Stokes, Buttler take England past 150

September 01, 2018 21:05

England 169-5 (66 ovs) & 246 vs India 273 | Scorecard

Ashwin continues but he is not posing any threat to the two England batsmen -- Stokes and Buttler -- who without taking any risks are slowly but steadily keep the scoreboard ticking along.

Buttler has been quite a few times as Bumrah again goes past the edge. The pacer then drifts on the pads as Buttler clips it through square leg for a four.

In the next over, Ashwin flights one and beats Buttler with some big turn as the right-hander is hit on the pads. But the next ball is flatter as Buttler can rock back and turn it on the leg side for one.

Ashwin has been inconsistent with his length today and England have been able to easily deal with him.

Finally, Hardik Pandya comes into the attack, to bowl the 66th over of the innings.

The first ball is on the leg stump as Buttler turns it through square leg for two runs and then takes one.

Stokes slashes at a short wide delivery but fails to make connection before he is beaten by a full delivery which moves away enough to go past the edge.
