Currently, England are reeling at 47/5 after 13 overs. Bumrah has been the leading wicket taker till now with 4 wickets and Mohammed Shami has picked up one.
Rohit at the toss added that,”Shami, Bumrah — those guys can swing the ball. It’s important to take wickets upfront and put brakes on the scoring. We understand the importance of playing overseas, we want to do well outside India. Today is no different. We have five batters, two all-rounders. Kohli is not playing this game, Shreyas will bat at 3,” he added.
