Play all audios:
Earlier, choosing to bat first on winning the toss, England sailed along merrily and were 116 for one when they started losing wickets in bunches mainly against the home team spinners to be
left struggling at 165 for six, three overs past the halfway mark of their allotted quota. Openers Jason Roy (25) and Alex Hales (51) got the visitors off to another good start of 42 and
then the latter and one-down batsman Jonny Bairstow (64) took the score past the 100-mark before the slump began. In 12 overs, England squandered five wickets – including that of captain
Eoin Morgan for a duck, his second successive flop in two games. Only Ben Stokes (38) stood solid among the middle order. He and Chris Woakes (16) took the score close to 200 before in
another slide England lost three more wickets before the 40th over with only 211 on the board. The last wicket partnership of 71 in just under ten overs between Adil Rashid (39) and left
handed David Willey, who remained unbeaten on 38, helped England advance to a competitive score in the end.
