India 22-2 (3 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer David Willey to bowl the second over. Dhawan cuts the second ball but can't beat the fielder on the off-side but he gets the next two balls perfectly in the gap through the covers for back to back fours.

Willey gets a little bit swing but his length is a touch fuller and Dhawan doesn't need a second invitation to drive those through the off-side.

Willey bowls another outswinger as Dhawan looks for the drive again but this time he is beaten before he confidently defends the last ball of the over.

Woakes strikes with the first ball of the second over. Rahul is squared up as he looks to defend one which moves away but gets an edge which is nicely taken by the second slip fielder.

Rahul is dismissed for five for his second successive failure in the series.

Captain Virat Kohli strides out to the middle as England look to try something different for the in-form right-hander by employing a 7-2 field with men packed on the off-side.

But nothing seems to bothering Kohli at the moment as he taps the first ball straight back past the bowler for a boundary to get off the mark in smashing fashion. Two balls later he repeats the shot as Woakes again overpitches for another delightful boundary straight down the ground. This is already looking ominous for England with Kohli getting the middle of the bat right from the start.

But Woakes stuns the crowd into complete silence with the BIG BIG wicket of Kohli, who goes after a wide full delivery but gets an edge as Stokes brilliant catch to his left at second slip. A strange shot from Kohli who intially thought it was a yorker and tries to defend but ends up playing a nothing shot to get the edge.

Dangerman Kohli makes his way back for just eight to leave India in trouble at 22 for two in three overs.

What a dramatic over by Woakes  W 4 . 4 . W
