    Back under way and England's batters take a single each off the remainder of the over.

    One over left in the powerplay.

    Dawson gets dropped after scoring 68, supporting Root, Bethell keeps his place, fails again, and will still be there for the next game.

    I have a terrible feeling that this England management are going to ruin Bethell's career through early promotion as happened with Crawley.

    Today is the 11th time England have lost two or more powerplay wickets in an ODI since the start of 2025 - they've gone on to win on only one of the previous 10 occasions (vs West Indies, Cardiff 2025).

    Harry Brook, wearing a bright blue England shirt and dark blue helmet, is struck on the grille by the white ballGetty Images

    A bit of a break here after Harry Brook is struck in the grille by new bowler Gurnoor Brar.

    He went to ramp a ball that wasn't there to be ramped.

    There's no pressure with the run rate, it's the wickets.

    If you count Buttler as an all-rounder, there are only four specialist batsmen on this side. There's potency but no real stability at the tail-end.

    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England aren't getting away with it. Just suddenly, after being becalmed, they are finally getting runs on the board.

  7. Eng 39-2

    Joe Root adds another four through long leg before chipping a single aerially in the same area, with the ball dropping just short of the fielder out there.

    That's an over-step from Prasidh Krishna this time and Harry Brook flails an edge over the slip for four.

    I am working from home while watching the cricket. When a bowler like Bumrah comes on, there are somethings you have to stop doing and watch. Just like when the great Shane Warne bowled.

    Jasprit Bumrah wastes no time. He always marches back, ready to bowl.

    The only time he does waste time is in the little walk in his run up.

  10. Eng 29-2

    Well, on average in an ODI it'll be after scoring 38.71 runs, Robin.

    Jasprit Bumrah over-steps again and Joe Root faces his second free hit.

    It's yorker time again and Joe Root digs it out well, sending the ball away square for four.

    Harry Brook, wearing a bright blue England shirt and dark blue trousers and helmet, with his bat high to his left is struck in the midriff by the white ballPA Media

    At the moment, Root is bent on survival and you never know what Brook's going to do. He's already thrown his bat all over the show.

    Revenge for getting struck!

    Prasidh Krishna twice thuds a delivery into the stomach of Harry Brook, and from the first of those the England captain manages to hurl his bat out to where a leg slip might be.

    Having faced five balls without scoring, Brook steps across his stumps and ramps Krishna for a mighty six at fine leg.

    Joe Root looks to that backwards point area to pick up singles. When you're playing against him, you want to stop the singles and force him to play the big shots, especially when he first comes in.

    You don't want Joe Root to get set.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Even the free hits are hard to hit with Bumrah.

    This is great cricket. You feel Bumrah could get a wicket any ball here.

  17. Eng 14-2

    Jasprit Bumrah over-steps and Joe Root gets to face a free hit from the in-form seamer.

    A superb yorker comes down and Root can't get it away.

    The England number three subsequently attempts a drive and there's an appeal as Ishan Kishan gathers behind the stumps - India decide not to review.

    When you watch a top class player (Bumrah) who’s 100% on it, no matter which team you support, you just have to admire and respect them.

    Well, if anyone was wondering how Harry Brook would play the situation...

    The England captain advances down the pitch to Prasidh Krishna and attempts a big drive.

    Instead he inside edges and the ball flies past Ishan Kishan for four.

    Magnificent delivery is this one. Coming around the wicket, as a batter, you've got to play the angle.

    That is a magnificent delivery to get rid of Jacob Bethell. Very good start for India.
