Munaf Patel thrown the ball and for most part, he looks much better than most other Indian bowlers. The only boundary in that over came through a slice over third-man for Kieswetter. And that means that England has taken nine from that over.
England V India 2nd ODI Live Score And Updates: Kieswetter Falls But England On Course For Win
For some reason, Munaf looks frustrated after the final ball of that over. Not that it takes too much for one to frustrate him anyway.
England 65/0 in 6 overs
Vinay Kumar gets the breakthrough. Ashwin removed from the attack, Vinay brought in and he has Kieswetter lbw. Ganguly points out that this was exactly how he had got out in the first ODI as well.
The run-rate does not stall though; the man in the cynosure of the fans’ eyes - Ian Bell - gets two boundaries away as England continue to dominate in a similar way as they had in the Tests. And in the one-off T20I.
England 75/1 in 7 overs
Right, so the Powerplay overs are done and dusted and in comes Virat Kohli, who had taken a wicket in the one-off T20. The customary is hit, off a slow, short ball to Cook but the rest of the over is done decently. ‘Only’ nine from it, including a dropped caught and bowled from Bell. Almost like he did not expect the catch to come back.
England 84/1 in 8 overs
If ever there was a rich vein of form, it has to be Bell’s; another couple of boundaries with a reverse sweep and a classic cover-drive. The asking run-rate continues to come down and the way they are going, they will soon be chasing less than a run every ball.
Cook continues to milk it away. Who will Dhoni bring on now? Himself? Dravid?
England 97/1 in 9 overs
It is Kohli to continue and it is runs coming all around again. This time though, there are no boundaries but if Kohli can be called a threatening bowler, then I am Bill Gates. Six come from the over as England bring up their 100.
England 103/1 in 10 overs
