Bhuvneshwar 1-63(10 ov)
49.6
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, 1 run, and India seal the deal. All it required was an over filled with yorkers by Bhuvi to close it off. Another one comes right in and it is slapped away without getting under it. Rolls away to long-off but the Indians are ecstatic. So is Barabati
49.5
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, no run, a finger rolling yorker. Too good for the number nine. Too good for him to even manage getting some wood on it as he slashes hard
49.4
Bhuvneshwar to Willey, 1 run, and Kohli has his fist pump. Was way too quiet all day and the perfect yorker enables him to do the same. Jammed away off the inside edge to a diving Dhoni. Only a single. Mathematically out are the English
49.3
Bhuvneshwar to Willey, 2 runs, a misfied. But it continues to keep Plunkett off strike. Pierces it to extra cover and Ashwin, with all his nerves lets the ball hop off his thigh in backing up
49.2
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, 1 run, brilliance all around in the field. In the slot that coaches ask for and Plunkett stabs it out to cover. Where Yuvraj was stationed and he shows us glimpes of his age old self with his dive to intercept a certain boundary
49.1
Bhuvneshwar to Willey, 1 run, serious death bowling. Fires it on the wide side flirting with the line but how does that matter? Willey isn't going to leave it alone, stretches and carves it past point. Just a single. 21 off 5 needed
47.6
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, a dance in trademark fashion down the track, too close for comfort in the end as he tries to fetch one from outside off in heaving it away. Has to make peace with a single off the inside half of the bat
47.5
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, 1 run, ahh the nerves. Should have been a wide. Had he not messed around with it. Reaches out to fence it away and gets the cue end down to third man, very tamely
47.4
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, switches sides, gets the yorker almost right. The wide one and driven powerfully down to long-off
47.3
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, he goes to the other side. And finds his Hyderabad team mate slicing him away. Uses the angle from over the wicket to slant away from him to lean into its line and smear it away. They are turning it on
47.2
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, the crossed seamed wasted line. The dew effect for sure. Way down leg and Morgan isn't going to let these freebies go unpunished. Swings his mighty blade and with more of the chunk on it to swipe it away. Just a standing dispatch into the long leg ropes
47.1
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, 2 runs, the wrong line. Gone horibly wrong. Down leg, on the fuller side and swiped away to Dhawan at the fence behind square
45.6
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, FOUR, and now he goes through the other side. More use of the feet but trusts the angle coming into him to heave it away. Pierces the gap to perfection
45.5
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, Bumrah with his saves. Nicely done at 45-degrees behind square to cut off a flick
45.4
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, slapped away. With his dnacing shoes on. The pacy delivery vanishes into the fence. A skip down the ground with the room manufacturing in tandem and carves it through the line. Doesn't even bother keeping it down
45.3
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, 1 run, oh my. What was that? Given as runs and if that is the case Plunkett is out. Digs it out but according to the umpire gets the inside tickle to the keeper. And there's no appeal either. A shy at the sticks allows them to steal a change of strike
45.2
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, no run, another in-pitch slower dig. Plunkett doesn't even bother offering a shot. Bamboozled in the air and then just doesn't recover
45.1
Bhuvneshwar to Plunkett, no run, a leg-cutter . And earns him a vital dot. Off a length and foxes Plunkett in with the pace, or rather the lack of it
43.6
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, no run, just a single. A mere three runs and a wicket off this over. This one courtesy a stab through the off-side
43.5
Bhuvneshwar to Woakes, 1 run, chipped away in the air. Another off-cutter with perfect control. Ballooned over the bowler
43.4
Bhuvneshwar to Woakes, no run, nipping back in. Right on the money to welcome the new man. Just a standing defence
43.3
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, out Bowled!! The break brings in the lapse in concentration. A slanter going away with the change of pace and catches Moeen Ali early on his drive away from his body. Doesn't really bother moving his feet away from its initial position as he jabs away from his body. Too hard, loses his entire shape in the process and watches the zing bails light up with the ricochet off the inside edge. Moeen Ali b Bhuvneshwar 55(43) [4s-6]
43.2
Bhuvneshwar to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, another top yorker. The perfect death stuff. Right off the coaching manual. Breaks his bat in the process of digging the ball out. Bangs it into the wicket as he ekes it off the outer half of his bat to short third man
43.1
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, 1 run, perfect yorker. Slanting in with the angle on the base of off. Jabs his bat in the way to hammer it down the ground
41.6
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, boy Kedar. And his running slide. Runs in with an anticipated bolt as he dives and gets in the way of a reaching stab to guide this fuller length one through the squarish side of cover
41.5
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, chips it in the air, high and checked. Once again, the lack of timing takes it to no man's land. A couple of bounces to extra cover in the deep mopping up
41.4
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, no run, full, veering into the blockhole. The wide one. Cannot get enough chunk on it with his attempted jam out. To the right of a diving Dhoni
41.3
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, another mighty pull, without any sort of the timing. But here's the advantage of the lack of it - it finds the gap. Grabs him a couple
41.2
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, Oh dear. That's Jadeja of everyone possible. And he's taking it all too casually. He's put down a skier. And he did not even his hands to it. Right through them and takes the blow on his chest. A top edge going up as a sky scraper off an attempted pull and Jadeja does all the hard work in getting forward from the long-on fence. Only to put it down eventually
41.1
Bhuvneshwar to Moeen Ali, no run, 129kph. Right on the money with a super in-scissor cutting back in off the turf. Not as high as anticipated and a swish. A lob on the thigh pad
8.6
Bhuvneshwar to Root, FOUR, Bhuvneshwar goes short and Root goes for the pull, dragged off the inside edge, no one at long leg to prevent the boundary
8.5
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, good length delivery outside off stump, Root gently taps it towards cover-point
8.4
Bhuvneshwar to Root, FOUR, uppish, but safe. Good length delivery outside off stump, Root lofts the drive, mid-off was wide and it goes to his right. Would have gone straight to hand had the fielder been there at a normal mid-off position
8.3
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, and he's beaten on the outside edge this time. Late outswing did the trick this time. No lack of bounce, the ball moved away late and beat Root on the cut
8.2
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, now the ball keeps low. Short of good length outside off stump, Root was looking to cut, the ball sneaks under his bat
8.1
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, Root is keen on pushing the bowler off his length by charging at him, Bhuvneshwar shortens his length, pushed to mid-on in the end
6.6
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, good length delivery outside off stump, ball keeps a touch low, Roy manages to keep it out
6.5
Bhuvneshwar to Root, 1 run, oh Root was cramped for room by this sharp incoming short of length delivery, he was on the back foot to cut, had to adjust late to send it down to third man
6.4
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, walks forward and drives towards cover-point
6.3
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, this is good bowling from Bhuvneshwar. Good length delivery just outside off stump, hits the seam and nips away late, foxing Root on the back foot defend, almost found the outside edge
6.2
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, Root goes back and defends into the off-side
6.1
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, 1 run, good length delivery angled in, Roy watchfully dabs to backward point
4.6
Bhuvneshwar to Root, 1 run, a direct-hit would have been close for Roy. Root walks towards the bowler and drives to the left of Kedar Jadhav at cover, the fielder was quick to get to the ball and had a shy at the striker's end, the throw was wide
4.5
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, Root makes it look like this length ball kept a bit low, but I think he should have been forward to meet this ball, played into the off-side
4.4
Bhuvneshwar to Root, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Root punches it to mid-off off the back foot
4.3
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, 1 run, now he gives the charge to the bowler, Bhuvneshwar takes pace off the ball on this shortish delivery, tucked towards mid-wicket for an easy run
4.2
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, much better from Roy, finds the spot closer to the middle of the bat as he goes for a full-fledged drive, hits it straight to Kohli at cover
4.1
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, Roy is not looking confident at all. A very tentative dab attempted at this away-going length ball and he chops it towards the man at slip
2.6
Bhuvneshwar to Hales, FOUR, oh that's driven nicely and Yuvraj Singh should have dived there. He's 35 and probably is a little tired after that knock. Full and outside off stump, Hales drives to the left of mid-off, was a little close to Yuvraj and he could have got a hand with a dive
2.5
Bhuvneshwar to Hales, 2 runs, and third man comes into play straightaway. This could have been a boundary had the fielder been inside the ring. Late away movement finds the thick edge of Hales' bat, goes past the lone slip fielder, Bumrah dives to his left and saves two
2.4
Bhuvneshwar to Hales, no run, good length delivery outside off stump, Hales defends into the off-side
2.3
Bhuvneshwar to Hales, FOUR, edgedddd and over the man at short third man. Strange field set by Kohli. When the bowler is swinging the ball you cannot have a short third man as the edge tends to fly off the bat quickly and eludes the man at 45 most of the times. This was outside off stump, Hales went for the drive and got away with a thick edge
2.2
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, 1 run, good fielding by Kohli, releases the ball very quickly and it's a tight shy at the stumps. Roy plays this to the right of cover and takes a quick single
2.1
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, fullish and outside off stump, Roy drives gently towards cover
0.6
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, a maiden over, wow! Not sure how many have done that against Jason Roy to begin with! Normally a free-flowing player, so difficult to contain but that is what control and swing can do. Roy gave the charge in an attempt to unsettle the bowler's line, Bhuvneshwar drags his length back with the inswinger and cramps the batsman for room, hits the thigh pad and rolls back towards the bowler
0.5
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, now the outswinger comes. Good variation and he does it with good control as well. Roy comes on the front foot to defend as Bhuvneshwar bowls a length ball close to the off stick, the ball hits the bottom of the bat and rolls into the off-side
0.4
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, this is good bowling, not easy to keep Roy calm. Bhuvneshwar is concentrating on shaping it back into the right-hander, keeps it just outside off stump and Roy doesn't want to play at it
0.3
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, width on offer from Bhuvi and Roy wanted to throw his hands at it, got an under edge on the attempted cut shot, the ball rolls towards cover-point
0.2
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, hint of inswing on offer for Bhuvneshwar, but it was after the ball passed the batsman, Roy was just ball-watching on that occasion
0.1
Bhuvneshwar to Jason Roy, no run, Bhuvneshwar begins with a good length delivery outside off stump, ignored
