Opting to bat first, openers Jason Roy (40) and Jonny Bairstow (38) started cautiously as England crossed the 50-run mark in 7.2 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLast match&#39;s hero Kuldeep Yadav drew first for India as he broke the 69-run opening stand in the 11th over. The wrist spinner sent back Bairstow before dismissing his partner - Roy in the 15th over, leaving England at 86\/2.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe finished up with figures of 3\/68 runs while Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Hardik Pandya scalped a wicket each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Root and Morgan stablised the England innings in middle overs with a 103-run partnership for the third wicket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMorgan produced a steady innings, scoring 53 runs off 51 deliveries as England inched towards the 200-run mark.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOnce again, it was Kuldeep who gave the third blow to the hosts, sending back the England skipper in the 31st over, with the scorecard reading 189\/3.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMorgan&#39;s knock was laced with four boundaries and a six.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBen Stokes&#39;s (5) stay at the crease was short lived as Hardik Pandya struck to scalp the all-rounder&#39;s wicket while Umesh and Chahal too, joined the party, dismissing Jos Buttler (4), Moeen Ali (13) respectively.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDespite losing three wickets with the addition of another 50 runs, Root kept England&#39;s scorecard ticking as he forged a 83-run partnership with David Willey.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWilley produced a quickfire innings, smashing 50 runs off 31 balls before being stumped in the final ball of England&#39;s innings.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: England 322\/7 (Joe Root 113 not out, Eoin Morgan 53, David Willey 50; Kuldeep Yadav 3\/68)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/scorecard\/13071962818\/India-in-England-1\">Indian Innings<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
