August 31, 2018 15:55
India 37-1 (8 ovs) vs England 246 | Scorecard
India's openers are scoring at a good rate, at more than five per over. Anderson drops slightly short and Rahul picks the length quickly as he rocks back and slaps it through the covers for a four.
The next ball is full and on the stumps and this time the stylish right-hander clips it through square leg for two runs and then gets a single.
Dhawan is struck on the pads off the last ball but the leg before appeal is turned down.
Broad strikes the first blow, with the wicket of Rahul, who is trapped leg before wicket by an incoming delivery. That ball was fuller and came in sharply as Rahul tries to flick it across the line but misses and was struck in front.
He has a chat with his partner Dhawan before deciding to take the review. The impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the stumps which means the decision stays and Rahul walks back for 19.
Cheteshwar Pujara watchfully defends the next ball which again nips in and he manages to play out the rest of the over.
