September 01, 2018 22:09
England 218-6 (80 ovs) & 246 vs India 273 | Scorecard
Ashwin gets one to rip and turn as Buttler is hit on the pads but the leg before appeal is turned down.
The next ball is a full toss as Buttler drills it through the covers for a four to bring up his fifty, from 96 balls.
The ball still doing things as Ashwin gets one to turn sharply and kick off from length. That was pitched outside the leg-stump but it spun right across Curran, who was beaten all ends up and even wicketkeeper Pant struggled to collect it.
Infact, Pant has suffered a blow on his throat in his attempt to gather the ball which kicked off from length and the physio has to come out to attend.
It looks like Ashwin and Pandya just going rushing through their overs as India look to reach the 80-over mark so they can take the second new ball.
All the three frontline pacers are enjoying a break despite Buttler running away with the game in the company of Curran.
Buttler in full flow as he brings out a cracking cover drive off a Pandya half-volley for a four to take the total to 218 for six in 80 overs, for an overall lead of 191 runs.
