Trademark Bumrah yorker to cap things off! He came close twice in the over and Topley was always fighting a losing battle by exposing his stumps so early. Bumrah just ensures that this yorker right on the base of off stump. Topley b Bumrah 3(7)
Now, this might not be as exceptional as their performance the other day but it's still a very fine bowling effort from India. Having won the toss, Rohit had no hesitation to bowl on a track that had some moisture in it initially. But unlike The Oval track, the surface here did dry up rather quickly and was a much better surface to bat on. Which is what makes this bowling performance laudable. Several English batters got starts but nobody really kicked on, and they also endured a mini-collapse of sorts, slipping from 72/1 to 102/5. Chahal was the star performer with some brave middle-overs bowling and almost all of his strikes were crucial, none more than that of Bairstow just when the Yorkshireman was threatening to go big. That scalp was the start of India's resurgence in the game and if not for the Moeen-Willey partnership, the score could have been much lower. Especially if the latter's catch was taken by Prasidh at fine leg early in the innings.India's bowling in general was spot on, except Prasidh at times. This is not an ultimate batting surface, but 246 definitely is around 30-40 runs less than par you'd think. Will take a special bowling effort from England to keep the series alive.
Abhinav Mylavarapu: England not scoring 300 while batting first, in consecutive ODI matches, is a very very rare sight
Today, there is enough score to take the match towards a few hours more than the last match!Originally posted by: dusk2dawn
Thank you for tag Madhuri ji ❤️🤗
Aaj phir se yeh log t20 toh nahi khelenge ?? 😆
So I can catch up 2nd innings after going home 😆
Another strong bowling performance from India, but this time led by the legspinner Chahal. England lost 4 for 30 in a frenetic fashion after they were 72 for 1 in the 15th over, with three of the wickets going to Chahal, who teased the batters with loop, turn and dip. And don't be fooled by the figures of Shami - he ended with 1 for 48 - as another luckless day meant he beat the batters innumerable times, but still had only one wicket.
