11.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! That is a huge opportunity missed for Shreyas Iyer but the decision to keep Chris Woakes on for an extended spell has proved to be a positive one for Jos Buttler and England. Woakes bangs this one a bit on a shorter length and over the stumps. It is again the pressure created by the dot balls prior to this delivery that draws Iyer into playing a reckless shot.
