Roy punches the fifth ball wide of mid-on for another two runs. All or nothing approach by Roy as he has another wild swing but is beaten by Bhuvi.

India introduce spin early as Yuzvendra Chahal comes in to bowl the fourth over. Buttler defends the first ball watchfully before he tucks the next on the leg side for a single.

Roy not holding back though as he reverse sweeps a full toss over point for a four before he taps the next to midwicket for one.
