Ind 266-7 (87 ovs) vs Eng 319 | Scorecard

Broad gets one to rear off from length as it hits Kumar on the gloves and goes on the leg side for a single. Jadeja then hits the next one through midwicket for a couple and keeps the strike with a single from the last ball.

Jadeja looks eager to get after Anderson as he comes down the track to the pacer, makes room and slams a full delivery through the covers for a four. A single each to the two batsmen before Jadeja survives a huge appeal for LBW with a hint of inside edge on that occasion.

Kumar (2) edges the third delivery from Broad which goes through the hands of Root at gully for a single. That went quickly to him as he looked to standing a bit closer than normal and England could pay dearly for this lapse.

Broad bowls a quick bouncer to Jadeja which goes miles over his head and is called a wide for height. The next ball is pitched up and Jadeja lofts it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. Two balls later, the left-hander pulls a short ball off the front foot over midwicket for another four to race to 36 from 27 balls with the help of six fours.

India are scoring some quick runs against the new ball to reach 256 for seven in 86 overs to stretch their lead to 232 runs.

Kumar plays a lovely drive through the covers for a four before Anderson bowls a quick bouncer which the right-hander fends fine on the leg side for a couple. He clips the last ball through midwicket as it slows down near the ropes but the two batsmen run four.

India have hit 31 runs from the last four runs as India's lead continues to grow.
