Five-star Ishant leaves Windies in a mess

August 24, 2019 03:11

WI 186-8 (57 ovs) vs India 297 | Scorecard

Shami comes back into the attack. Hetmyer pushes the second ball past point for a single and captain Jason Holder watchfully plays out the rest of the over.

In the next over, Hetmyer opens the face of the bat at the last minute and steers Ishant past gully for a four before he tries to repeat the shot but is beaten.

Ishant then strikes with the wicket of Hetmyer who drives it straight back and the fast bowler comes up with another sharp catch on his follow through, doing well to get down and take it inches off the ground.

His second caught and bowled of the innings as Ishant registers his fourth wicket of the innings, to leave West Indies reeling on 179 for seven.

And Ishant completes his five-wicket haul in the same over. The cross seam delivery works again for the lanky pacer as Kemar Roach looks to drive a full delivery but gets the edge and is caught by Virat Kohli at third slip.

Shami to bowl from the other end as India look to wrap up things before stumps. Holder defends the first three balls and then runs a wide delivery past the slips for a four to get off the mark.

Shami pitches it on the stumps as Holder clips it through midwicket for three more and Miguel Cummins blocks the last ball.
