England 350-6 (80 ovs) vs India 107 | Scorecard
The young Kuldeep struggling at the moment. He gifts new batsman Sam Curran a full toss which he despatches through midwicket for a four. Two balls later, he bowls another full toss which Curran again hits through the same region for the same result, leaving captain Kohli with more frustration.
A single to Woakes takes his score to 107, the same total which India posted in their first innings. Curran picks another single a few balls later before Woakes plays a powerful shot for a boundary through square leg.
Kuldeep dishing out a lot of freebies. Another full toss to Curran, who whips it through midwicket for his third four against the left-arm spinner in the space of seven balls.
He then produces a beauty to beat Curran, the googly turning big with some extra bounce before the left-hander takes a single on the leg side.
Pandya starts his new over with a poor delivery, short and wide, which is crashed square on the off-side for a four as Curran also looks keen to continue his good form with the bat.
Kuldeep is taken off after two poor overs as he makes way for Ashwin. He starts his new spell with a four as Woakes slaps a short ball through the covers for a four before he confidently defends the rest of the over.
England are 350 for six in 80 overs, with Woakes on 116 and Curran quickly racing to 19 with four fours.
