March 05, 2021 10:43

India 41-3 (27 ovs) vs Eng 205 | Scorecard

England happy to keep pacers going from one end as it has helped keep control of things.

Rohit has been happy to bide his time against the pacers, not taking any risks, which has allowed England to attack with spinner Leach from the other end.

If England keep the run scoring in check and chip away at the wickets regularly they could put India's batting line-up under pressure.

Stokes does well to bowl a maiden over to Rohit, who looks keen to stay out as long as possible without bothering about the scoreboard at this stage.

Leach to new batsman Virat Kohli, who pushes the first ball into the covers and then blocks out the next.

Leach giving it a lot of flight as Kohli comes forward to defend the next few balls and then leaves the next.

Stokes then brings England back in the contest with the big wicket of Kohli, who is caught behind for a duck.

Stokes had been toiling hard from one end. He puts in some extra effort to get the ball to bounce more than expected as Kohli hangs his bat out and gets the edge to be caught behind for a duck.

That is Kohli's second duck of the series to leave India in trouble on 41/3, still trailing England by 164 runs.

This has been England's morning so far, with India losing two wickets for 17 runs in 15 overs.
