He dismisses Jos Buttler for 17. #ENGvIND | #WTC23 | https://t.co/HOyTN1o5ml pic.twitter.com/enc3U9xbwH - 19:56 (IST)100 Runs!Single and here it is 100 runs lead for England. Indian bowlers have dominated the English batsmen in this game but they failed to stop the scoreboard going and if England score another 150 runs then definitely it will be a difficult task for India in the fourth innings while chasing the target. India need few more wicket and specially Joe Root's wicket.England 195/4, lead by 100 runs
