... THE RUN CHASE ...
India on the other hand have shown why their bowling attack is so highly rated. They were on the money and extracted the most off the pitch. The opening bowlers were on fire and were really unlucky to not pick more wickets. Overall they conceded a few runs through short balls but bowled to a plan and kept regularly picking at the English wickets. Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers as he ended up taking 4 wickets while conceding only 47 runs in his full quota of 10 overs. Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah contributed with 2 wickets each and overall all the bowlers performed wonderfully to bowl out their opponents. Their batters do have an opportunity here to secure the series. Can they do so? Or will England pull off something special? We will find out. Stay tuned for the second essay!
The English openers started tentatively but managed to negotiate the new ball and preserve their wickets with a little bit of luck. However, both gave away their wickets after getting off to a decent start and the batters that followed kept up with the aggressive approach but did not last long. Eventually, England found themselves reeling at 102 for the loss of 5 wickets. Liam Livingstone played a cameo and perished in a short-ball hitting competition against Hardik Pandya. It was the partnership between Moeen Ali and David Willey of 62 runs that pushed the total beyond the 200 mark. Both of them though fell short of their half centuries and now they will have to come out with some intent with the ball if they have to win this game.
Rohit Sharma will be absolutely thrilled with the performance of his bowlers after winning the toss. The pitch was not as helpful as the one we saw at The Oval and despite that, they have managed to bowl out and restrict this strong English batting lineup to a total of 246. They would be silently confident of achieving this target and sealing the series.
