Jadeja beats Jonny Bairstow with one turns as he looks to defend. In the next Ashwin also turns it big, as Bairstow is beaten and so is wicketkeeper Parthiv to give away four byes.

Root sweeps Jadeja fine on the leg side for a four before he slog sweeps the left-arm spinner through midwicket for the second boundary of the over.

Root and Bairstow looking to be positive and not missing any opportunities to score. Bairstow flicks Jadeja through midwicket for three runs before Root plays the sweep for a four.

In the next over, Root reverse sweeps Ashwin for a four through thirdman to bring up his half-century, from 75 balls. He then drives the next ball through the covers for another boundary as England reach 93 for three in 27 overs.
