World Cup, IND vs ENG: Rohit fights lone battle as batters fail in Lucknow

Rohit Sharma produced a special effort on a challenging pitch where the majority of Indian batters struggled, as the hosts were restricted to 229 for nine by England in their World Cup game here on Sunday. With India getting to bat first for the first time in the tournament, the batters got a good opportunity to set the target. It was, however, only Rohit (87 off 101) and Suryakumar Yadav (49 off 47) who found a way to bat on a two-paced wicket while the others perished trying to force the pace. The 91-run partnership between Rohit and K L Rahul (39 off 58) stabilised the innings after India found themselves at 40 for three in the 12th over. Rohit also added 33 valuable runs with Suryakumar but the skipper's fall led to a clutch of wickets. In his second game of the competition, Suryakumar then batted around the tail to get some much needed runs in the death overs. England were finally able to put together an effort worthy of defending champions, excelling both with the ball and in

World Cup 2023: Moeen Ali lists reason behind England lacklustre campaign

Over the last few years, England's success in the white ball formats was built on downright aggression, and all-rounder Moeen Ali on Tuesday admitted that the defending champions have not been able to produce that kind of cricket in this World Cup. England have lost three games out of four in this tournament and are in dire need to win the next matches to keep their hopes of reaching the semifinals alive. "We've been playing aggressive cricket since 2015 and done it quite well. I think the lack of that way of cricket has probably cost us a little bit in this tournament. "I think we need to play that way, but without slogging the ball, but just be that really aggressive side that we know we can be," said Ali in the pre-match press conference. However, Ali was candid enough to say that playing that brand of cricket is not always easy, as it required sustained aggression. "It's not always that easy. Yeah, most of the time you want the guys to score quickly and score for longer period
