IN PICS: ICC World Cup 2019, India vs England, Match 38

Eoin Morgan won an important toss at Edgbaston in Birmingham and England opted to bat first.

Roy then followed his opening partner to the landmark in just 41 balls. @ AFP


Bairstow completed a 56-ball fifty when he launched Chahal for a six that just cleared the back-pedalling KL Rahul at long-on, the fielder landing awkwardly as he made a desperate attempt at a catch. @ Twitter/England Cricket



Opting to bat, England were off to a flier with Jason Roy, back in the side despite being only 80 per cent fit, forging 160 runs for the opening wicket with Jonny Bairstow. @ AFP



Bairstow did ride his luck with a couple of inside edges off Mohammed Shami going down to the fine-leg fence. @ AFP


Roy could have been out on 21 when Hardik Pandya appealed for a caught behind down the legside off his fourth delivery. But experienced Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar signalled a wide instead and Kohli opted against a review, although replays suggested the ball had touched Roy’s glove. @ AFP


The dangerous partnership was broken by Kuldeep Yadav, but it was the 12th man Ravindra Jadeja, standing in place of KL Rahul, who picked up a stunner after he ran to his left from long-on, dived full length forward at full speed and took it inches from the ground. Roy departed for a well made 66 off 57. @ AFP


Bairstow reached his eighth ODI hundred in just 90 balls, including eight fours and six sixes. @ AFP


But Bairstow’s innings ended on 111 when the Yorkshireman carved Shami to Rishabh Pant at deep cover to leave his side 205-2 in the 32nd over. Shami sent England captain Eoin Morgan soon as quick strikes pegged the home team back. @ AFP





Joe Root (44 off 56 balls) dropped anchor during a 70-run stand before getting out to Shami as Stoke hit six fours and three sixes to boost the total. @ BCCI


Bairstow lost a bit of sting after Roy’s dismissal and finally was out for 111 that had 10 fours and half a dozen sixes. @ AFP


Ben Stokes (79 off 54 balls) then used the platform to give the total an imposing look in a do-or-die game for the hosts. England finished at 337/7 after 50 overs. Twitter/Cricket World Cup


In reply, KL Rahul (0) did not have the measure of Woakes as he was out for a nine-ball duck bringing Kohli and Rohit together. @ AFP


Rohit and Kohli were cautious till the 15th over before opening up against Adil Rashid and Ben Stokes, hitting the duo for a flurry of boundaries. @ AFP


While Kohli reached his fifth successive half-century of the tournament, it was Rohit who dominated the bowling after reaching his own half-ton. @ AFP


Their 138-run stand ended when Kohli’s slash drive off Plunkett was pouched by substitute fielder James Vince at point. @ Twitter/Cricket World Cup


Rohit and young Rishabh Pant (32 off 29 balls) added 52 off 48 balls and the Indian vice-captain also reached his 25th ODI hundred in the process. However, his innings ended as Woakes got him first ball off his second spell, caught by Jos Buttler. @ Twitter/ICC


Pant tried his short-arm pull-shot off Plunkett and was brilliantly caught by a diving Woakes in the deep as Dhoni joined Pandya. @ Twitter/Cricket World Cup


Chris Woakes (2/58 in 10 overs) and Liam Plunkett (3/55 in 10 overs) were steady and impressive but it was Jofra Archer’s (0/45 in 10 overs) extra pace that the Indian middle-order, including the hard-hitting Hardik Pandya (45 off 33 balls), found difficult to negotiate.
