| Highlights & Analysis |
India Vs England: 1st Innings
- The pitch had some live grass on it but overall it’s appearance was dry. This factor plus the square boundary being quite smaller than the other one made it a good wicket to bat on.
- For this reason, England’s captain, Morgan chose to bat first. On the other hand, Kohli was pretty content with the toss as he would have chosen to field first.
- Play started as Jason Roy and Johnny Bairstow walked out to bat and Umesh Yadav was given the new ball by the Indian captain.
- And as expected England got off to a flying start and mustered up the 50 run partnership in 8 overs.
- Kohli made a change of tactics and brought the spinner, Chahal into the attack.
- The spinner put pressure on the batsmen and Kuldeep Yadav came from the other end and got the wicket of Bairstow.
- Joe Root joined Jason Roy. Both batsmen stood at the crease for 3 more overs before Roy failed the spin test once again as Kuldeep Yadav claimed his wicket.
- The England captain Eoin Morgan joined Joe Root. The pair used their experience very well against the Indian spinners and brought up the second fifty run partnership of the match.
- Kohli made regular changes in bowling but the Morgan and Root had every answer to the tactics of the Indian captain.
- Joe Root got to his fifty as the partnership between the two reached a hundred runs.
- Soon, Eoin Morgan also reached his half century but departed in the very same over to India’s trump card, Kuldeep Yadav.
- Ben Stokes joined Joe Root. At this point, England were 3 wickets down for 189 runs and over 19 overs to go.
- India needed to make a grip on this this match and it was given to them by Hardik Pandya as Stokes lost his wicket after managing 5 runs off the bat.
- The in-form Jos Buttler joined Joe Root. Kohli knew the importance of his wicket and brought Umesh Yadav into the attack.
- This tactic worked as Buttler’s mistake to play the ball close to his body gave Umesh Yadav his first wicket of the match.
- Moeen Ali joined Joe Root. The pair added 26 runs to the total after which Chahal claimed the wicket of Ali.
- David Willey joined Joe Root. At this point, England were 6 wickets down with 239 runs on the board and only 8 overs in hand.
