July 14, 2018 17:25

England 156-2 (26 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Pandya tries a bouncer at Root but it slips down the leg side and is ruled a wide.

The next ball is again short and wide as Root flays it through point for a four and pull the next ball to deep square for one.

Pandya tries the slower ball but ends up bowling another wide, to Morgan, who takes one to mid-on.

Chahal oversteps to give away a no-ball and the free hit but Root can only sweep it to midwicket for one.

Chahal bowling some quiet overs in the middle as India look to build some pressure by drying up the boundaries.

Part-time off-spinner Suresh Raina is brought into the attack, to bowl the 25th over.

England easily collect six singles from Raina's first over to reach 152 for two in 25 overs at the halfway stage to maintain their good scoring rate.

It is proving to be too easy for England as despite hitting any boundaries they have been able to keep up the momentum.
