India 69-3 (15 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

A break for Woakes, who bowled a superb first spell of three for 14 in five overs as he is replaced by Liam Plunkett.

Dhoni flicks the first ball through midwicket for a couple for his first runs after playing out two maiden overs from Woakes and then takes a single.

Yuvraj takes a big forward stride and drives an overpitched delivery from Plunkett through the covers for a four. Two balls later, he plays the straight drive to perfection for the second boundary of the over before he plays another cracking cover drive, which is half stopped for just a single to race to 27 from 24 balls.

Dhoni finally gets his first boundary, off the 23rd ball he faces, cutting a short ball from Ball over point for a four as India recover to 64 for three in 14 overs.

Dhoni plays a cheeky late cut, steering a wide delivery from Plunkett fine on the  off side for a four. The former India captain is shuffling a long way across the stumps to block the short balls from the England pacers.

India have recovered to 69 for three in 15 overs, with Dhoni on 15 from 31 balls and Yuvraj on 30 from 34 balls, with the duo having added 44 runs so far to rally the Indians after a horror start.
