Vihari hits half-century to steady India

September 09, 2018 16:55

India 220-6 (71 ovs) vs Eng 332 | Scorecard

Ben Stokes comes into the attack, in place of Anderson. He starts with a maiden over to Vihari, who is content to play out the over from the fast bowler.

Rashid bowls a full toss as Jadeja drives it down the ground for one. Vihari is unable to make most of a full toss as he clips it through midwicket but can't find the gap. He clips the last ball to fine leg for two runs to take his score into the 40s and also bring up the 50-run stand from 117 balls.

Vihari plays a cracking drive, hitting a wide delivery from Stokes through the covers for a four and then takes a single to inch closer to his half-century.

Rashid gets a bit of turn as Vihari is drawn forward and gets the edge which goes past the slip fielder for a couple and he takes one off the last ball to take his score to 49.

Stokes tries a bouncer as Vihari is content to duck under it. He taps the next ball on the off-side for a single to complete his half-century, from 104 balls.

A few balls later, Stokes has a caught behind appeal turned down against Jadeja and England decide to take the review. But there is no spike on the UltraEdge and Dharmasena's decision stays.
