India 141-3 (27 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Willey comes into the attack, replacing Stokes, who bowled four overs for 24 runs.

The first ball is pitched up as Yuvraj flicks it stylishly through midwicket for a four before he takes a single to raise the 100-run stand for the fourth wicket, from 118 balls.

Dhoni punches the fourth ball down the ground, getting enough to beat the man at mid-off for the second four of the over to take India to 132 for three in 25 overs at the halfway stage.

The pitch looks an absolute beauty and India would do well to post a total well in excess of 300. They would also do well to consider the dew that would hamper their bowlers in the second half.

Moeen bowling a good spell as he bowls four dot balls to Yuvraj, who then gets a single to mid-on and Dhoni takes one to make it just two runs from the over.

Willey again errs with his length, dropping short as Yuvraj pulls it over midwicket for a four and then takes one to take his score into the 80s.
