Jennings hits half-century to give England a good start

December 08, 2016 12:33

England 136-1 (38 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jadeja resumes proceedings after the lunch break. Root drives the first ball gently through the off-side for a single and Jennings picks one on the leg side before his partner takes one to get three runs from the first over of the session.

Ashwin comes back from the Meida End, for a new spell. He beats Jennings with one that drifts in before turning away sharply. The next ball goes on straight as Jennings offers no shot and is lucky that it misses the stumps by a few inches.

Root gets the first boundary of the session as he plays a nice drive through the covers, timing it to perfection as Jadeja over pitches.

Ashwin and Jadeja would be looking to stop the flow of runs and create some pressure, especially on Jennings, who adopted a positive approach in the morning session.
