England 133-2 (32 ovs) vs India 471 | Scorecard

Siraj is back into the attack. Pope pushes the first ball into the off-side for a single before Root is beaten next ball as he again plays away from the body.

Root is looking quite unsure with his footwork. He is beaten two balls in a row off the last two balls of the over, poking away from the body with moving his foot.

Pope plays the cut shot off Bumrah but the dive from Jadeja denies him the boundary. Root gets off the mark from the 10th ball faced as he clips Bumrah off his pads to fine leg for one.

Pope gets a lifeline as Jaiswal puts down an easy catch at third slip. The England No 3 got the edge trying to steer Bumrah to thirdman but the catch was grassed by Jaiswal diving to his right.

Siraj lets Root break the shackles with a poor delivery as he flicks the overpitched delivery on the stumps through square leg for his first four.

The next ball is just outside the off-stump as Root attempts to drive but is beaten.

He slaps the next ball square on the off-side but Jadeja saves the boundary with a diving stop to his left.
