England 102-2 (16 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Spin from both ends as Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, to bowl the 16th over.

Root hits the first ball down to long-on for a single before Duckett shuffles across but misses the paddle shot. The umpire rules it a wide but the bowler is not impressed.

Jadeja makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of the well-set Duckett in his first over.

The left-hander doesn't get enough power on his slog sweep to hit it straight towards Pandya at long-on to perish after a good innings of 65 from 56 balls, with 10 fours.
