Eng 186-4 (35 ovs) vs India 224 | Scorecard

India have chipped away at the wickets after lunch, picking four wickets for 66 runs in 17 overs.

England seemed to be running away to a huge total after the openers put on 92 in 77 balls but India have bounced back with a spirited display in the second session.

Siraj has taken two wickets, while Akash Deep and Prasidh have bagged one wicket apiece.

Brook uses his feet to Akash Deep as he gets it off the inside edge to square leg for one.

Left-hander Jacob Bethell is beaten first ball off a full delivery which goes past the edge. He then guides the fifth ball with soft hands towards the slips followed by a leave.

Siraj in midst of a good spell. Brook hasn't looked convincing so far. This time he pushes away from the body as it goes off the outside half past the slips for a four.

Finally, a shot off the middle as Brook plays a commanding pull shot off Siraj for a boundary.

He takes one on the leg side before Bethell clips the last ball off his pads for a single to get off the mark.
