Buttler takes England past 250

September 08, 2018 16:42

England 251-8 (104 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Mohammed Shami comes into the attack, replacing Ishant. The first ball moves away a great deal as Buttler offers no shot and wicketkeeper Pant has to dive full length to his right and collect it in front of first slip.

The next ball again goes away as Buttler gets a thick outside edge to thirdman for one and Broad runs the next ball to the same region for another single.

Buttler chases a wide outswinger but is beaten as Shami can't believe his luck as he goes wicketless after 23 overs so far, after beating the bat so many times in this match.

Bumrah tries a bouncer to Broad who ducks under it as it slips down the leg side and Pant does well to stop it with a diving save. Three singles in the over as the duo keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Another good delivery from Shami, the wide outswinger as Buttler plays and misses again. The next ball is on the stumps as the right-hander clips it to deep midwicket for a couple.

England have progressed to 243 for eight in 103 overs at the first drinks break of the day, scoring 45 runs in 10 overs in the first hour while losing one wicket.

Spin introduced on Day 2 as Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, replacing Bumrah.

Buttler picks a single off the first ball before Broad steers the third ball past the slips for three runs.

Jadeja then drops one short as Buttler cuts it square on the off-side for a four to take England past 250.
