And they will :-
India 97-3 after 26 overs
India 185-3 at tea, Rohit 97 not out, Jadeja 68 not out, both looking well settled. Rohit dropped by Root at slip on 27, a relatively easy chance which has proved costly.
200-3, 167 run partnership
Rohit is seeing the ball as if it was a beachball.
And then a soft dismissal, goes after a bouncer, no timing, and dollies it to mid-wicket where Stokes pouches it.
237-4 from 63.3 overs
Rohit 131 (196)
