One-off Test: India Have Executed Basics Better To Dominate England, Says Mark Butcher
Mark Butcher: Former England batter Mark Butcher has lauded India’s absolute dominance in the ongoing one-off Test match at Lord’s, adding that the visitors had completely out-bowled England by executing the basics of the game much better.
Harmanpreet Kaur-led India now need to pick just four wickets on the final day of the first-ever women’s Test at Lord’s to complete a famous victory and Butcher did not mince words about the gulf in performance between the two bowling units.
"India have been dominant, pretty much from the off. I think the dye was cast from the first session of the Test when England won the toss and bowled first. There was a bit of assistance for the seamers on that day and fluffed their lines - they couldn't hold to a line and length and India got off to an absolute flier.
