Ind 271-5 (63 ovs) & 224 vs Eng 247 | Scorecard

The leg side line to the left-handers not working for England. The pacers have gone wayward quite often. Tongue bowls it way down the leg side to Jadeja as wicketkeeper Smith is unable to get to it, and concede four byes.

Part-time off-spinner Joe Root into the attack. He makes a tidy start with maiden over to left-hander Jaiswal, who apart from the nervous 90s has been quite impressive with his shot selection.

Tongue continues as Jadeja pushes the second ball past point for a single and Jaiswal takes two off the last ball to deep point.
