With Patel and Trott failing to make an impact, Cook has handed the ball to his two leading bowlers - Anderson and Broad.

The100-run partnership for the third wicket is brought up in Anderson's over. However, the bowler ensures England the breakthrough they so desperately sought having Parthiv caught behind.

Parthiv is unfortunate to be dismissed for 95, five short of what would have been a deserving hundred. His 107-ball knock was inclusive of a dozen boundaries.

It is Anderson's 212th ODI wicket.

The visitors have made 179 for two after 35 overs.

16:46

India 146 for two after 30 overs.

16:20

Broad almost has a third wicket but Parthiv's shot lands just short of Eoin Morgan at deep midwicket. Maybe the fielder didn't try hard enough.

India 104 for two after 22 overs.

Three balls later Parthiv helps himself to a sixth boundary, through square leg on this occasion. The Indian openers are frustrating the home team with their resolve and controlled aggression.

They are making Alastair Cook regret his decision of putting India in after winning the toss.
