Cardiff: There was little run capital in hand. It was with that capital that India’s hope rose in the fast spell of Yashprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna with the new ball. But at the end of the day, Joe Root proved why he is one of the best of the current generation. He kept the entire England (England vs India) innings ahead. Despite missing out on 99 runs unbeaten, England returned to parity in the series by relying on his bat.

There were only 233 runs in hand. It was necessary to take wickets early on to defend this short run. India’s star fast bowler Jashpreet Bumrah did that. He sent Ben Duckett back to the dugout with the first ball of the innings. In the fourth over of the innings, Prasiddha Krishna sent back Jacob Bethall for four runs, and the Indian fans began to pump their chests with hope. In such a situation, Root started the work of repairing the innings with Harry Brook.
