England 61-2 (25 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Shardul goes greedy as he overpitches on the stumps with Sibley easily flicking it through square leg for a four.

He adjusts his line but this time he is too wide and Sibley is able to leave the next two deliveries.

Another one on the stumps as Sibley pushes it to mid-on and drives the fifth to the covers and leaves the last ball.

In the next over, Siraj bowls a wide delivery to Root which he leaves and then taps the next to point.

A few balls later, Root steers a wide delivery from Siraj past gully fielder for a four.

The next ball comes off the thick outside edge of the bat and goes uppishly past point for another boundary.

Siraj goes full and straight as Root clips it in some style through square leg to complete a hat-trick of fours as the England captain is off to a confident start.

In the next over, Sibley drives a wide delivery from Shardul through the covers for a couple of runs and then pushes the next on the off-side.

Shardul getting some good movement but the line is a bit too wide to make Sibley play.

Bumrah comes back into the attack, to bowl the final over of the session. Root cuts the first ball but can't beat point before he leaves the next and blocks the third ball.

The fourth ball is down the leg side as Root leaves and Pant is unable to collect it cleanly to concede a bye before Sibley survives a huge leg before wicket shout.

The incoming delivery strikes him on the pads but the umpire turns it down and Kohli decides against the review.

England go into the lunch break on 61/2 in 25 overs, with Sibley on 18 and Root on 12.

Siraj and Bumrah picked up a wicket each as India came up with a good bowling performance in the morning session.
