England Aim To Keep Series Alive

“There are a lot of positives for us to take from the other game”, said the 26-year-old, a unsafe batsmen down the order.

Hello and Welcometo our Live Coverage of the second ODI between India and England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.

‘There’s a few things we’ve been working on in the nets and hopefully we can put them into practice in a couple of days, ‘ said Ball. It’s just one of those things with all global batsmen.

While England bowlers will be targetting at getting the back of Kohli, dark horses like Jadhav still can take the game away from their grasp if they continue to focus on individuals and not the top six Indian batsmen.

A number of England players will be looking to turn out in the IPL with huge paychecks on offer but at the time England will be playing an ODI series against Ireland.

But as a snarling middle-over aggressor with the most potent bouncer in the squad, Plunkett would appear to offer a more genuine wicket-taking threat than Chris Woakes who, for all his qualities, does not yet seem as comfortable for England with the white ball as the red.

“I am happy for Kedar”, Kanitkar said.

“I play every game thinking it could be my last”.

“I can recall many moments when I felt I did not do this, don’t know how it got executed”. Skipper Eoin Morgan will want more from his spinners, especially Adil Rashid, who went for 50 runs from his five overs on Sunday. Will India clinch the series or will England keep the series alive? From there on, the diminutive powerhouse scored a 76-ball 120, which included 12 fours and 4 sixes.

The Kohli-led side lead the three-match series 1-0 and will next face England on January 19 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. “We think we were in the game for most of it”.

England would need something extraordinary to recover from the body blows as they have to win the remaining two matches which would requite quite a feat. The Delhiite’s superlative performances with the bat have inspired other players to raise the bar of their capabilities. “We reached 350 without anyone going on to get a hundred”.

The 28-year-old did struggle when he came to England in 2014 and he will be tested again when India return here in 2018 but he has adapted his game from two years ago and is going from strength to strength.

Some fans in one of the stands got agitated with the Indian team and started hurling plastic bottles onto the ground, a sight displeasing to any cricket enthusiast, let alone cricketers. We were trying to maintain a run-rate of 7/over, and at 63/4 their fielders were in catching position.
