England 67-1 (13 ovs) vs India 471 | Scorecard

Bumrah gets a break after an excellent first spell of 1/21 in five overs as Siraj comes back into the attack.

Pope pushes the second ball into the leg side for a quick single.

Siraj beats Duckett as the left-hander goes chasing after the length ball angled across. He plays and misses again trying to slash it square before taking a single off the last ball.

A much better over from Siraj after his poor first spell.

The two England batter have settled down nicely after surviving a testing spell from Bumrah early on.

Duckett pulls Prasidh through square leg for a single before Pope cuts the fifth ball but Bumrah messes up as the ball goes through his legs for a four.

Pope plays a superbly-timed cover drive for back to back boundaries off Prasidh.

India's fielding has gone a bit sloppy. Gill fumbles at mid-off to gift Duckett a single before Siraj bowls a quick bouncer as Pant leaps high to collect it.

Pope gets a thick leading edge on the off-side for one and Duckett is beaten looking to run it down to thirdman.
