India 86-2 (25 ovs) vs England 353 | Scorecard

Jaiswal pushes Bashir past point for a single and Gill defends the next back to the bowler.

Gill looks to swat the spinner but the ball hurries into him and strikes him on the pads before he watchfully blocks the last ball.

Robinson in midst of a good spell. The ball hits one of the cracks and stays low to beat Jaiswal on the outside edge. The pacer struggling with his front foot as he bowls his third no-ball.

Bashir makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Gill, who is given out leg before wicket. He doesn't look so confident but decides to go ahead with the review.

Gill came forward to defend but was beaten by the turn and struck on the pads. The point of impact is umpire's call with the ball going on to hit the leg stump as the decision stands.

Gill walks back after scoring 38, having put on 82 runs for the second wicket with Jaiswal.

A much-needed breakthrough for England as India are reduced to 86/2, in the 25th over.

This is a wicket earned by England. They bowled with patience, kept creating chances and finally were rewarded with a big one.

Rajat Patidar desperately needs some runs to keep his place in the team. He comes forward to defend Bashir but gets the inside edge which falls well short of the fielder at standing close in at short midwicket.

A watchful Patidar keeps out the remaining deliveries to end a very good over from Bashir.
