Gambhir, Rahane give India flying start

- Scorecard

India 38-0 (5 overs) vs England 325-4

Finn drifts on the pads and Gambhir clips it behind square on the leg side as the ball flies to the ropes for a boundary. The left-hander then plays a tentative shot without any footwork outside the off-stump but gets an inside edge which goes past the stumps and the wicketkeeper for another boundary.

Gambhir then steers it between the slips and gully fielder to make it three fours in a row after the fielder was taken out from that area.

The last ball is again on the pads and Rahane glances it fine for the fourth boundary of the over.

India scored 17 runs in that over to race to 38 after five overs.
