Kohli, Pujara rally India

September 08, 2018 21:26

India 98-2 (30 ovs) vs Eng 332 | Scorecard

Moeen beats Kohli with some turn from the rough as the India captain looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. He then turns the last ball on the leg side for a single to get off the mark.

Another close shave for Kohli as Curran slants one across the right-hander, who has a poke and is beaten.

Kohli clips the third ball behind square on the leg side for a couple and then plays out the rest of the over.

In the next over, Pujara glances Moeen fine on the leg side for two runs and then picks one and Kohli takes a single from the last ball.

Curran drifts wide as Kohli steers it square on the off-side for two runs before he plays a cracking cover drive off the next for a four and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

In the next over, Moeen drops short as Kohli pulls it through the square leg region for another four.

Pujara comes down the track to the last ball and drives it down the ground for another boundary off Moeen's seventh over.

Anderson comes into the attack and he has a huge appeal for LBW turned down against Kohli before England decide to review. The ball comes in as Kohli is hit on the pads but the impact is just outside the line which means it stays with umpire's call.

The next ball again comes in but this time Kohli manages to clip it to fine leg for a four.

Realising the threat of Kohli, who has got off to a brisk start, England bring back Broad from the other end.

The tall pacer starts off well with a maiden over to Pujara, who defends watchfully.
