September 08, 2018 22:33

India 133-4 (44 ovs) vs Eng 332 | Scorecard

Stokes comes into the attack in place of Anderson, who bowled an excellent spell to leave India in trouble.

A single to Kohli off Stokes as he turns the first ball of the 41st over on the leg side. It has gone quite gloomy at the Oval but Vihari is rock solid in defence as he watchfully keeps out Stokes.

In the next over, Kohli pulls the first ball from Broad through square leg for a four before he gets a leg bye from the next.

Broad testing Vihari with sharp indippers but the youngster doing well to right behind and solidly keep it out.

Kohli pulls a short ball from Stokes for a single on the leg side before Vihari is hit on the pads by one which nips in quite a lot.

Curran comes into the attack in place of Broad. The first ball is a bit wide as Kohli steers it square on the off-side for two runs and then clips the next ball through square leg for a four.

Curran then gifts Kohli a full toss which he times through the gap in the covers for another four and hits the next ball in the same region for two more runs.

The last ball is again on the pads Kohli clips it through midwicket for two runs to take his score to 48 and also close in on 600 runs in the series.
