That will settle any nerves Harry Brook might have been feeling.
He crunches Varun Chakravarthy over extra cover for six.

It sometimes feel as though any attacking shot at all will lead to people saying England are too reckless. It’s limited over cricket being played by naturally attacking batsmen, you can’t criticise them every time they get out going for a big shot!

India have really put the brakes on England's scoring since moving to spin from both ends. The past four overs have cost just 13 runs and brought the big wicket of Ben Duckett.
CricViz analyst
You would expect Ben Duckett to take on his favorable match-up versus Ravindra Jadeja, but in his ODI career, he has been dismissed by left-arm spinners on five occasions at an average of just 26.8.
Interestingly, against off-spinners, that average jumps to 128.0.
Out of the eight times that he has crossed 50 in his ODI career, Duckett has now been dismissed between 60 and 75 on five occasions.

Anybody else having a Deja vu moment ?

A huge lbw shout against Harry Brook on 0.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have a conference but don't take it. That looked close.
Harry Brook will definitely want a big innings here, Guido.
So far in India this winter, he's scored 0, 2, 51, 8, 13, and 17.

I think we need 340+ to win this game, India could easily chase down 300 with the talent they have got. I can see a big innings from Brook here.

Once again Duckett throws away a really good start. He just didn’t quite go through with the shot, and again, England have to regroup.
That's a huge over for India, with Ravindra Jadeja taking the big wicket of Ben Duckett.
Harry Brook is the new man in for England. He's in need of runs.
Duckett c Hardik b Jadeja 65 (Eng 102-2)
Ravindra Jadeja makes the breakthrough in his first over.
Ben Duckett tries to take on a slower ball but doesn't get hold of it and can only find Hardik Pandya at long-on.
Oof. That was interesting from Ben Duckett. He gets down on one knee for a scoop and misses it. It's close to the stumps but is called a wide.
Here comes Ravindra Jadeja…

Jar @09:07 I know what you should do – get back in there and pray for more runs

Chakravarthy continues to befuddle England’s batters. They simply haven’t yet found a method against him.
This has been a very tight start from Varun Chakravarthy. He has 1-16 from his opening four overs.
Ben Duckett is playing very nicely. A flick of the wrists and a decent ball from Harshit Rana goes for four.
Six runs off the over.

Just got out of mass and didn’t know what had happened. Turn on the live text, Salt goes, Root gets reviewed first ball and Duckett almost gets caught. I know what to do, don’t worry.

Does anyone remember the game stick cricket? Where you would smash around the fast bowlers and then lose all your wickets to the spinners. That's how this England line up plays.
Paul, Surrey
That's three overs without a boundary for England.
It'll be interesting to see how they play this situation. Will they embrace the patient approach?
