Eng 359-8 (107 overs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah to bowl the first over after the lunch. Starts off with a fullish delivery that angles in and Carse defends it with soft hands. 

Two dots later, Carses misses a flick of a ball straying down the leg and the ball hits his pads and rolls away. 1 run (leg byes).

Two more dot balls to end the over. Just a single come off it. 


Siraj operates from the other end. Carse picks a single through backward point and brings Smith on strike. 

Out! Siraj provides the breakthrough with his second ball after lunch. Smith is out caught by stand-in keeper Dhurv Jurel. Length delivery outside off that swung away and Smith, trying to drive it on the rise, feathers it to Jurel behind the stumps. 

He departs after a well-made 51 off 56 balls with six boundaries. The 88-run partnership is broken finally! 

Jofra Archer is the new man in and he opens his account with a lucky boundary as he edges a swinging delivery outside off through the gap between third slip and gully.

Three dots to end the over. Five runs come off it.
