Scorecard

Captain Angelo Mathews comes into the attack in place of Pradeep, who had a short first spell of three overs for seven runs with the new ball.

Rohit offers no shot and is struck on the pads by an incoming delivery but gets the benefit of doubt. That was mighty close!

However, he drives the next ball through the off-side for a four before he keeps strike with a single from the next ball.

Rohit plays across the line but misses and is caught plumb in front of the stumps. The umpire upholds the LBW appeal but wants to check the front foot with the TV umpire. Replays shows that Prasad had crossed the front crease by a long way and it is ruled a no-ball giving Rohit a much-needed lifeline.

The next ball is again similar but this time Rohit plays it straight down the pitch with utmost caution.

However, Rohit fails to make most of his lifeline as Mathews traps him leg before wicket with another incoming delivery.

Rohit walks back for nine as India slip to 28 for two after 10 overs.
