Oops England lost two
211-2. Crawley and Pope
Prasidh to Crawley, OUT
Away swing, and taken at slip, against the run of play. Fullish ball was angling in towards off and Crawley tried to drive through cover without moving across. Would’ve been okay had the ball not moved. On the up. Went high off the bat and quickly, Rahul took it sharply to his right.
Zak Crawley c Rahul b Prasidh Krishna 65 (126b 7x4 0x6) SR: 51.58
Prasidh to Pope, OUT
Another beaut from Krishna, this one nips back to find the inside edge and castle Pope. Might be on the leg. Good length, landed around off and seamed in. Pope looked to punch it straight but couldn’t account for the movement. Leg stump dinked. Prasidh pumps his fist. India have two after the break
Ollie Pope b Prasidh Krishna 8 (8b 2x4 0x6) SR: 100
Duckett gone for 149, dollies a regulation catch to the sub fielder
Thakur to Duckett, OUT
Softy, taken at cover. Duckett falls for 149! 128ks full and wide, Duckett gets on one knee and tries to muscle it. Ball hovers low to the left of Reddy, the sub fielder, who takes it.
Ben Duckett c sub (K Nitish Kumar Reddy) b Thakur 149 (170b 21x4 1x6) SR: 87.64
England 253-3, require 118 runs
Thakur to Brook, OUT
Strangled. Classic Lord Thakur, gets Brook first ball with a leg-stump half volley.
Harry Brook c †Pant b Thakur 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
