Cook, Root take England past 100

September 09, 2018 22:41

Eng 101-2 (38 ovs) & 332 vs India 292 | Scorecard

Shami comes back into the attack as the light takes full effect and the fast bowlers start to get some assistance, like they did for the last two days in the final session.

The first ball is on the pads as Cook turns it on the leg side for one and Root gets another run to mid-off off the next ball.

Cook picks another single to make it three runs from the over.

The Indian pacers bowl a bit too straight at Cook, who is happy to turn it on the leg side and keep the runs coming.

He clips Bumrah through midwicket for two runs and then takes a single and Root keeps strike with one from the last ball.

In the next over, Root flashes at a wide delivery from Shami but gets a thick outside edge which flies past the slips for a four.

But the next ball goes bang off the middle as Cook slaps it straight down the ground for another boundary to bring up England's 100, in the 38th over.
