Jonny Bairstow 15(41)
30.1
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, out Caught by Rahul!! Pandya is on fire! Rahul at second slip is having a gala time, pouches it easily and is merrily celebrating it. Another massive strike, Bairstow this time. Lovely outswinger, he had to play at it due to the line and the edge was found. Formalities for KLR and India are threatening to make short work of this English batting line-up. Buttler now has the tail for company. Bairstow c Rahul b Hardik Pandya 15(41) [4s-3]
29.6
Shami to Buttler, no run, too wide once again, well outside off and Buttler is happy leaving
28.5
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, shocker of a ball, Pant did well to get to this with a dive. Managed to prevent some byes. The inswinger gone horribly wrong, well down leg and stopped well
28.4
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, shapes away from a good length, Bairstow gets forward and lets it pass
28.3
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, more of the fourth stump line, shapes away a tad as Bairstow lets it pass
28.2
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, beautiful bowling! Pandya has been on song in this spell so far. This is jagging back in a bit from the same fourth stump line, full again and Bairstow is beaten on the drive
28.1
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, FOUR, flies away off the outer half of the blade but Bairstow was probably eyeing that area as well, albeit not so unconvincingly. Fullish outswinger, ducks JB into the drive and it beats backward point to the fence
27.6
Shami to Bairstow, 1 run, freebie, full on the pads and Bairstow obliges with a flick down to fine leg. Brings the 100 up for England
27.5
Shami to Bairstow, no run, loose from Bairstow! This was quite wide outside off and he just flashed at it without moving his feet. Lucky not to get a feather. Typical of him really, finds ways of getting out more often than not
27.4
Shami to Bairstow, no run, just around off stump, full once more and this time Bairstow is solid in defence on the front foot
27.3
Shami to Bairstow, no run, faint inside edge onto the pad, just rolls past the stumps towards the cordon. Good nipbacker from Shami and Bairstow probably pushed at it with hard hands and no real foot movement
27.2
Shami to Bairstow, no run, fuller this time, driven firmly off the front foot towards mid-off
27.1
Shami to Bairstow, no run, on a good length just outside off stump, Bairstow lets it pass to the keeper
26.6
Hardik Pandya to Stokes, no run, this was very, very close! Stokes is lucky not to be given out though him coming down the track helped him for sure. Was very full and he was on the move, missed the flick and got pinged on the pad. Initially, seemed like it was pitching outside leg but that part was fine and was umpire's call on hitting. India retain the review
26.3
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, good lines from Pandya, getting movement and importantly, getting them on target. Fourth stump line, outswinger, carefully left alone
26.2
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, getting closer to the off pole, another fullish outswinger and Bairstow defends well off the front foot
26.1
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, no run, better this time, the outswinger on fourth stump line and jags away as Bairstow lets it pass
26.1
Hardik Pandya to Bairstow, wide, okay, we have a wide and that's a big thing in a Test match, isn't it? An away swinger from Hardik but perhaps could have landed it better, this is way outside off and goes further away
25.6
Shami to Stokes, no run, angling into the body sharply, Stokes is stuck on the crease for the flick and is rapped high on the thigh
25.1
Shami to Bairstow, no run, good ball! Fullish and nips in just a shade from around off, Bairstow trusts his judgement and makes a good leave
24.6
Hardik Pandya to Stokes, FOUR, flashes and flashes hard! Stokes isn't going to die wondering, that's for sure. There was some seam movement away from him but the width helped him free his arms. Slashes hard and the slice flies over backward point
23.5
Shami to Bairstow, no run, now pushes it further, full and inswinging, Bairstow is hit on the pad, going down
23.4
Shami to Bairstow, no run, ooh! That has cut in sharply, causing Bairstow problems, hit on the tummy, the movement from a back of a length troubled Bairstow there
23.3
Shami to Bairstow, no run, full on off, Bairstow pushes it to mid-off
23.2
Shami to Bairstow, no run, short of length and rising, Bairstow defends compactly off the back foot
23.1
Shami to Bairstow, no run, short and seaming away from outside off, Bairstow went for a loose cut and so easily could've edged that, missed as the ball went past the edge
22.6
Bumrah to Root, 2 runs, angled in and Root shuffles across and gets inside the line, glanced wide of Ishant at deep backward square, easy two
22.4

21.4
Ishant to Bairstow, no run, looked like a slower delivery, on off, Bairstow dabs to backward point
21.3
Ishant to Bairstow, FOUR, easy for Bairstow. Who nearly takes short leg out with a flick. Over Dhawan's helmet and the opener manages a smile, full on the stumps, Bairstow flicked and got four
21.2
Ishant to Bairstow, no run, hands on head moment for Ishant. Thick inside edge on the forward drive as the ball swung in, falls short of Jadeja at backward square leg. Shouts of catch as the ball trimmed the edge

19.4
Ishant to Bairstow, no run, flicked in the air but in front of Jadeja at backward square, short of length on the pads, Bairstow finds the man
19.3
Ishant to Bairstow, no run, Bairstow doesn't want to do the same mistake as Pope, allows the short of length delivery to hit his body and offers no shot, runs away but since he was offering no shot, runs can't be taken
19.2
Ishant to Bairstow, no run, bouncer but down leg, a sighter for Bairstow who ducks
