India 40-0 (13 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

First bowling change for England as seamer Josh Tongue replaces Woakes. He starts with a full toss but Rahul can't make most as he pushes it gently to mid-off.

Rahul misses the clip but the ball goes off his pads for a leg bye before he is beaten again trying to slash the pacer through point.

Tongue makes the mistake of bowling an overpitched delivery as Jaiswal plays a cracking straight drive past the non-striker for a four.

He connects with the cut shot but can't get it past the fielder at point.

Change of ends for Woakes as he takes over from Carse. The first ball is right in the slot, full and wide, as Rahul plays a handsome drive through the covers for a four.

He is happy to leave most of the deliveries wide of the stumps, not wanting to play away from the body.

Tongue gets the ball to swing quite a lot as the full delivery strikes Jaiswal on the pads, who is beaten all ends up.

There is a huge appeal for leg before wicket which is turned down before England take the review. It is a poor review as the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and the decision stays.

Jaiswal ends the over in grand style with another thumping straight drive past mid-off for a four to take his score to 27, with six fours.
