Jadeja keeps Brook glued to one end, with some tight stump to stump bowling. Six dot balls in a row makes it the first maiden over of the innings, the 24th of England's innings.
In the next over, Root misses the sweep off Axar but is struck on the pads. There is a shout for leg before which is turned and Rohit decides against the review.
Interestingly, the ball tracker shows that the ball struck in line and was going on to strike the stumps as Root, on 16, has a lucky escape.
Root hits the next in the gap at covers for two runs followed by a single.
Brook steps down the track but misses the flick as another confident shout for LBW is turned down.
In the next over, Brook takes a single off Jadeja on the off-side -- his first run after nine straight dots.
