Sundar hits fifty as India build lead

March 05, 2021 16:51

India 290-7 (91 ovs) vs Eng 205 | Scorecard

Bess is back into the attack. He continues to struggle with his length as he gifts Sundar a full toss which he hits straight down the ground for a four.

He defends the next few balls before a leading edge off the last ball gets him a single.

Sharp turn for Leach but it too short as Sundar goes right back and flicks it through midwicket for one.

Leach then gets his line wrong as the ball turns big down the leg side beating wicketkeeper Foakes for four byes.

Axar then swings the last ball over midwicket for a four as nine runs come from the over.

That boundary also helps Axar take his runs tally in Tests to 22 -- the same as the number of wickets he has picked up so far.

England persist with Bess despite the off-spinner struggling to make an impact with the ball in this game so far.

This time he does well to keep things tight, not bowling any full tosses or half-tracker, as Sundar watchfully plays out a maiden over -- the first for Bess in this innings, having conceded 54 runs in 14 overs at nearly four per over.
