Leach continues after the drinks break. Jadeja pushes the first ball into the covers for a single before Pant whips the next ball using his wrists to good effect for a four in the gap through square leg.
Pant is beaten third ball as he pushes forward to defend as wicketkeeper Billings looks to have dropped the catch but he will be relieved to see that there is nothing on the UltraEdge.
A single each to Pant and Jadeja as the scoreboard keeps ticking along at a good rate.
Stokes is back into the attack. The first ball is short but down the leg side as Jadeja leaves it easily. The next ball is a half-tracker as Jadeja easily ducks under it.
The fielders are packed on the leg side especially for the short ball. This time Jadeja takes on the short ball, but only pulls it to the fielder at deep midwicket.
Stokes put in some extra effort in the bouncer as he ends up overstepping to concede a no-ball. The last ball is way down the leg side as it out of reach of wicketkeeper Billings for four byes.
Leach continues as Pant and Jadeja take a single each before the former pulls a short ball through square leg for a four.
He chips down the track and launches Leach high over long-on for a six.
England don't help their cause as the overthrow from the fielder at square leg gifts Rishabh Pant four overthrows.
Pant again uses his feet and this time his trademark one-handed six goes a long way over long-on for the second six.
Leach has been hit for 22 runs in the 61st over, going for a total of 71 runs in his nine overs.
