- Scorecard

England 2nd inns: 8-0 (8 ovs)


Compton clips Sharma through midwicket for three runs and the pacer also oversteps the crease to give away a no-ball. Cook again plays out five dot balls to end the over. He is yet to get off the mark in 22 overs, he was out for one from 28 balls in the first innings which means he has just made one runs from 50 balls in this match so far.

Compton is also solid in defence and watchfully defends against Ojha for another maiden over.

Ojha's figures read three runs in three overs with two maidens, while Ishant has given four runs in three overs with the same number of maiden overs.

Cook off the mark with a single to the covers off Ishant, his first run after facing 27 deliveries.

Ashwin into the attack now. He starts with a short ball that Cook cuts straight to the point region and defends the rest of the over.

England are content to play out time as their total crawls to eight for no loss in eight overs. Cook is on 1 from 33 balls and Compton on six from 16 balls.
