England 322-7 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

A good over from Umesh as he keeps Root and Willey tied down to singles with some good yorkers.

Root is beaten by a wide yorker before he tries the paddle but mishits it on the off-side for one.

But Umesh then gifts England a no-ball and a free hit for overstepping but it doesn't cost India much as Root can only drive it straight to the covers for one and Kohli gifts them another extra run with the overthrow.

Just nine from the penultimate over as Umesh finishes with one for 63 in his 10 overs.

A long chat between Dhoni and Kaul, who has been assigned to bowl the final over of the innings.

Willey takes one from the first ball before Root guides the next to thirdman for two runs. Another single for Root before Willey drills the fourth ball down the ground and picks up a couple as they risk the second run.

Willey can't make most of a full toss as he turns it on the leg side for two runs as Willey races to his half-century, from just 30 balls.

He is beaten off the last ball and is run out trying to sneak a quick bye with Dhoni gets a direct hit as England finish on 322 for seven in their 50 overs.
