Ind 150-2 (37 ovs) & 224 vs Eng 247 | Scorecard
Overton continues the short ball strategy to Akash Deep, who ducks under, before another high bouncer is ruled a wide.
Akash Deep opens the face of the bat to slap the pacer past point for a single and Jaiswal blocks the last ball.
Atkinson bowls a beauty, getting the ball to move away quite a bit and open up Akash Deep completely before beating him on the edge.
Atkinson goes wide as Akash Deep slaps it past point for a boundary and repeats the shot two balls later for another four to move into the 40s for the first time in his Test career.
England will need some control from Overton, who has gone at more than four per over in the nine overs he has bowled so far.
Jaiswal, on 80, has gone on the defensive and continues the approach as he plays out a maiden over from Overton.
