- Scorecard

England 265-7 (123 ovs) vs India

Graeme Swann makes his intentions clear as he lofts Ojha over midwicket for a boundary, his third to take his score to 12 from 22 balls.

Some respite for the fans at the stadium after some paintful batting since the start of play.

Root seems to have lost his concentration for once as he reverse sweeps Ashwin but hits it straight into Dhoni's pads. He is looking quite solid on 61, having hit just 3 boundaries in 183 balls so far.

As Swann looks to attack Dhoni replaces Ojha with Jadeja, hoping to keep things tight. Dhoni adopting T20 tactics in a bid to try and frustrate England's batsmen.
