India 34-1 (18 ovs) vs Eng 205 | Scorecard

Anderson creating some problems for Rohit with the incoming delivery. Once again Rohit is hit high on the pads as he fails to keep the inswinger out before he sensibly taps the next ball on the leg side and gets off strike.

Pujara keeping it simple, not wanting to do anything with deliveries outside the off-stump as he plays just one of the last four balls to end the over.

Stokes gets the ball to move away slightly as Rohit is opened up but he manages to block it out before he again picks a single on the leg side.

Stokes then bowls a cracking well-directed bouncer to Pujara, who does well to avoid it by swaying out of the way.

England looking for some early help as the pacers continue from both ends. Rohit looks keen to play out the opening hour and cash in later on as he watchfully plays out another maiden over from Anderson.

India have scored just four runs from the first five overs on the second day.

Stokes gets the ball to jag in as Pujara is able to tap it on the leg side for a single.

Rohit then misses out on a full toss, hitting it straight to the fielder in the covers.

Stokes offers him another full toss which Rohit makes sure to hit in the gap between cover and point for the first boundary of the day.

He then nudges the next ball on the leg side for a single before Pujara blocks out the last two balls.
