England 253-7 (77 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Curran on strike against Ashwin and he does his job to perfection, keeping out the over from the off-spinner with utmost caution.

Shami continues to go past the edge as he beats Stokes, who pokes at a wide one. The next ball is on the stumps as Stokes clips it to fine leg for one.

Curran gets an edge off the last ball but it falls short of the fielder in the slips.

The wickets keep tumbling for England. This time Stokes gifts his wicket away, offering a simple return catch back to the bowler Ashwin off a leading edge.

Stokes walks back for 21 as England slip to 243 for seven after being well placed at 216 for three at one stage.

Wonderful spell of bowling from Ashwin on a Day 1 wicket in England as he picks up his third wicket, in his 19th over.

Adil Rashid comes forward to defend but the ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad and beats wicketkeeper Karthik for a bye.

Rashid gets a thick outside edge off Shami for a single on the off-side to get off the mark.

Curran also edges the next ball as it falls short of the slips who is unable to stop it cleanly to give away two runs followed by a single.

Rashid clips the fifth ball uppishly through square leg for two runs.

A beauty from Ashwin, plenty of spin and some sharp bounce, as Curran is drawn forward to defend but is beaten all ends up.

So much turn on offer for Ashwin. India will already regret not playing Kuldeep Yadav, who have been a handful on this wicket.

Curran turns the fourth ball on the leg side for two runs and takes one from the next as England go past the 250-run mark.
