Scorecard
Bumrah goes full as Stokes drives it to the fielder in the covers and blocks the next. He taps the fourth ball on the leg side giving him enough to steal a single to mid-on.
Stokes continues to reverse sweep Jadeja as he fails to connect and is hit on the pads. He mishits the next attempting the same shot and misses the shot as the ball goes straight through bouncing over the stumps.
Stokes finally connects off the fourth time but the reverse gets him just a single and Root keeps out the last two balls.
Bumrah continues as Stokes plays a loose shot, throwing his bat at a wide delivery but is beaten on the outside edge. He defends watchfully before clipping the last ball to fine leg for a single.
A lucky escape for Stokes as he gets hit on the gloves attempting to reverse Jadeja. It goes in the air to Stokes' right close to the stumps as Pant loses it and Rahul at leg slip is late to react.
Stokes continues to reverse as he hits the next to deep point for one. Karun Nair poor in the field at short thirdman as he lets the ball go through his legs to gift England a boundary.
