 Eng 294-7 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Shami to bowl the final over of the innings. James Tredwell takes a single from the first ball before Stokes is beaten off the next as he plays all over a yorker.

Stokes gets the next one right as he walks across and scoops a low full toss fine on the leg side for a four.

Shami then bowls a short ball which Stokes mishits it to long-on for one and Tredwell does the same.

The last ball is a full toss which Stokes hits on the leg side but Dhawan at midwicket gets an awkward and the ball goes past him for a four.

Stokes finishes unbeaten on a quickfire innings of 33 from 23 balls, while Tredwell made eight from five balls.

England finish on a huge 294 for seven in their 50 overs, having scored 133 runs from the last 15 overs.

Buttler provided the boost with his blazing knock of 49 from 40 balls, while Root guided the innings with a splendid 113 from 108 balls.
