England 2-1 (3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Jasprit Bumrah opens the bowling for India and he starts with a beauty, getting the first ball to seam away from left-hander Alastair Cook, who has a tame poke and is beaten.
The second one is well wide and Cook is happy to see it go through before he clips the third ball to fine leg for one to get England off the mark.
Keaten Jennings is also beaten first ball he faces from Bumrah, who gets one to slant across the left-hander.
Ishant Sharma to bowl the second over. He starts from round the wicket and his first delivery is a wide one as Cook leaves it easily but the next one is closer to the stumps as the left-hander is forced to play at it and is beaten.
Bumrah strikes with the first delivery of his second over to dismiss Keaton Jennings for a duck. The left-hander offers no shot to a delivery pitched on the leg stump, expecting it to go across him but to his horror the ball comes in sharply and strikes him right in front of the stumps. He was dead in front of the stumps and walked off immediately without consulting the DRS.
New batsman Joe Root is also beaten by one that moves away as he plays a loose shot outside the off-stump.
The England captain clips the last ball through midwicket for two runs to get off the mark.
