IND A vs ENG XI, Live Cricket Score: Dhawan, Rayudu rebuild innings after losing Mandeep early

Mumbai: As Mahendra Singh Dhoni leads Indian team for one final time, fans are likely to rush to the stadium in Mumbai to watch their Captain Cool do the honours. After stepping down as India’s limited-overs captain recently, Dhoni will lead India A against England XI.

Over 30 | Score 141/2 | (Rayudu 66*, Yuvraj 2*)

After waiting for quite some time, England finally got their second breakthrough when Dhawan was caught behind off Jale Ball’s bowling. Rayudu is meanwhile batting confidently at the crease. He is now joined by comeback man Yuvraj Singh, who has a point to prove with the bat.
