50 partnership for Alex Hales 58* and Jonny Bairstow 34* from 12.3 overs
England 133-5 (44.3 overs)
Slow going for England.
Three an over - pretty standard test scoring rate, happy with that.

Hit in front of middle and leg... but it's just going down... phew!
He is batting outside his crease and got a long way down.
Good use of DRS.

Jonny gets a LIFE on 70.
59.4 Pradeep to Bairstow, no run, dropped! A big let-off as Pradeep can't cling onto a scuffed drive, just to his left in the followthrough. I think he fell over his feet in his excitement. Bairstow threw his hands through the shot without getting to the pitch
