July 19, 2014  16:13
Eng 266-7 (95 ovs) vs Ind 295 | Scorecard

Shami once again struggles with his control. A wide half-volley is despatched through the covers for a boundary by Prior who then steals a quick single to mid-on as Ishant misses with the direct hit.

Shami then bowls one on the pads which Plunkett drives through midwicket for a four to take England past the 250-run mark.

Plunkett on fire as he hammers Ishant for back to back boundaries. The first is a cracking cover drive before he pulls a short ball over midwicket to take his score to 25.

Prior punches a full delivery from Shami down the ground past mid-on for another boundary as India's pacers continue to leak runs.

But Shami brings India relief with the wicket of Prior, who top edges the pull shot and is caught by Dhawan, who runs back from first slip and makes good ground to complete the catch.

Prior walks back after scoring as he put on a brisk partnership of 51 runs from 12.2 overs for the seventh wicket with Plunkett as England inched closer to India's first innings score.

At last, Shami gets a wicket in his 18th over and he has looked a bit more aggressive this morning and is rewarded aptly.
