Jadeja to Jamie Smith, SIX, England have Bazballed India into giving up! Look at the smile from Jamie Smith, he goes to Root who is all smiles too. They hug each other. Trescothick and Jeetan Patel hug Stokes.

W
Jadeja to Stokes, out Caught by Gill!! Stokes falls to the reverse-sweep. He wanted to play only one way against Jadeja, perishes. It's slower and fuller outside off, into the footholes, Stokes goes for the reverse-sweep and it's a top-edge and a simple catch to short third. Gill is elated after taking that. Another twist in this game? The field was strengthened before this ball for that reverse-sweep and Stokes gets out immediately. Stokes c Gill b Jadeja 33(51) [4s-4]

4
Jadeja to Root, FOUR, bad bounce for Karun at backward point and that won't please Jadeja at all. Tossed up full outside off, Root gets forward and opens the face of the bat, it seemed to be a fairly straightforward stop until it hit a part of the turf and bounced awkwardly, slips away and goes for four. Karun shakes his head

65.2
Jadeja to Stokes, 1 run, now hits the reverse-sweep straight to the fielder at deep backward point and takes one
65.1
Jadeja to Stokes, no run, Pant had no idea where the ball was! Off the glove and on to the right arm, it lobs up in the air and KL is late to pick it as well, watches it fall tantalisingly short. Was a golden chance to get Stokes, he goes for the reverse-sweep and it's off the glove and then off the arm. Wasn't far from Pant but he never saw it under the lid as it went straight up

Jadeja to Stokes, no run, Stokes takes the reverse-sweep on, it's a thick bottom-edge and it runs just wide of off-stump, close shave
61.4
Jadeja to Root, 3 runs, Jadeja is livid with Shardul at mid-on. And rightly so. Flicked to his right and he overruns the ball and slips, the ball slips away to his left and he takes his own time to get up, that's what angers Jadeja, who screams at Shardul, Root is aware and they pinch three. Shardul took a while to get up and Root sensed the chance to convert the 2nd into a 3rd. Shardul just smiles at Jadeja and seems to plead his case
61.3
Jadeja to Root, no run, cracker! Absolute peach. Was there an outside-edge? Drift in, pitches on a good length, hint of turn away, Root gets forward to defend and there was a noise as ball went next to bat, but Pant drops it. Need UltraEdge to find out if there was an edge, also bat was next to pad too
61.2
Jadeja to Root, no run, wow! Phew. Gill is shocked at the ball-tracking. India now have no reviews left. This is how Root used to get out to Jadeja in India. Misses the slider as he gets forward to defend, rapped on the pads in front of middle and leg, ball-tracking shows it to be missing the stumps, going over. Was that bouncing so much? Gill and the Indians can't quite believe their eyes as they watch it on the big screen. Umpire Gaffaney shook his head even as Jadeja kept appealing, he convinced Gill to go for it. With the impact around the kneeroll, hard to see that bouncing so high - especially from a good length area, but that's what ball-tracking shows
61.1

55.5
Jadeja to Stokes, no run, that was close too! Flatter delivery outside off, zips off the deck again as Stokes plants his leg outside off looking to reverse-sweep, he misses and it just bounces over the stumps and hits Pant on the chest, Stokes is premeditating the reverse-sweep here

55.2
Jadeja to Stokes, no run, review lost! Poor review from India, Gill wasn't sure about this, Sai Sudharsan was the only man convinced and Gill went by the former's instincts. Loud cheer from the crowd as soon as the first replays come up, came right off his forearm. Good length delivery outside off, exploded off the deck again as Stokes leant across attempting a reverse-sweep, lobbed off his forearm and went straight to Sai at short leg. UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat although it was quite close to the toe end. India have just one review left

6

Tossed up full and just outside off, Duckett leans in and brings out the reverse-sweep again, puts it into the gap at backward point and it screams to the ropes. Duckett leaps in the air pumps his fist in joy, takes his helmet off and raises his bat, pretty measured celebration after the initial release of emotions.
