77.6
Stokes to Shami, 1 run, back of a length around off, Shami defends it past Jadeja and they take the single. The trust is growing now and Jadeja is allowing Shami to have more of the strike
77.5
Stokes to Shami, no run, bouncer angled in, Shami ducks inside the line and allows it to sail over. Jadeja walks up to have a word
77.4
Stokes to Shami, FOUR, in the air and over the fielder. Stokes once again has his hands on his head. Short ball and Shami is not in control of the pull, the top-edge goes up and clears backward square. Bairstow was not all the way back or all the way forward, he was halfway and the ball evaded him
77.3
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, fullish delivery around off, Jadeja defends into the open cover region and takes the single
77.2
Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, streaky! Short of length delivery and Jadeja wanted to dab it to third man, but the extra lift took the top-edge and flew over the slip cordon. Stokes has his hands on his head
77.1
Stokes to Shami, 1 run, off strike first ball. Short of length angled into the hips, Shami tucks it backward of square and Jadeja calls him through
75.6
Stokes to Shami, no run, short of length outside off, Shami angles it through backward point and the duo decide against the single
75.5
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, but Stokes strays onto the pads and allows Jadeja to get off strike, clipped to deep backward square
75.4
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, that's a beauty from Stokes. Fuller and draws Jadeja into the forward push, but the ball straightens after pitching and beats the outside edge
75.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, aimed for the top of off-stump, Jadeja defends with the bat close to the body
75.2
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, back of a length outside off, Jadeja dabs it to deep backward point
75.1
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, very full and close to yorker length, Jadeja digs it out through mid-wicket
73.6
Stokes to Shami, no run, pounds it on the hard length and Shami knocks it to point, Jadeja is happy to keep strike
73.5
Stokes to Shami, no run, banged into the surface, Shami rides the bounce and fends it into the off-side
73.4
Stokes to Shami, no run, short of length and Shami drops it with soft hands towards gully, Jadeja wanted the single but is sent back
73.3
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, the idea was to scamper back for the second but Broad does well. Full and slanted into the pads, Jadeja flicks it to wide long-on and is made to settle with a single. Stokes has three balls at Shami
73.2
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, on a length and around off, Jadeja angles it towards point and denies the single
73.1
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, good length ball angled in, but well outside off and Jadeja shoulders arms. Almost dies before Billings
71.6
Stokes to Shami, no run, a snorting bouncer. Seriously good pace and carry, and it's too good for Shami to deal with
71.5
Stokes to Shami, no run, a loose flirty flash outside off: with Shami shuffling and sticking his bat out to try and stab it behind point. Nope, no connection
71.4
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, pitched up on middle, whipped down to long-on, and as usual, England seem happy to give Jadeja these fourth-ball singles
71.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, kicks up off the deck, but Jadeja adjusts well to keep it down with his defence
71.2
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, nipping in on middle, good length, Jadeja softly nudges it through square leg
71.1
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, floaty delivery outside off, nibbling away. Left alone
69.6
Stokes to Shami, no run, a quick sharp in-slanter, hurrying Shami up as he looks to glance and whizzing past his glove. Ooh, England think there's a tickle. The umpire doesn't, and UltraEdge doesn't either when they review. To be fair nobody really heard a sound, and this was just one those why-not-use-them-when-you-have-them times ..
69.5
Stokes to Shami, no run, bodylined, mistimed swivel-pull to the right of square leg
69.4
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, a quite high-elbowed tap off the back foot, through the covers. And Shami has two balls to negotiate
69.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, short, outside off, flashed away wide of sweeper, but again, it's just a single on offer, and Jadeja isn't taking them
69.2
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, a hard swivelling pull, but there is a deep mid-wicket, and Jadeja isn't running singles
69.1
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, length, just outside off, defended
67.6
Stokes to Thakur, out Caught by Billings!! Well, well. Thakur falls off the extra ball, thanks to Stokes' relentless overstepping, and this never ending over. It's a sharp bouncer that does the job, climbing in and getting big on Shardul takes his eyes off the ball as he looks to evade. But the ball follows him in, takes the glove from in front of the face, and lobs towards the keeper, who dives forward and grabs. Thakur c Billings b Stokes 1(12)
67.6
Stokes to Thakur, no ball, back to banging them into the pitch. Thakur rides the bounce this time and nudges it around. Another no ball. Well, Stokes' digging himself into the ground here
67.5

67.4
Stokes to Thakur, no run, short, easily over the shoulder as Thakur sits
67.4

65.5
Stokes to Pant, no ball, 1 run, miscued pull, trickling away towards fine leg. Yep, this over's mandatory overstep
65.4
Stokes to Jadeja, 1 run, a soft-handed back foot defence .. in fact so soft that the ball rolls backwards, and Jadeja's lucky it doesn't go onto his stumps
65.3

63.2
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, short, angling in, and following Jadeja as he sways out
63.1
Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, just dismissive. Stokes continues banging them it, but this one sits up around the chest for Jadeja to swivel and swat away through square leg. India touch 300. Who would've thought ..
61.6
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, 130kph, banged into the pitch, but the line's straying down leg, past a ducking Jadeja

59.5
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, 130kph, short, ignored, but thankfully legal at least

59.1

43.6

43.5
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, much fuller this time, tighter lines, defended solidly
43.5

43.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, slanting in from just outside off, Jadeja doesn't offer a shot
43.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no ball, back of a length, no room as Jadeja hangs back to chop this towards point. Wants the single but Pant rightly declines the offer. Meanwhile, Stokes has overstepped again. Clearly looks very rusty
43.2

41.4
Stokes to Pant, 3 runs, quite full, angling in and Pant leans into a delicate open-faced drive, carves it away behind point and another to the assortment of threes that have been taken today
41.4
Stokes to Jadeja, no ball, 1 run, back of a length this time, bounces a bit extra and takes Jadeja by surprise. Does well eventually to dab it in front of point. Proper effort ball from Stokes, perhaps a bit too much effort and he has overstepped once more
41.3
Stokes to Jadeja, no run, loses his radar a bit and spills this well down the leg-side, Jadeja tries to glance it away but misses

39.6
Stokes to Pant, no run, very full and closer to the off stump, driven firmly to mid-off
39.5
Stokes to Pant, FOUR, bad ball, and these two haven't missed out on any loose stuff at all. Short and very wide, Pant reaches out and scythes it behind point. More of a slice and there isn't anybody sweeping that side. Only one fielder deep on the off-side and he is well in front of square
39.4
Stokes to Pant, 2 runs, excellent running! Fullish in-angler, Pant leans well forward and steered this gently towards the gap at backward point. The intent was for a brace from the get-go and they got it with ease
39.3
Stokes to Pant, no run, fuller this time, angling into Pant who gets well forward and defends
39.2
Stokes to Pant, no run, back of a length, very wide and Pant chases it with an off-balance cut shot. Could easily have gotten a feather on this
39.1
Stokes to Pant, no run, oh, that's audacious from Pant, tries to slog sweep Stokes but the length is a bit too full for the shot. Did it probably mistake this for a Free Hit? Or is it just Pant being Pant as we know
39.1
Stokes to Jadeja, no ball, 1 run, in-angler around off stump, blocked out towards mid-wicket. Went off the inside half of the blade. Stokes begins with a front-foot no ball
