Chasing 230, the England top order were greeted with some terrific bowling by the Indian pace attack. Jasprit Bumrah removed Dawid Malan and Joe Root in the 5th over. Mohammed Shami then came in and bowled Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow in the 8th and 10th over. Captain Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali tried to make sure England were still in the chase, but Kuldeep Yadav bowled a dream delivery to dismiss the captain. 

In his first over, Kuldeep wasn’t getting much turn off the pitch. Although he gave only 2 runs in his first over, Moeen played him with ease. The first ball of his 2nds over, he tossed the ball outside off and got 7.2 degrees of turn, getting the ball between Buttler’s bat and body and bowling him. Buttler went to play the ball towards mid-off, but ended out getting bowled for only 10 runs.
