India 417-7 (132 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


Rashid finally gets a well-deserved break after a marathon 28-over fourth spell in which he took two wickets for 88 runs.

He is replaced by pacer James Anderson from the Pavilion End as England finally take the second new ball, after a long wait of 129.2 overs.

Captain Cook brings in the second slip for Jayant (8) and the right-hander obliges edging it straight to Stokes, but he puts down a straightforward chance.

Chris Woakes comes on from the other end. Kohli plays a delightful straight drive for a four, punching a full delivery off his front foot, reminding many of Mumbai's batting great Sachin Tendulkar.

England take another poor DRS review after an appeal for caught behind for Jayant off Anderson is turned down. Infact, even some of the England players also didn't seem convincing when they decided to take the review. So England have lose both their reviews with another 49 overs left before they get two fresh ones.

Kohli plays a stylish flick off Anderson in the gap between fine leg and deep square leg for a wonderful boundary to raise the 50-run stand for the eighth wicket, from 82 balls.

Kohli decides to cut loose as he upper cuts a short ball from Anderson for a single to thirdman.
