November 09, 2016 14:46

England 222-3 (68 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Good news for India as Shami comes back on the field after going off in the second session after picking up some injury while bowling an over.

Moeen slog sweeps Ashwin but fails to time it properly for a single on the leg side and Root picks one to long-on for one.

Moeen turns Ashwin on the leg side as it goes right between the legs of Pujara at short leg.

Root sweeps the last ball of the over for two runs on the leg side to bring up his century from 154 balls.

A superb century from the right-hander, his third against India, to continue his amazing run of scores against them.
