LUCKNOW: Rohit Sharma’s 87 (101b, 10x4, 3x6) formed the spine of India’s 229/9 batting first against England on a tricky surface here against England. The total appeared above-par for this two-paced pitch but the captain will have made a key observation regarding his batting unit along the way: they remain fallible to dot-ball pressure.
The total ultimately proved more than enough as the Men in Blue romped home by 100 runs on a tricky track. Having aced five chases, the batters may have been itching for a different sort of challenges.
