India vs England: 5th Test, Day 2 - 5 talking points

#4 Moeen Ali falls to bouncer trap

Moeen Ali was 4 shy of 150

Moeen Ali was England's best batsman in this innings, making a fantastic hundred and forming superb partnerships with Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow.

He has had his share of problems against the short ball and Kohli tried to work him over with that weakness in mind. He had a fielder half way between the rope and inner circle since Ali was mistiming his pulls and the ball was travelling at catchable height to that area.

Umesh Yadav resorted to continuously bouncing the set batsman and after three balls Ali, who had lost his patience by then, took on the bouncer and hit straight to the fielder Kohli had placed. Despite his terrific hundred, the England camp would be unhappy with his poor decision making.
