August 30, 2018 17:33

England 57-4 (24 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Stokes misses the glance down the leg side off Shami as India appeal for catch down the leg side but it is turned down. The last ball is flicked through square leg for a couple of runs.

Buttler looks in good touch as he drills a full delivery from Pandya through the covers for a four. The next ball is on the pads as Buttler turns it square on the leg side for another boundary to take England's score to 50, in the 20th over.

Shami also drifts on the pads as Stokes clips it through square leg for a couple. Shami gets one to come in very late but it has pitched well outside the off-stump and wicketkeeper Pant is in some trouble as he dives full length to his right and half stops it, for a bye.

With 10 minutes to go for lunch, Bumrah comes back for another short burst before the break.

Stokes is beaten by one which is slanted across him by Bumrah, who continues to trouble the batsmen.

Stokes takes a couple of steps down the track but is again beaten by the away movement from Bumrah.

DROPPED CATCH! Pant puts down Buttler (11) as the right-hander looks to leave a wide delivery from Shami but the ball kisses the bottom of the bat. Wicketkeeper Pant has to go down suddenly and he gets his gloves to the ball but is unable to hold on.

Stokes clips the next ball through midwicket for two runs. The last ball is virtually unplayable, bounce and movement, as Stokes is beaten all ends up and Pant does well to stop the ball.

Bumrah to bowl the final over of the morning session. Buttler turns the first ball to fine leg for a single before a watchful Stokes defends the rest of the over to end the first session on Day 1.
