India Lose Openers As Lead Nears 300 At Trent Bridge
Trent Bridge 19,Aug : All-rounder Hardik Pandya wreaked havoc as his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket took England by storm in the post-lunch session on Day 2 of the Trent Bridge Test. Pandya’s figures of 5 for 28 tore apart the English middle-order as the hosts from 108 for 4 at one stage, slumped to 128 for 9. At Tea, England got bundled out for 161 with Jos Buttler (39) being the highest scorer for the team. Indian pacers in the second session of the day made full use of the overcast conditions. After a solid opening stand by Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings in the morning session, pace duo of Ishant sharma and Jasprit Bumrah started the post-lunch session, bowling at terrific line and lengths. Ishant drew the first blood, dismissing Cook with a beautiful delivery angling across. Jasprit Numrah, on the very next ball, got rid of Keaton Jennings in similar fashion. Although Ollie Pope and skipper Joe Root tried to steady the England innings, but a poor shot from Pope on the leg side ended his stay at the crease. With an extended tea session, Hardik Handya went on a rampage, dismissing England batsmen at will. The entire England batting order collapsed like a pack of cards. Along with Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma chipped in with two wickets each while Mohammed Shami managed a wicket as well. England trail by 168 runs after the first innings.
Brief scores:
IND:324&124/2(Dhawan 44,rahul 36,rashid 1/23)
ENG:161 (Buttler 39,cook 29,pandya 5/28)
