England 245-5 (42 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jadhav continues as Stokes plays back and looks to swing it but is hit on the pads as the ball stays low and narrowly misses the stumps, beating even Dhoni for two leg byes.

Jadhav has bowling with a strange side arm action, not wanting to give the batsmen any flight to get under the ball. He has done well so far, giving away just 13 runs in three overs.

Bumrah comes back and starts his new spell with a high full toss which is cut to thirdman for a single by Stokes. The umpire calls it a no-ball for height giving England a free hit.

Bumrah bowls another full toss as he misses the yorker yet again but Root hits it down to long-off for just a single.

Bumrah gets the key wicket of Root, who tries to loft it down the ground but Pandya comes up with a stunning catch at long-on, timing his jump to perfection and taking it high on his right, just inside the boundary ropes.

Root walks back after a fine innings of 78, having hit four fours and a six in his 95-ball knock.
