Virat Kohli viral celebration
Reflexes
- Ben Stokes gets two lives
- Shardul Thakur came out with a score of 25
- Important association with Bairstow
The fifth and final Test match between India and England at Edgbaston continues to be an exciting one. While the Indian team dominated England on the second day, England retaliated on the third day. Jonny Bairstow and captain Ben Stokes handled the innings together and created a crucial 66-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Both did not let themselves be dominated by the Indian bowling and scored quickly.
Although Stokes got two lives from the Indian outfielders, but Shardul Thakur and Jasprit Bumrah together did not give him a third chance and showed him the way to the pavilion with a score of 25. Former captain Virat Kohli looked very happy after taking Stokes out. He celebrated Stokes’ wicket in tremendous fashion by crashing to the ground.
Stokes has two lives
Actually, Ben Stokes got the life first with a score of 18. Stokes tried to play an aerial shot off Shami’s first ball of the 36 late in the inning. But the ball didn’t hit the bat properly and got stuck in the air. At that moment the ball went straight into the hands of Shardul Thakur but he was unable to catch it. Following this, Stokes also got the life at 38. This time, Shardul himself was bowling and on the third ball from him, Bumrah dropped a simple catch down the middle. However, India did not suffer much from this and on the next ball Stokes once again played a shot towards Bumrah and this time the Indian captain made no mistake and made a difficult catch.
Virat collides with Bairstow
Virat may not be able to show anything amazing with the bat, but on the field he is full of enthusiasm and is seen supporting the players. In this episode, there was also a heated argument between Virat and Jonny Bairstow during England’s innings, which later ended after Stokes and the referee intervened.
Bairstow takes over England
England may have lost six wickets in their opening innings, but Jonny Bairstow remains in the crease on his side. Bairstow had scored 91 runs on 113 balls through lunch on the third day and was seeking a partnership with Sam Billings.
