Morgan helps England level series
Posted by Undercover 999 on Saturday, 22 December 2012
Eoin Morgan hit a six off the final ball as England squared the two-match Twenty20 series against India with a dramatic six-wicket victory in Mumbai. The hosts, asked to bat first, made the most of some wayward bowling to post 177-8 as Virat Kohli top-scored with a dashing 38. In reply, Michael Lumb scored 50 and Alex Hales 42 before Yuvraj Singh put the brakes on with 3-17. But captain Morgan (49 not out) and Jos Buttler (15 not out) led England home. It was England's highest successful r chase in Twenty20 internationals and scuppered India's hopes of usurping Sri Lanka at the top of the International Cricket Council rankings. Jade Dernbach made the breakthrough in the second over of the India innings when Ajinkya Rahane advanced down the pitch and sliced to debutant Joe Root, in for Danny Briggs, at third man. India had to wait until the fourth over for their first boundary when Kohli whipped through mid-wicket and cut through point off successive Dernbach deliveries.
