Watch: Mohammed Shami nicked off Moeen Ali with the first ball of his second spell against England in Lucknow, sparking joyous celebrations between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
India contributed well to England’s batting line-up. He posted scores of 229-9 under attack from Jos Buttler before Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah came out on top to reduce the defending champions to 39-4.
Shami was recalled to the attack soon after Kuldeep Yadav bowled Jos Buttler to give India their fifth wicket. Shami’s first pitch was great, long enough to invite Moeen to bat and scrape the outside edge of the bat. As Shami screamed in celebration, KL Rahul easily grabbed the ball in his glove and threw it in the air.
With this breakthrough, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also showed how happy they are with the team’s position. Kohli opened his eyes and ran towards the captain with his arms outstretched and gave Shami a high five before running past the captain and hugging Rohit.
The two high-fived twice and then Rohit was lifted into the air by Kohli’s embrace. After the wicket, England had 81-6 in his 24 overs and Shami had 3-5 in his.
Chris Woakes was the next wicket to fall after being tripped by Rahul as he passed a throw from Ravindra Jadeja. The defeat was England’s fourth in a row in this competition, further cementing their place at the bottom of the table.
