Shami to start off proceedings after the lunch break. Buttler defends the first four balls before he looks to flick the fifth through the leg side but gets a thick leading edge which goes through the vacant gully region for a four.

India introduce spin as Ravichandran Ashwin comes in to bowl the 26th over. Stokes defends the first five balls before he ends the over with a boundary off the last ball.

In the next over, Buttler slaps a full delivery from Shami straight down the ground past mid-off for a four.

But the pacer gets revenge, as he takes the wicket of Buttler two balls later, caught in the slips by Kohli. He went chasing after a wide delivery from Shami but it moves away enough to take the edge as Butter walks back for 21 with England reduced to 69 for five.

Moeen Ali is greeted by a bouncer first up as he manages to play out the last three balls of the over.
