Ryan @14.26, who needs hitters to come in when Joe Root can do that? Axar Patel is thwacked for a huge six down the ground.

This is what fast bowlers do when they come out to bat. They don't run very well.

Joe Root and Liam Dawson put on 121 (134) for the seventh wicket, rescuing England from 107-6.

Jofra Archer wastes little time in getting off the mark, opening up his body and slashing Prasidh Krishna behind point for four.

The following delivery, he's nearly run out after umming and ahing in his crease before setting off for the non-striker's. A direct hit and it would have been curtains for Archer.

Liam Dawson got unlucky there. He got really deep in his crease but he's been out-thought by the spinner.

Very good innings from him, he's given England a sniff. Little bit unfortunate there, just trying to accelerate.

A very comfortable, straightforward catch for Rohit Sharma.

This partnership is now at 117 which is England's joint fourth highest in ODIs on the seventh wicket and the highest against India at this wicket.

Liam Dawson has faced more deliveries today than he had in his entire previous nine-match ODI career.

Joe Root goes a-scooping again, this time eyeing up a short ball from Prasidh Krishna, but doesn't connect. He pulls the following delivery behind square for four.

It's an untidy over from Krishna. Nine from it, including a boundary and a wide.

"Could get 300 here," says the boss, Higgy.

Another pleasing scoring pattern. Single, single, dot x2.

Joe Root attempts an upright scoopy/rampy thing off the final ball of Gurnoor Brar's over and gets in a complete tangle.

A classic Rootian innings. It's his 66th 50+ score in ODIs, 20 of those leading to centuries.

Only Pat Cummins (16 times) has dismissed Joe Root more frequently than Jasprit Bumrah (15 times) has in international cricket - after surviving the last over, England's number three will be keen to see off Bumrah's final two overs and cash in elsewhere.

Joe Root was dropped early in his innings - on seven or eight - and he's made India pay.

He brings up his half-century off 57 balls with a single.

Dawson could have been the Test number eight, spin-bowling all-rounder, etc, etc.

Liam Dawson plays a dinky paddle to the fine boundary for four. A lovely way to bring up the century partnership.

They want two off the final ball of the over but have to settle for one as Joe Root slips at the non-striker's end. Seven from it.

It looked a bit bleak an hour and a half ago.

Jasprit Bumrah returns to the attack and almost immediately has his arms in the air in frustration, Joe Root nearly, nearly, chopping onto his stumps.

Root capitalises on his lifeline, dispatching Bumrah for a wristy boundary through mid-wicket to bring up England's 200.

It's followed by three singles.

10 overs to go.
