England 236-5 (35 ovs) vs India 381-6 | Scorecard

India bring back Pandya, to replace Jadeja, who has finished his spell. Morgan his the first two balls to the thirdman region for two runs off each delivery. He then comes down the track and deposits the fifth ball over long-on for a six.

However, Ashwin continues to chip away at the wickets from the other end to thwart England's hopes. This time he gets the dangerman Buttler out stumped for 10 as England slip further to 206 for five, in the 32nd over.

Buttler came down the track as Ashwin foxed him with one down the leg side which Dhoni collects easily and whips off the bails.

Despite the wicket, Morgan won't hold back as he slog sweeps Ashwin over midwicket for a six.

Part-timer spinner Kedar Jadhav called into the attack from the other end. He bowls a wide delivery which Moeen drives through the covers for a four as England get eight runs from the over.

Moeen gets a lifeline as Dhoni fails to collect the ball with the left-hander struggling to make his crease as he attempts a quick second run to Bhuvneshwar at fine leg.

Jadhav bowling with a round action, releasing it way behind the bowling crease from virtually behind the umpire. Moeen gets the boundary for the over as he slog sweeps through midwicket for a four.

England are 236 for five in 35 overs, with another 146 needed from 15 overs for victory at nearly 10 runs per over.
