Dockrell comes on from the other end. A single to Rahul before Raina pulls a short ball over midwicket for a four followed by two singles.

Raina gets two runs from the last ball as India cross the 100-run mark after 10 overs.

Rankin comes back as Rahul pulls the first ball over square leg for a six to bring up his half-century in grand style, from just 28 balls.
