While England
played an unchanged eleven, India made a couple of changes – Sandeep Patil and
Chetan Sharma made way for Mohinder Amarnath and Ashok Patel. On winning the
toss, David Gower, England’s skipper, inserted the hosts, whose openers –
Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Ravi Shastri – put on 188. The former, whose
111-ball innings included four boundaries and three sixes, scored 99. He was
trapped leg before wicket by Mike Gatting.
Dilip Vengsarkar, who faced 27 balls, scored 23. His innings included three boundaries. He was caught by Gower. Vic Marks broke the second-wicket partnership, which was worth 47. Shastri, the player of the match, scored 102. His 142-ball innings included half-a-dozen boundaries and (R)aVI. Gatting broke the eight-run stand.
The fourth-wicket pair failed to open its account. Yashpal Sharma, who scored four off as many balls, was trapped leg before wicket by Marks. Amarnath, who faced five balls, scored a run. He was unbeaten. Roger Binny, who faced three balls, scored a couple. Marks broke the three-run stand. Sunil Gavaskar, India's skipper, faced four balls, scoring six. He was unbeaten.
England conceded 15 extras. India scored 252 for the loss of six wickets off 49 overs. Neil Foster bowled five overs, conceding 26. He was wicketless, as was Richard Ellison, who bowled six overs, conceding 31.
Phil Edmonds and Norman Cowans bowled 10 wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded 47, the latter conceded 39. Gatting, who bowled 10 overs, conceded 49. He picked up a couple of wickets. Marks, who bowled eight overs, conceded 50. He picked up three scalps.
England’s target was revised to 241 off 46 overs, owing to bad light. Tim Robinson, who faced three balls, scoring a run. Manoj Prabhakar broke the three-run stand. Graeme Fowler, who faced 23 balls, scored 15. He was caught by Shastri. Binny broke the 47-run stand. Gower scored 21. His 30-ball innings included a couple of boundaries. He was caught by Prabhakar.
