Right, the players are back on the field. Anderson has the ball and Pant is on strike. Hopefully, no more rain delays... for a while at least. Here we go!
This has turned out to be a fine partnership (41 runs) between KL Rahul (75*) and Ravindra Jadeja (24*) for the 6th wicket. They've picked the right balls to attack and defended with steely resolve.
We're ready for the post-lunch session! KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have done well so far but the job isn't done. Another crucial passage of play coming up. Here we go!
DROPPED! KL Rahul gets another reprieve! James Anderson the bowler again and this time it is Joe Root who drops the catch at first slip. It came at a good height and should've been taken.
WICKET! Anderson finally gets Rahul. After two dropped catches, this time Buttler makes no mistake. The end of a phenomenal knock by Rahul (84 off 214), he played the anchor brilliantly and guided India to the lead.
WICKET! Robinson returns to the attack, gets hit for two fours, but gets the key wicket of Jadeja. The left-hander walks back for a brilliant 56 off 86. India lead by 49 runs.
DROPPED! Anderson saw two catches dropped in the slips off his bowling and now he drops one running back from mid-on. Shami gets a reprieve. England's catching continues to be poor.
WICKET! The second new ball is taken and Robinson gets his fourth. Shami did well to score 13 off 20 but is clean bowled. India lead by 62 runs with one wicket in hand.
#Fencing is one of the ever-present events at Olympics but an Indian featured for a first time ever in 2021. Bhavani Devi created history even before stepping on piste.
Imagine being Satwik & Chirag. They won 2 out of 3 matches, losing only against the world's best. They defeated the pair that would go on to win 🥇 & incredibly, their campaign was over in group stage.
