Will England strike back after losing the first ODI? Join our cricket writers to find out
Bell, who went at seven in her first spell, replaces Dean, and might find it easier to fix on a line now the swing has all but gone. And she starts well enough, probing outside off – this is much better – though Deol does ease two to third man, after which the players are told that DRS is down again. Bell’s final delivery is a decent one too, Deol looking to pull and missing.
“A quick freeze-frame shows that it’s a fiver for a regular ice-cream with a flake,” tweets @Mysteron_Voice. “Is that taking the mick, or am I getting old...” I daresay it’s both, but I had a conversation on that theme with a vendor at Lord’s, not so much about the expense, though it was intense, but about the miserly quantity allowed.After a decent little spell from England, India have got away again, Harmanpreet using Ecclestone’s extra pace to eases four to the backward point fence – an area that’s becoming increasingly well-trodden against the spinners. A wide and a single follow then Deol sweeps, just about, and earns two to finest leg.
