India are well set here. Suresh Raina is looking very good.

Dhoni joins the party. He picks the fuller length of Rashid and clubs him over cow and into the stands. Raina follows him, whipping another full ball for six to bring up his 50, off 39 balls. 15 from the over. No wonder Rashid has his arms crossed and hand ruefully over his mouth.

That's a big miss. If Suresh Raina goes on to make a big one, England will rue that.

Rashid puts Raina down, off his own bowling as well! The India batsman clubs one back at the spinner, but it squirms through his grasp. It was hard, but should have been taken.

A bit of intent from both batsmen as they take turns in dancing down the wicket but can't manage to score big. 

The over ends with a dot ball as Dhoni hits the ball straight into his partner at the non-strikers' end. 

Six off the over. 

There's a delay in play as what seems like dozens of ground-staff come running on with ropes to try and clear out some dew. They are dressed in green and come in pairs, with each holding one side of the rope which they drag across the field. 

All this needs is some Benny Hill music. 

More spin, as Adil Rashid is brought into the attack. Raina knows a scoring ball is coming and when it does he is on it in a flash, pushing outside off for four. Other than that, it is a decent first over from the Yorkshire leggy.

We've also been shown a replay of Stokes' delivery to dismiss Rahul. It was a no ball. As you can imagine, the Indian batsman is not a happy man as he watches a monitor in the dug-out.

Moeen is bowling quicker tonight. He doesn't want to be slow through the air and allow the batsmen to get under the ball.

Moeen continues. 

Dhoni has been in for a matter of minutes and already signals to the dressing room for a change of bat. Perhaps he has different piece of wood for the spinners? He also changes headgear, substituting his helmet for a baseball cap. 

It's a great over for England, with just three runs conceded. 

There's a bit of turn on this wicket. 

It is clear that wickets are the key to England keeping India in some kind of check here. The ball is coming on too well to expect to just keep it tight with the same men at the crease.

England would dearly love to quickly be rid of the man who has just strode to the middle - Mr MS Dhoni, who, unlike the previous game, has time to do some damage.

Stokes comes close to that prized scalp thanks to help from the pitch as his last ball keeps low, beats Dhoni's bat but also off stump.

That's a timely wicket because these two were just starting to get going. Rahul was looking to hoick that into the leg side and he just missed it.

That was a massive six. The ball's landed on the roof... we need a new one!

On a pitch like this, with Raina in fine, aggressive form, where do you bowl? Jordan wasn't far off in that last over but twice disappeared into the stands.

Morgan opts for a change of pace, bringing on Moeen for some spin. Make Raina work for his runs. His single brings up the 50 partnership - off 35 balls - before Rahul takea a couple of steps down the track and dispatches Moeen out of the stadium. 98 metres. We won't be seeing that ball again.

11 off the over. This is going to be a big total.

The England players Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes are smiling because it was a mis-hit off the bottom of the bat. You can do that here and it goes for six because the boundaries are so short.

Ind 53-1published at 6 overs

Chris Jordan hadn't gone for a six in any of his nine overs so far in this series. 

But he's gone for two now. 

Raina clubs one with with the bottom of his bat but the small boundary comes to his rescue as it just goes over the head of Stokes on the boundary.

Then Jordan fails to get his line right and Raina flicks one off his hips for another maximum.

Both Moeen and Jordan looked at it but neither went for it in the end. There was half a second where they both thought the other would go for it. It's a shame because they've both got good hands.

Suresh Raina is in full-on combat mode. Ben Stokes is brought on and the India batsman goes straight after him, twice trying to hit him out of the ground and twice mis-timing the ball. Both times it drops safe. Lucky boy.

Raina makes better contact with a cut shot later in the over, sending the ball fizzing past the diving backward point for four. Stokes doesn't help himself, or his side, by delivering two wides in the over. 

After two England-dominated overs, India have won the last three.

The onus is on the experienced players like Raina and Dhoni to get India back on track after that start.

Liam Plunkett, having been recalled to the side at the expense of Liam Dawson, comes into the attack. 

And it's not a great start with two boundaries off the first two balls. KP Rahul flicks the first off his pads and through to the square leg boundary. The second is even classier, giving himself space and hitting it past extra cover for another one-bounce four. 

A bit better from Plunkett in the rest of the over as he goes for 11.
