Iyer finished the day with a bat on Tuesday, as he scored just 6 runs off 9 balls, while India scored 317 for 5 after telling England to bat.

Krunal Pandya (58 *) and KL Rahul (62 *) shared an unbeaten 112-run partnership for the sixth wicket to take India across 300.

Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan (98) missed out on a century and Virat Kohli scored 56 to put India to death.

Rohit was also under control, scoring only 28 runs in 42 balls and forming an early 64-run partnership with Dhawan.

In this match, Krunal also scored the fastest fifty in just 26 balls in 50 balls on ODI debut.

He broke up during an interview during the innings break after which his elder brother and India teammate Hardik Pandya was seen comforting Krunal.

Krunal and Hardik lost their father Himanshu Pandya in January this year.
