Eng started badly as left armers Nehra and Pathan ripped through the top order and soon Eng found themselves hanging by a thread at a score of 5/48.
To Eng& #39;s relief though, Capt. @MichaelVaughan was still batting and along with Giles, he stitched a 92 run stand.

However, at the score of 154, Giles was first caught brilliantly by Bhajji of his own bowling and to put the final nail on the coffin. @DineshKarthik involved with Bhajji to create one of the best stumping dismissals https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three">
