Ishant's double strike puts India on top

Eng 154-3 (57 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard

Ishant is in the middle of a really good spell. He gets another edge of Ballance but it flies past the slip cordon for a four which takes his score to 67.

Jadeja continues with his role to hold one end up as India's pacers attack from the other end. Bell flicks him for a four through the leg side but Jadeja has only conceded 22 runs from 14 overs.

Ballance nudges Ishant fine on the leg side for a four before the pacer gets revenge. Ballance plays all over a full delivery which goes straight and is struck on the pads right in front of the stumps to be trapped leg before wicket after a good innings of 71 from 167 balls, having hit nine fours.

Ishant's double strike has reduced to 154 for three in the 56th over with two new batsmen out in the middle as Joe Root walks out to join Ian Bell.

With Ishant getting the ball to move, Dhoni decides to replace Jadeja with Bhuvneshwar. He gets the first ball to swing away as Bell plays away from the body driving it to the covers and defends the next as Kumar starts his new spell with a maiden.
