    17.5 The gambit does pay off for England! Change of angle works for Jacks. Fossed up around middle and leg, Rohit looks for the sweep and gets a top edge that lobs up for a simple catch for Buttler moving to his left. Rohit's scratchy knock comes to an end, as does a 60-run partnership between India's two seasoned batters 104/2
    7.4 that's the end of Gill today and it's Duckett at cover with a sharp catch! He was looking so good and this delivery is a half-volley ripe for the cover drive, Gill hit it flat and hard but in the air to the fielder in the circle 44/1
    31.4 Oh, he's out next ball! Kohli tries to play across the line again, and this time he top edges the short of a length ball. It swirls in the air down to deep third where Adil Rashid runs in and completes an easy catch. Kohli's played a top innings but England now have an opening 178/4
    20.3 Kishan's struggles come to an end! Short ball does him in! 128kph bouncer on off, Kishan tries to take him on with a pull this time but it lobs up off the toe end and Curran takes the return catch. England have picked up a couple of quick wickets here! 111/3
    43.3 Tame, tame dismissal for Iyer, and Atkinson gets the big wicket! Length ball outside off and Iyer just pokes at it. The ball takes the outside edge and it's easy pickings for Buttler. Iyer will feel disappointed he's not going to be around to see India through the full 50 overs 233/9
    32.4 Another batter done in by the short ball. Mahmood bangs it in. It gets up high on Washington Sundar, who tries to hook and gets a glove that lobs up tamely for Jos Buttler to catch 181/5
    35.4 Another batter falls to the short ball! Axar tried to ramp this one over the wicketkeeper, but ended up just feathering it through to Jos Buttler behind the stumps, India's allrounder strategy is not working today 193/6
    35.5 He's out, first ball! Archer doesn't go short this time. He goes fuller, and Dube drives that from his crease and ends up hitting it straight back to Archer, who takes a sharp catch to his right ... India in freefall. I wonder if Dube was expecting the short ball from Archer. He was hanging back in his crease, but Archer did the unexpected 193/7
    40.2 And Brar's fun has come to an end! Looks to take on this full ball outside off, trying to go inside out, but ends up scything it to Atkinson at deep point! 210/8

    43.6 Cleaned up! And England need 234 to win this and level the series. Simple plan to the tail-ender, firing it in full on the stumps. Off the last ball of the over, Prasidh reckons it's a free hit and has a mighty swing across the line. He misses, and his leg stump is pegged back. Three for Atkinson as well, and it's been brilliant from England today! 233/10

    0.1 He struck first ball!! Pitching on a good length from over the wicket, angling across the left-hander. Duckett hangs his bat out at it without any footwork - rooted to the crease - and gets a thin edge through to Ishan Kishan. The perfect start to India's defence 0/1
    3.4 the change of angle to around the wicket works! The short of a length ball climbs on Bethell and he tries to defend on the back foot, gets a thin edge through to Ishan Kishan ... India right in this now 8/2

    10.4 And the scoop brings about Brook's downfall! He's been like a cat on a hot tin roof today, shuffling around and trying different things. The scoop in particular. He got a six off one. Got hit on the helmet when he missed one, and now he's lobbed it to Kishan! Back of length outside off it goes off the inside half of the bat to the 'keeper as Broot makes a meal of this! Big, big wicket for India! 53/3
    19.1 Dube with the breakthrough! Curran nicks behind! Full ball angled across Curran pokes at it. Gets an edge and Kishan does really well to hold onto this! Dube has delivered a wicket at a crucial juncture! 94/4
    25.4 He's bowled him! Buttler clears his front foot and aims for the big slog, aiming to hit down the ground. Large gap between bat and pad, and Axar slides through it to hit the stumps. 125/5
    39.6 India finally have the breakthrough. Brar gets it with a short of a length ball, Jacks backing away towards the leg side to hit over the offside, and he ends up just slapping it to cover. 197/6
