Shami tries the short ball but Malan pulls it behind square for a four and then takes one to point.
The last ball is overpitched as Bairstow drives it through the covers for another boundary to bring up England's 50, in the 17th over.
Malan survives a leg before shout against Ashwin as the ball pitches outside the line of leg stump.
Ishant Sharma replaces Shami and he starts his first spell in the second innings with a no-ball.
The next ball comes in sharply as Bairstow gets a thick inside edge on to his pads for a single.
Ishant then produces a beauty, extra bounce and away movement as Malan is beaten all ends up. The next ball is even better as Malan plays and misses again.
Ishant finally produces the edge with the last ball of the over as Malan has a poke. Shikhar Dhawan takes a low catch a first slip which is referred upstairs and the TV umpire rules that the ball touched the ground before it was taken and Malan survives.
In the next over, Bairstow sweeps Ashwin but hits it straight into the body of Vijay at short leg. The next ball is short as the right-hander slaps it through the covers for a four.
He is caught in two minds off the last ball as he initially decides to sweep Ashwin but then somehow blocks it.
