India off to a cautious start

August 12, 2021 16:42

India 11-0 (10 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

First change in the bowling as Sam Curran replaces Anderson, who bowled four overs with the new ball.

The first ball is defended into the covers by Rohit before he is hit on the pads next ball and is then beaten with one slanted across him and he plays out the last two balls as Curran starts off with a maiden over.

Robinson gets the ball to jag in as Rahul gets the inside edge before he flicks the next to fine leg for one..

Rohit defends the next couple of balls and then makes most of the wrong line from Robinson as he plays a nice flick through midwicket for a couple.

This has been a slow but an assured start by the Indians as they play out the first 10 overs, reaching 11 for no loss. There have been a few play and misses but importantly the openers have denied England an early wicket with their cautious approach, looking to leave as much as possible.
