England Openers Fall Cheaply

Later, England suffered a big blow at the start with their openers falling cheaply. Rory Burns could only pile up 5 runs before losing his wicket to Jasprit Bumrah. Later, Haseeb Hameed lost his wicket for a duck against another spectacular delivery by Jasprit Bumrah. Umesh Yadav gave a big shock to the hosts after he clean bowled Joe Root. With 21 runs, the England skipper Joe Root could not provide great help to the hosts in batting this time.

England currently rail at 53-3 on the scoreboard with Dawid Malan batting at 26 and Craig Overton on the other end at 1 run. Indian bowlers have successfully managed to attack England’s top order so far but they need to crush the other batsmen quickly to gain domination in the match.

The England vs India 2021 series is at a stalemate 1-1 now with the visitors winning the 2nd Test while hosts emerged victorious in the 3rd Test. England vs India 1st Test ended in a draw after getting affected by rain.
