Kohli, Rahane build India's lead

August 25, 2019 00:42

Ind 125-3 (48 ovs) & 297 vs WI 222 | Scorecard

Rahane and Kohli are getting their eye in with some easy runs against Chase, who has given away 16 runs in his last three overs.

Rahane, usually a slow starter, has started off confidently after his half-century in the first innings, to score 17 from 39 balls.

Kohli has eased his way to 21 from 44 balls and would be keen to convert this into a big knock.

Finally, a change in the bowling as Roach comes back into the attack.

He makes immediate impact as Rahane misses a full delivery on the pads and the West Indies appeal for leg before which is turned down.

They decide to take the review but the impact is on leg stump and the ball is going further down as the the Windies lose one of their reviews.

Rahane, on 17, gets a lifeline off the very next ball. He gets a leading edge trying to turn it on the leg side but Campbell in the covers puts down a regulation catch diving forward.

West Indies will feel disappointed at catches going down as wickets are difficult to come by on this slow wicket.

Part-time off-spinner Kraigg Brathwaite comes into the attack as he replaces Chase. The two Indian batsmen easily collect three runs from his first over.

Roach creating some chances. This time Kohli goes chasing at a wide delivery without any footwork and is beaten as the ball moves away.

And two balls later, Kohli looks to defend a full delivery but is beaten again as Roach gets the ball to jag away enough.

Roach gets greedy as he comes even closer trying to get the outswinger working again but this time Kohli clips it off his pads for two runs.

The Brathwaite experiment if anything is only helping the Indians as the two batsmen pick three more singles from his second over.
