84th over: England 357-4 (Root 81, Stokes 3) Root sweeps Jadeja into the deep for three runs, Kamboj nearly makes a hash of the boundary fielding but has his blushes spared by a millimetre or two right in front of the ‘Party stand’. They are loosening up in there by the look/sounds of it.
83rd over: England 353-4 (Root 78, Stokes 2) Root clips a single but England are watchful against Sundar.
82nd over: England 352-4 (Root 77, Stokes 2) Gill stays with spin, Stokes goes deep in his crease and gets off the mark with two runs poked past slip. Feels like a different game now, England still trail by nine runs.
