ENGvIND: England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow likely to miss last two Tests

0

English wicketkeeper Johny Bairstow succumbed to an injury in his middle finger in the current test at Nottingham. It has been reported as a fracture from his X-ray. However, his present condition is unknown and it will be a huge loss for the side if it turns out to be a critical one.

Meanwhile, the Indian side is extending its lead as it crossed past 447 runs and the Indian skipper reached his 23rd ton. Kohli who scored 97 in first innings, made sure to complete a big ton in the second.

The match is really turning out in the favour of visitors who are yet to make an impact in the test series. Pujara also registered his first half-century in the series and this will, in turn, boost his confidence on his overseas stats.

England now needs over 521 runs for a record chase and all eyes will be on skipper Root if he can continue his purple patch of a form against India.

Jos Buttler took up the keeping duties yesterday sans Bairstow and an update from the England cricket board is expected to be out anytime in the due course of the match.
