August 12, 2021 19:10

India 91-0 (30 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Rohit gets a big inside edge as he tries to drive Wood through the off-side. The inside edge narrowly misses the stumps and goes past the wicketkeeper for a four.

But the ball goes off the middle a few balls later as Rohit plays a thumping hook shot off the front foot through midwicket for another boundary.

Wood generating some serious pace but Rohit unfazed as he offers solid defence to the last two balls of the over.

Spin introduced for the first time by England in the series as Moeen Ali comes into the attack.

Rahul watchfully defends the first ball and leaves the next. Good flight from Moeen as Rahul is happy to block but is beaten last ball as he tries to cut.

Curran, who went for 28 runs in five overs in his first spell, is back into the attack.

Rohit taps the first ball for a single to midwicket and Rahul picks one off the next to square leg.

Another easy single for Rohit on the leg side before Rahul misses the glance but it goes fine off his pads for two leg byes.

Rahul plays a cracking straight drive but Curran stops it on his follow through.

India well placed on 91 for no loss in 30 overs, with Rohit on 66 and Rahul on 16.
