India 148-3 (47 ovs) & 471 vs Eng 465 | Scorecard
Stokes errs with his length, bowling it right in the slot -- full and wide as Rahul plays a beautiful drive through the covers for a boundary.
He has played some delightful strokes especially through the off-side in this innings.
Stokes then gets one to jump off length as Rahul is hit on the arm before he clips the next off his pads for a single and Pant does the same last ball.
Spinner Bashir is back into the attack. Will Pant go after the spinner or will he continue this cautious approach till lunch?
Pant being watchful as he defends the first two balls and then takes a leg bye after missing the flick and Rahul takes one to deep point.
A good short ball from Stokes which swings into Rahul as he misses the pull and is hit on the body.
He looks in some pain after that blow as he takes some moments to gather himself at the change of ends.
