England 162-3 (53 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
All-rounder Pandya comes back, replacing Umesh, who has struggled so far with the ball.
Root plays a loose shot, flirting with a wide outswinger and is beaten before he manages to play out a maiden over.
Ashwin nearly bowls a maiden to Bairstow before the right-hander drives the last ball through the covers for two runs.
Pandya produces the edge as Bairstow chases a wide delivery but it goes in the gap through the vacant gully region for a boundary.
In the next over, Root hits Ashwin through the off-side for two runs to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket.
