OUT! CAUGHT! A double-whammy for Jofra Archer and that is reckless from Suryakumar Yadav.
4.4
.
A half-hearted appeal for caught behind from the keeper but nothing doing there. A quick bumper now at 143.8 clicks, in and around off and zipping through. Suryakumar Yadav looks to get across and hook but is well beaten.
4.3
.
Takes some pace off that one and bowls it on a hard length around off, Suryakumar Yadav coves the line and keeps it out.
Indian skipper, Suryakumar Yadav walks out to bat now.
OUT! CAUGHT! Taken in the deep and Jofra Archer sends Sanju Samson packing. A well-directed short ball from Jofra Archer, over off and middle, angling in around head height. Samson picks the length early and looks to pull off the back foot but is still hurried and ends up pulling it to the right of deep mid-wicket. Gus Atkinson there moves across and comes in a bit to take it low to his right and England have their first wicket. Samson goes for 26 (20).

Hard-length delivery, over middle and holding its line, Sanju Samson stays back and clips it away with sweet timing through wide mid-wicket. Jos Buttler from mid on chases it down and flicks the ball in to save a couple of runs.
Change? Nope. Archer to steam in for his third over. He is 2-0-11-0 so far.

FOUR BYES! Oh, that is unfortunate for the bowler! Wood serves it on a good length around off, trying to angle it in at a whopping 153.6 clicks. Sanju Samson backs away to heave but is beaten for pace and swing and the ball keeps swinging in, past the diving keeper and rolls away into the fine leg fence.
3.4
.
Wood is bowling with some real heat out there! Over 142 clicks and banged in short over off, the ball flies off the deck and Sanju Samson is beaten all ends up while looking to pull.
3.3
.
Sanju Samson hangs back and aims for the big cross-batted shot. Mark Wood sees him and follows him with a fuller one at almost 154 clicks, Samson swings and toe-ends it toward mid on.
3.2
.
Hits the deck hard again and angles it in over the top of off, Sanju Samson stays on the back foot and plays it late towards backward point.
3.1
.
Well timed and equally well stopped! Banged in on a hard length around off and at 148.3 clicks. Samson hangs back and punches it to the right of Ben Duckett at covers and he makes a sharp stop.
More raw pace has been deployed now. Mark Wood is introduced into the attack. He replaces Gus Atkinson.
