Joe Root walks out to bat at number 3.
Jasprit Bumrah to Jason Roy, OUT! PLAYS IT ON! Bumrah strikes in the very first over and it is Roy who falls for a duck! That is the perfect start for the visitors. This is full and outside off, Roy, with no foot movement, goes after this away from the body, he gets an inside edge and this crashes into the off pole. A poor shot by Roy but that is how he plays. He has not had the best of times against India so far.
Jasprit Bumrah to Jason Roy, That has come in a long way and cut Roy into half! On a length again and just outside off, Roy looks to push at it, leaves a gap between bat and pad. It sneaks through but just misses the off pole.
Jasprit Bumrah to Jason Roy, Going down leg! A big booming inswinger but this ends up being on the pads. Roy looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.
Jasprit Bumrah to Jason Roy, Not a lot of carry for Bumrah on the first ball! Outside off, left alone. Pant takes it near his feet.
Jasprit Bumrah will bowl from the other end.
Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, A gem of a delivery to end! Unplayable! Length, on off, this one lands and moves away. Bairstow is beaten all ends up as he tries to block. Good from Jonny too. He is looking to play right under his eyes and not pushing at the ball. End of the first and it is a good start for England.

Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! That is timed brilliantly! A little bit of width on offer and Bairstow does not miss out. First boundary of the game and Jonny Bairstow is underway in style. Shorter and outside off, Bairstow guides it past point and the outfield here is very fast, it races away.
Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, That is sharp! A good bumper, really goes through nicely. Bairstow evades it. Wobbles a bit as it passes the batter. Hits Pant's hand as he leaps to his right and luckily it does not cost his side runs.
Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, WIDE! Another inswinger but this is down the leg side. Bairstow misses the flick. Wided.
Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, This time gets it to hold its line. On a length again and on off, Jonny Bairstow waits and then guides it to point.
Mohammad Shami to Jonny Bairstow, That one comes back in! The length though is just a tad short. Jonny Bairstow looks to defend but gets an inside edge onto the pads.
We are ready for action to get underway! The players have made their way out in the middle. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow will open the batting for England. Mohammad Shami will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!
Mohammad Shami to Jason Roy, England are underway courtesy a leg bye! On the pads, Roy looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and goes down to fine leg for one.
