India 319-6 (106 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


The onus will now be on Kohli, to firstly take India as close as possible to England's score, and also look for a sizeable lead once he manages to get some partnerships going with the lower order.

Ashwin has been a revelation with the bat in the series and he will need to produce another good innings.

Part-timer Root has struck again, for his second wicket in as many overs. This time Ashwin hits it straight into the hands of the fielder at short leg for a duck. Infact, Jennings at short leg did well to pouch a flick right off the middle of Ashwin's bat as India slip to 307 for six.

New batsman Ravindra Jadeja makes his intentions clear right at the start as he smashes the fourth ball he faces back over Root's head for a four.

It could have been worse for India but Rashid puts down a straightforward caught and bowled chance off Kohli (68 from 148 balls).

Kohli hit two fours in the over, sweeping Rashid and pulling a short ball to take his score to 72.
