8th over: England 41-0 (Cook 16, Jennings 20) Ashwin on for one over before lunch, delivering to Cook. That stoush from Edgbaston didn’t have much of a chance to evolve at Lord’s with the opener out before the tweaker was used, from memory. So this should be good. Not this time around though, Cook taking the one on offer to mid-off first ball. Jennings does well defending from the crease, tucking a couple to midwicket when the spinner lands too straight. The tourists will get one more in before they lunch.
7th over: England 38-0 (Cook 15, Jennings 18) 38 runs in seven overs after ripping through the tail with 4/22 earlier – a great morning for the hosts. Jennings is looking more comfortable after the driven boundary in Shami’s previous set, pushing two to begin then steering another four behind point. It’s described as an edge on the radio but I reckon he was in control. He deflects a couple more in that direction to finish. Solid.
