The ball hit Dhoni. However, the Indian captain too it in good spirits and got on with the game.

Root looked comfortable and at the crease to begin with. He was scoring well and was looking good for a hundred.

Morgan on the other hand was going well and completed a steady half century. However, he hit a full toss from Kuldeep straight into the hands of mid wicket fielder and had to walk off the field.

Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler were also soon dismissed. Currently Moeen Ali and Joe Root are at the crease and if wickets don’t tumble, England are looking good for a big total.
