India 95-1 (30 ovs) vs England 537 | Scorecard


Moeen bowling a very good line to Pujara, just outside the off-stump, who pads up to the first two deliveries before the visitors go up in appeal for the second one. That has forced Pujara to change tactics and start playing with the bat more as he manages to see off the over.

Broad looking to bowl it full and make the batsmen play more often than not. Vijay flicks the second ball through midwicket for a single and Pujara clips the next ball which comes in through the same region with much better timing for a four.

Vijay sweeps a full toss from Moeen to deep square leg for a single after Pujara turns down the call for the second run. Pujara uses his feet against Moeen and hits it towards midwicket for another run.

Pujara is looking quite positive as he again chips down the track to Moeen and flicks him through midwicke for a four. Pujara is off to 14 from 16 balls, having hit three fours already.

Pujara is off and running as he takes full toll of every loose delivery on offer. Moeen drops short as Pujara goes back and cuts it past point for a four.

Pujara has been quite superb with his footwork as he once again gives Pujara the charge and wristly flicks Moeen through midwicket for the second four of the over.

Moeen switches to round the wicket as Pujara clips the last ball to deep square for two runs.

India have reached 95 for one in 30 overs with Pujara racing to 24 from 22 balls, while Vijay is batting on 28 from 86 balls.
