England 300-8 (114 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Broad doing well to rotate the strike as he picks up another single to bring Buttler back on strike.

Ishant overpitches and also offers some width as Buttler plays a beautiful drive through the covers for a four and then picks a run from the next.

Broad hits the last ball through the off-side for a couple of runs to take his score to 26.

In the next over, Buttler steers Shami to thirdman for two runs and then picks a single on the leg side as England inch closer to 300.

Ishant has a huge appeal for leg before turned down as Buttler is struck on the pads by the incoming delivery. The umpire rightly turns down the appeal with the ball clearly slipping down the leg side.

Broad makes room and looks for a big hit over the off-side but gets a thick outside edge which flies over the slips for a four.

Any other day, with a little bit of luck, Shami could have ended with a bagful of wickets. He gone past the edge so many times and is yet to pick a wicket from 29 overs.

Broad and Buttler are both beaten again by the Indian pacer, who sends down another probing over.

Broad shuffling a long way across the stumps to Ishant, trying to turn the pacer on the leg side but fails to find the gap. He manages to clip the next ball through midwicket to bring up England's 300, in the 114th over.

The duo have kept the runs coming at a good rate, with the last 50, from 250 to 300, coming from just 60 balls.
