— England Cricket (@englandcricket) 1657466022000Rohit wanted to chase at the toss and his side has a big task ahead of them! India do have the quality, the wicket is a good one to bat on but they will have to bat brilliantly. Can they do so? Can they complete the whitewash? We will find out.
India will be quite disappointed! It seemed like they just did not turn up for this game! They were poor with the ball and not that great in the field too. Ravi Bishnoi was the only shinning light but the others were taken to the cleaners. A few dropped catches also did not help their cause.
England's batting has finally come to the fore! A real power-packed performance from them. They came out with a very aggressive approach and kept playing their shots despite wickets falling. Most of their batters who batted got off to starts, they needed one to go on and it was Malan who played a scintillating knock. It is usually him who the team plays around but today, he also took the attack to the bowlers and played a long innings, just what England. They surely have a score which they will back themselves to defend.
Umran Malik to Chris Jordan, OUT! RUN OUT! Chris Jordan tries to get in one extra run for his side but gets run out on the final delivery. Short of a length, over middle, this is pulled down to deep mid-wicket. The batters push for two but Ravindra Jadeja with his rocket arm throws it to the keeper and Rishabh Pant does the rest. England finish with 215/7!
Umran Malik to Chris Jordan, SIX! Up and over! 50 is up for Umran Malik, not a sight he would like to see. A regulation length ball, outside off. Chris Jordan slaps it over the cover fence for a maximum.
Umran Malik to Chris Jordan, FOUR! Edgy boundary but Chris Jordan will take it all day. Very full and quick, at the base of leg stump. Jordan manages to get a bottom edge on it and gets it past short fine leg for a boundary.
Umran Malik to Liam Livingstone, Leg bye! Good length, at 142 clicks and angling into middle and leg. Livingstone misses the heave leg side and gets hit high on the pads. The batters scamper through for a leg bye.
Umran Malik to Liam Livingstone, Two more! Full and straight, whipped away towards the fine leg fence. The fielder from the backward square leg fence runs in and just gets rid of the ball before making contact with the rope. Saves two runs for his team.
Umran Malik to Liam Livingstone, Length ball, around the top of off, Livingstone looks to swing it away leg side but ends up drilling it towards long off. They come back for two and 200 is now up for England!
Umran Malik to Liam Livingstone, WIDE! Starts off the final over with a short and wide ball, it's a bit too wide though. Livingstone leaves it alone.
