September 01, 2018 22:30

England 233-7 (85 ovs) & 246 vs India 273 | Scorecard

Surprisingly, India don't take the second new ball as Ashwin continues to bowl in tandem with Pandya.

While Ashwin bowls a maiden, Buttler and Curran easily pick Pandya for five runs in his ninth over.

The second new ball is taken after 82 overs and decides to continue with off-spinner Ashwin.

A single to Buttler off the first ball before Curran drills the last ball through the covers for a four.

India bring back their best bowler Bumrah into the attack, to bowl with the new ball. Buttler sensibly plays out a maiden from India's premier strike bowler.

Pace from both ends as Ishant comes back into the attack. He makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Buttler, who is given out leg before wicket after he is beaten by the incoming delivery as he tries to flick it across the line.

Buttler immediately takes the DRS but to no avail as the ball is going on to clip the stumps and the decision stands.

Buttler walks back after a splendid innings of 69 as England are reduced to 233 for seven in 85 overs, with an overall lead of 206 runs.
