India 153-6 (62 ovs) vs Eng 205 | Scorecard

Off-spinner Bess comes back into the attack. Pant tries the reverse sweep but is hit on the gloves before he comes and drives it to long-off for one.

Bess drops short as Sundar cuts it to deep point for a single to get off the mark, his first run in three innings, and Pants tucks away the last ball to long-on for one to keep strike.

Root is back into the attack as England employ off-spinners from both ends against the two left-handers.

Pant clips the second ball behind square on the leg side for a couple to take India past the 150-run mark and then takes one on the off-side before Sundar blocks out the rest of the over.

Bess has a huge appeal for leg before wicket turned down against Pant. Root has a chat with the bowler before he decides to take the DRS.

Pant was looking to play it on the leg side but misses and is hit on the back pad.

Pant survives by the narrowest of margins as the decision with the umpire's call with the ball clipping the top of the stumps. He benefits from the fact that umpire Nitin Menon had ruled in his favour.

Pant then chips down the track and clips Bess wide of long-on for a single.

India go into the tea break on 153/6 in 62 overs, trailing England by 52 runs.

Pant has played another good hand with the bat, scoring 36, while Sundar is on one.

Overall, India lost wickets for 73 runs in 24.1 overs as England continue to fight their way back in the match.
