India 49-2 (17 ovs); Target to win: 301 | Scorecard

Vijay sweeps Moeen but gets a top edge which goes over short fine leg for a single. He comes down the track to the last ball of the over and goes for another big hit down the ground but misses and is lucky that the ball hit his pads.

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid comes into the attack. He bowls an unplayable delivery, turn and bounce, as Vijay is beaten trying to drive it through the off-side.

Rashid strikes in his next over with the wicket of Pujara, who is trapped leg before wicket for 18. The right-hander went back to a full delivery to defend but missed and was struck right in front of the stumps. He doesn't take the DRS and makes his way back to the pavilion and the Indian dressing room including all viewers on TV are shocked as replays show the ball pitched outside the leg stump.

Infact, Pujara's partner Vijay did him no favours by turning away when the umpire ruled him out. He was the best judge from the other end, but Vijay thought it was gone and he didn't suggest otherwise while Pujara was walking back.

England have a slight opening as India are reduced to 49 for two in 17 overs.
