Joe Root walks out to bat at number 3.
4.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CHOPPED ON! The change of angle does do the trick for Jasprit Bumrah and India have their first wicket. On a hard length around off at almost 142 clicks and this one doesn’t move but rather comes in with the angle. Dawid Malan hangs back, doesn’t move his feet and looks to cut close to the body but he only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps and hears the death rattle.
4.4 overs (0 Run) On a good length and pushed across onto the pads, Dawid Malan gets his hands in front and pushes it down to mid on.

3.4 overs (0 Run) Fuller delivery on off stump, angling back in. Jonny Bairstow looks for the booming cover drive but gets a big inside edge that goes past the stumps and Mohammed Siraj holds his head in dismay.
3.3 overs (0 Run) Good length around the top of off, angled in and straightening a bit off the deck as well. Jonny Bairstow plays it on the up toward mid off. Siraj seems to be struggling a bit with the strapping on his ankle and the physio is out to have a look. A slight delay in proceedings.

2.2 overs (1 Run) Wide! Length ball, sprayed down the leg side and this one swings further down leg. KL Rahul does well to spring to his right and get a glove on it.
2.1 overs (0 Run) On a good length around leg and angled across, Dawid Malan hops back and blocks it back to the bowler.
1.6 overs (1 Run) Leg bye! Full and around leg, sliding into the pads. Dawid Malan misses the flick and the ball rolls off his pads toward backward square leg. They pick up a leg bye.
1.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Lovely timing on this occasion! Full on off stump, bowled with a wobbly seam, Dawid Malan stays back and punches it straight back past the bowler and to the left of mid off for a boundary.
1.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! That is a gorgeous shot to get off the mark from Dawid Malan! Good length around the top of off, Malan takes a step across and clobbers it nonchalantly over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
