Pant, Jadeja take India's lead past 100

June 23, 2021 18:04

India 137-5 (60 ovs) & 217 vs NZ 249 | Scorecard

Jamieson gets the ball to rise sharply as Pant is able to leave it but he defends the others which are pitched full.

Pant gently drives the overpitched delivery past the fielder in the covers for a couple of runs and blocks out the last ball.

Wagner continues the bouncer strategy as Jadeja still goes for the pull for a single to fine leg.

Pant also won't hold back. He shuffles across and tries to scoop Wagner fine but misses and wicketkeeper BJ Watling, who has dislocated a finger on his right hand, is unable to collect cleanly to concede a bye.

Jadeja gets on top of the short ball as he defends it and does the same next ball.

A good bouncer directed at the body as Jadeja takes it on the body, with the ball hitting the bat handle and going through the vacant slip region for a single.

Jamieson also keeps it on the shorter side, slanting the ball across left-hander Jadeja, who is happy to leave the wide deliveries.

Slightly fuller from Jamieson and closer to the stumps as Jadeja drops his hands and leaves the ball on length.

The next ball comes in sharply as Jadeja is caught in two minds, initially looking to leave before he tries to block but the ball goes under the bat and narrowly misses the stumps.
