2.1 OUT! Edged and taken! Woakes has the first strike! A lovely delivery. Lands this in the avenue of apprehension, which is around an area near the 4th stump. This means that the batsman has to play at it and Rahul does. The length is somewhere between full and good, which further means that the batsman cannot leave it, assuming that the ball will go over the stumps. So Rahul looks to play. But at the last moment, the ball moves away and takes the outside edge. It dips on its way to second slip where Ben Stokes takes a very good catch above the surface. Woakes is pumped up and why not? Early break for England again. 14/1

| Shikhar Dhawan | 11 | 15 | 2 | 0 | 73.33 |
|
4.4 OUT! Drags it on! Third wicket for Woakes! He is on a roll. Full and outside off, swinging away, Dhawan looks to drive but there is no feet movement and he gets a thick inside edge which shatters the stumps. India in a bit of a bother here, 3 down for not many. 25/3

| Virat Kohli C | 8 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 160 |
|
3 OUT! Kohli has gone cheaply today! Big, big wicket for England. This is very full outside off, a touch wider, perhaps Kohli thinks it is a yorker and looks to dig it out. But he is fooled by the length and ends up just pushing at the ball. The bat hits the ground and the ball takes the outside edge towards second slip. Ben Stokes gets across to his left, fumbles in the first attempt but then takes it in the second. Woakes is cock-a-hoop. The umpire checks for the overstepping but replays show that Woakes is fine. Kohli has to go. What an over - 2 wickets, 2 boundaries! 22/2

| Yuvraj Singh | 150 | 127 | 21 | 3 | 118.11 |
|
43 OUT! Caught behind! Yuvraj finally falls. Woakes has his fourth. A full ball wide outside off, Yuvraj looks to drive this through the covers but the feet do not move as much and he gets a thick nick to the keeper. He departs for a wonderful 150 from just 127 balls. Deserved a double there. The crowd stands as one. What a knock. Take a bow. Can England come back from here? 281/4

| MS Dhoni Wk | 134 | 122 | 10 | 6 | 109.83 |
|
48 OUT! Excellent catch in the deep! A length ball outside off, Dhoni pulls it over mid-wicket. David Willey times his jump to perfection at the ropes and takes it nicely. What a knock from the former Indian skipper. Old memories relived. 358/6
|

| Kedar Jadhav | 22 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 220 |
|
46 OUT! Straight to the man! A slower full toss outside off, Jadhav is early into his heave and mistimes it towards short mid-wicket. Jake Ball comes forward and takes a neat catch. Excellent cameo from Jadhav. 323/5

| Jason Roy | 82 | 73 | 9 | 2 | 112.32 |
|
26.1 OUT! BOWLED! Jadeja gets Roy again! The change of pace does the trick. Tossed up slowly on middle, Roy stays back and looks to run it down to third man but the ball turns away just a touch and hits the off stump! Terrific knock from Roy. That ends the 42-run stand but Morgan has faced just 18 balls, so relatively two new batsmen will be in the middle. 170/3

| Alex Hales | 14 | 12 | 3 | 0 | 116.66 |

3.5 OUT! Caught behind! One down, 9 to go. On a good length outside off, Hales looks to push it away but ends up chasing the ball and nicks it behind to Dhoni. Simple catch and India have an early breakthrough. 28/1

| Joe Root | 54 | 55 | 8 | 0 | 98.18 |
|
19.5 OUT! Taken! The partnership is broken. Root once again falls after a start and Ashwin has struck with his fifth ball. Full and outside off, a bit of width, Root goes for the slog sweep with mid-wicket inside the ring but only ends up being away from the ball. Gets a top edge which balloons in the air and Virat Kohli calmly takes it at short mid-wicket. That brings the crowd to life which was beginning to get restless. 128/2

| Eoin Morgan C | 102 | 81 | 6 | 5 | 125.92 |
|
48.3 OUT! Morgan is run out! That should seal the game and series for India. A full ball outside off, almost a yorker, Plunkett drives this straight back to Bumrah. Morgan is backing out of his crease, looking for the single and has no time to get back. Bumrah runs and fires a throw at the stumps. End of a very good innings, gave England some chance. 354/8

| Ben Stokes | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |
|
27.2 OUT! That stays low and goes through! The carrom ball around off, Stokes stays back, playing for the turn, but the ball goes straight on, takes the inside edge and hits the stumps! England have lost two in quick succession now. 173/4

| Jos Buttler Wk | 10 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 111.11 |
|
31.2 OUT! STUMPED! Remember the great Ian Chappell at this stage of the game. He always used to point towards fielding as an important aspect in the game. Many a times, what happens is, a fielding effort changes the course of the game. On the previous ball, two runs were available but because of Jadeja, the batsmen got only a single. Had that not happened, Buttler would never have been on strike! The darter from Ashwin, slipping this down the leg side, sensing that Buttler will come at him and then making the ball to go past the bat. Dhoni collects and then waits for the batsman to try to get back. Buttler sees that, tries to get back but then Dhoni whips the bails off. England are crumbling now. WIDE signalled as well. 206/5

| Moeen Ali | 55 | 43 | 6 | 0 | 127.90 |
|
43.3 OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Bhuvneshwar provides the breakthrough for India! Smart bowling, keeps this full and around off, changes the pace as well, delivering the off cutter. Moeen looks to go over the top of cover but ends up getting a thick inside edge onto the stumps. A fine, fine knock from Moeen but India keep chipping away. 299/6

| Chris Woakes | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 125 |

44.2 OUT! BOWLED! England are capitulating now. A slower ball outside off, 111 kph, Woakes is early into his swing and completely misses the ball. It hits the off stump. 304/7
