England 192-2 (59 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jennings takes a single off Ashwin's last ball to take his score into the 90s. He survives a close shout for LBW in the off-spinner's next over as the Indians decide against the DRS with the ball looking down the leg side.

Moeen gets a lifeline off Umesh as Kohli is unable to hold on to a tough chance at third slip, diving full length to his left as it goes for a boundary. Two balls later, he plays a nice through the covers for a couple and keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

Ashwin, who has taken one for 55 in 19 overs, gets a break with around 20 minutes left for tea as Jayant comes on from the Pavilion End as he starts his new spell with a maiden to Moeen, the first of the session.

Another change as Bhuvneshwar comes on from the other end. A couple of singles to Jennings, who takes his score to 96 and just a hit away from a century in his debut innings in Tests.

He brings up his century in some style as he reverse sweeps Jayant through thirdman for a four. The left-hander brought up his landmark from 186 balls, having hit 12 fours.
