17.1: Deepak Hooda to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! FIFTY FOR BAIRSTOW! This has been a very good knock from Bairstow. One of his slowest fifties but he has surely decided to do the job himself. A much-needed boundary too as this will calm a lot of nerves. Short on middle, Bairstow goes on his back foot and swats it over square leg for a boundary.

Ashwin still swings but gets a thick outside edge. Bairstow jumps and takes the catch.
