    "editor1": "<p><strong>Southampton, Aug 30 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> - Indian pacers wrecked England&#39;s top order, taking four quick wickets to reduce the hosts to 57\/4 at lunch on the opening day of the penultimate Test of the five-match rubber at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ben Stokes (12 batting) and Jos Buttler (13 batting) survived a few scary moments before heading back undivided at the break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For India, Jasprit Bumrah (2\/21), Ishant Sharma (1\/7) and Hardik Pandya (1\/16) were among the wickets even as Mohammed Shami, coming in as the second change bowler, constantly kept asking questions to the vulnerable English pair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Electing to bat on a track with a tinge of live grass, England&#39;s opening woes continued to haunt them as Keaton Jennings was trapped plumb in front by an excellent incoming delivery from Bumrah, for a duck in the third over of the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>One over later, Bumrah almost packed back English skipper Joe Root(4) when he was on two, before the Decision Review System (DRS) came to the latter&#39;s rescue. Root was trapped plumb in front but television replays showed the bowler overstepping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The England captain, however, failed to take advantage of the reprieve as Ishant swung it big into the England captain to trap him lbw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reduced to 15\/2, England&#39;s hopes were pinned on former skipper Alastair Cook (17) and Jonny Bairstow (6), playing as a specialist batsman after injuring his finger.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But Bumrah nipped any such ambitions in the bud with the scalp of Bairstow, caught behind by Rishabh Pant in the 13th over before first-change bowler Hardik ended Cook&#39;s 55-ball resistance, thanks to a brilliant low catch at third slip by Virat Kohli.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India could have had Buttler too, but Pant missed a tough one. Together with Stokes, Buttler managed to see off the initial scare from the Indian pace attack before heading for lunch undivided.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: England 57\/4 (Alastair Cook 17, Jos Buttler 13 batting; Jasprit Bumrah 2\/21, Ishant Sharma 1\/7) vs India.<\/p>\r\n",
