Rohit hits fifty to give India good start

August 12, 2021 18:55

India 77-0 (26 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Rohit waiting on the backfoot as he guides the wide delivery from Wood past the gully fielder for two runs.

Wood tries the short ball which is down the leg side as Rohit pulls it fine for a four and then takes the single to inch closer to his fifty.

A good short ball from Wood directed at the body as Rahul does well to keep it down.

In the next over, Rohit and Rahul take a single each before the former taps Robinson on the leg side for one to bring up his fifty from 83 balls.

Wood bowls a cracking delivery to beat Rohit, short of good length and moving away sharply at good pace.

Rohit perished to the short ball in the first innings of the first Test but it will not stop him from playing the shot again. He takes on the short ball from Wood as he looks to have miscued the pull shot but it carries over the fine leg fence for a six.

India are well placed on 77 for no loss in 26 overs, with Rohit on 56 and Rahul on 15.
