England 131-3 (48 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah comes back into the attack as he takes over from Shardul. The line is quite good as Root is made to defend on the off-side. He tries the variation with the incoming deliver but Root is able to glance it for a single to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket.

In the next over, Root misses the flick off Siraj and gets a leg bye before Bairstow crashes an overpitched delivery through the covers for a four to take his score to 20.

The next ball is driven handsomely back past the bowler for a straight boundary as the two England batsmen settle down nicely in good conditions for batting on the opening day.

The last ball is clipped through midwicket for a couple of runs as England get a move along.

Bumrah getting the ball to tail into the right-hander as Root confidently keeps it out.
