Electing to bat on a bouncy Gabba pitch, India's top five batsmen were
back in the dressing room by the 19th over with just 67 on board and
they never recovered from there to be all out in just 39.3 overs. Binny,
(44 off 55 balls, 3x4, 2x6) was the lone Indian batsman to show some
resilience amid some poor shot selection by the rest of the line-up.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (34) and Binny made a valiant effort to revive the innings with a sixth wicket stand of 70 runs but once they were out, the tailenders could do little. Opener Ajinkya Rahana was the only top-order batsman who made a substantial contribution of 33.
For England whose bowlers bowled a stifling line and length with good use of bouncers, Finn took five wickets for 3 runs and he got ample support from Anderson who grabbed four Indian batsmen for 18 runs. Moeen Ali got the remaining one wicket.
Due to India's early dismissal, England started their chase and were placed at 41 for one after six overs at the scheduled break of play, with Ian Bell and James Taylor were the unbeaten batsmen at 28 and 3 respectively.
Binny was the wicket-taker so far having opened the bowling, with Moeen Ali (8) caught at mid-off in the third over.
