England 89-4 (24.4 ovs) vs India 107 | Scorecard

Root has not looked so confident so far as he plays and misses outside the off-stump against Shami. But the next ball is on the pads as Root clips it through square leg for a four and then takes a single to deep square leg.

Another good over from Pandya as Root is beaten again outside the off-stump as he struggles to 17 from 51 balls.

Shami gives Bairstow some width as the right-hander steers it to thirdman for two runs and picks one off the next ball.

Root is struggling outside the off-stump but Shami gifts him a length ball on the stumps which the England captain clips through midwicket for two runs.

Shami then gets the ball to jag in sharply which also keeps low and Root is beaten all ends up to be trapped leg before wicket for 19.

That was a peach, full and swinging in sharply while also keeping a trifle low to strike Root plumb in front of the stumps.
