Rohit out for 83; India lose 1st wkt

August 12, 2021 20:10

India 126-1 (44 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Rahul finally decides to break the shackles. He comes down the track and lofts Moeen down the ground for a six over long-off, for his first boundary of the innings after 108 balls.

He watchfully defends the next few balls and then takes a single off the fifth ball through the covers.

The clouds are back as Anderson comes back into the attack. Rahul takes a quick single off the first ball and Rohit defends the next couple of balls and is then beaten outside the off-stump as he hangs his bat out.

Wood, who bowled a sharp first spell of five overs, comes back into the attack.

Rahul again turns the strike over with a single to point and Rohit takes one off the next delivery.

Rahul drives the fourth ball through the covers for two runs and is then beaten trying to play the pull shot and then ducks under a short ball.

Anderson makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of Rohit, who is bowled after a fine innings of 83, hitting 11 fours and a six in his 145-ball knock.

Rohit looked all set for his first Test century away from home but Anderson foiled his plans with a superb incoming delivery. The ball comes in sharply and beats Rohit, who tries to defend but it goes off the back pad on to the off-stump.
