Roy, Buttler give England a quickfire start

July 08, 2018 18:56

England 51-0 (5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

This looks like a completely flat deck as Roy takes a couple of steps down and punches Umesh down the ground past mid-off for a boundary.

Three balls later, Roy hits one straight to Hardik Pandya at mid-off, who lets one go through his hands and gifts England another four.

No stopping England as Roy then lofts a full delivery over the long-off fence for a six to get 14 from the over.

Siddarth Kaul comes into the attack, replacing Chahar, who bowled two overs for 19 runs.

Buttler is hit on the pads by a full delivery as Kaul appeals for leg before but the umpire is not interested and rightly so as wicketkeeper Dhoni showed no interest in that call, with the ball clearly slipping down the leg side.

No stopping England as Roy hammers a full delivery straight down the ground for a six as the hosts race past the 50-run mark in the fifth over.

The next delivery is again full but moves just a bit as Roy gets a leading trying to turn it on the leg side.

England are off to a flier as they race to 51 for no loss in five overs.
