September 02, 2018 20:45

India 140-5 (55 ovs); Target to win: 245 | Scorecard

Ben Stokes strikes in the first over after the tea break as Hardik Pandya is caught at second slip for a duck.

Root hung on to a good low catch as Stokes got one to bounce extra and move away to take the edge and get the session started in the right note for the hosts.

Rishabh Pant avoids the pair as he flicks the last ball of the over through midwicket for a four.

Moeen Ali from the other end. The first ball turns big as Rahane looks to defend off the front foot but is beaten and hits on the pads. He then takes a single off the third ball before Pant shows his intent by coming down the track and lofting the spinner back over his head for a six followed by two singles to get nine from the over.
