England 211-3 (62 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bairstow growing in confidence as he plays another beautiful drive through the covers off Shami for a four.

The England duo pick up easy four singles off Pandya in the next over as the scoreboard keeps ticking at a good rate.

Bairstow taking a few chances as he lashes at a wide short ball which flies wide off the slips for a four.

Another couple of singles off Pandya's eighth over as England reach 195 for three in 60 overs.

Shami's full delivery catches Root on the crease as he looks to flick it across the line but the slight inside edges saves him.

In the next over, Root steers Pandya to thirdman to bring up England's 200, in the 62nd over.

Bairstow then punches a half-volley from Pandya straight down the ground, past mid-on for a four, to bring up his half-century from 72 balls.

The next ball is slightly short as Bairstow punches it through the covers for another boundary.

The runs are flowing at a good rate after tea as Bairstow turns the next ball on the leg side and sprints across for two runs and keeps strike with a single from the last ball, as 12 comes from the over.

England have scored 48 runs in eight overs in the post-tea session to take control of the proceedings.
