Jake Ball was the most successful among the England bowlers with figures of 3/67 while fellow pacers David Willey and Ben Stokes returned 2/47 and 2/73 respectively. Chasing a difficult target, the hosts were off to a poor start with the England pacers striking early blows. The perennially underperforming Shikhar Dhawan was the first to go, edging Willey to Moeen Ali at third man. Willey dismissed Lokesh Rahul -- the other Indian opener -- in his very next over with an inswinging full length delivery that uprooted the middle stump. Credit: IANS

Comeback man Yuvraj Singh seemed to be in decent touch during his 12-ball stay in the middle that produced 15 runs. But he was done in by a poor piece of shot selection, edging a Stokes delivery which was sailing down the leg side to England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. Ball clinched the coveted wicket of Mahendra Singh Dhoni when the former India captain misjudged the bounce of a short-pitched delivery while attempting a pull. The ball took the upper edge and lobbed up for an easy catch to Willey at midwicket as the hosts lost almost their entire top order by the 12th over. Credit: IANS
