England 92-0 (24 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Off-spinner Jayant Yadav comes into the attack. Jennings looking quite confident now as he sweeps the second ball from the off-spinner fine on the leg side for two runs before he takes one and Cook picks anothe run. Jayant gets the last ball to spin and turn as Jennings is beaten as he looks to drive.

Ashwin bowls it on the pads as Cook collects tow runs through the leg side for two runs and then drives the last ball through the off-side for two more runs.

In his next over, Jayant again gets one to turn sharply as Jennings is beaten again, he has already looked more threatening in his two overs than Ashwin has been in his seven overs.

Ashwin is again guilty as he bowls a half volley on the pads which Cook flicks through midwicket for a four. The next ball is again pitched right up and this time Cook drives it inside out perfectly in the gap through the covers for another four.

The England captain looks to defend on the leg side but gets a leading edge which goes past Cheteshwar Pujara at silly point, who barely had time to react.

A fifty on debut for Jennings, who again paddles Ashwin fine on the leg side for two runs to bring up the landmark from 89 balls.
