Jonny Bairstow 30(42)
33.1
Jadeja to Bairstow, out Caught by Rajat Patidar!! Bairstow goes first ball, this is another massive breakthrough for India. Lapse in concentration and that has cost him dear, nicely tossed up on off, hit the crack and spun away - Bairstow was shaping for the drive, did so with hard hands and didn't count for the turn, spoons it in the air and it's a dolly for Patidar at cover. Just the start after tea - England are effectively 166 for 6 now. Bairstow c Rajat Patidar b Jadeja 30(42) [4s-3]

19.3
Siraj to Bairstow, 3 runs, lovely drive against the angle, Bairstow plays through cover. Akash cuts it off from deep point with a dive. Does well to save one. Siraj shouldn't mind that shot if he can get the ball to move back in because through the gate is a big possibility

18.1
Ashwin to Bairstow, FOUR, way too full and right in the slot for Bairstow to get under and off-drive very straight to take mid-off out of the equation
17.3
