  1. Ind 103-5

    It's still only singles and dots...

  2. Ind 101-5

    Jos Buttler turns to the increasingly trusty Brydon Carse in his latest bowling switch.

    Jofra Archer has one over left. That will be crucial.

    Before Adil Rashid's first over India: 45% England: 55%

    After Rashid's first over India: 30% England: 70%

    After Rashid's second over India: 29% England: 71%

    After Rashid's third over India: 23% England: 77%

    After Rashid's fourth over India: 6% England: 94%

    Excellent spell from Adil Rashid. It's the seventh time in his T20I career that he's not conceded a boundary in his four overs in a T20I, the first instance against India.

  4. Ind 100-5

    Pandya 22, Axar 5

    No boundaries come in the rest of Overton's over so England will probably take it.

    India need 72 runs from the last five overs.

  5. Ind 98-5

    "Har-dik! Har-dik! Har-dik!" are the chants from the crowd.

    Jamie Overton continues to bang it in halfway down.

  6. Ind 94-5

    Is this the start of India's charge?

    The first ball of the 15th over, bowled by Jamie Overton, is clubbed for four by Hardik Pandya.

  7. Not out

    Missing leg! It was turning too much.

    England are out of reviews and Adil Rashid finishes with a majestic 1-15 from four overs.

  8. No bat...

    It's close...

  9. England review

    Huge appeal for lbw from Adil Rashid and Phil Salt!

    Axar hasn't hit this, has he? It's close if not.

  10. Eleanor Oldroyd
    BBC cricket presenter

    Beautiful bowling by Adil Rashid, and how crucial was that partnership of 24 between him and Wood? From 147-9 to 171-9. Just that bit of extra scoreboard pressure that can make all the difference.

  11. Ind 86-5

    Adil Rashid, who has only conceded 11 runs so far, begins his final over.

    India might just see him off.

  12. Ind 86-5

    Need 86 runs from 42 balls

    But more good fielding off the final delivery means it's just one run from Jamie Overton's over.

    Gold dust.

    Hardik has 12 from 19 now. He's backing himself for a big finish.

  13. Not out

    As we suspected.

    It is a dot ball at least.

  14. Hardik continues to chomp on his gum. This is missing leg stump.

  15. England review

    Jos Buttler has been tempted into an lbw shout against Hardik Pandya.

    Pandya is the dangerman but this looks very optimistic.

  16. Ind 85-5

    WinViz has England as having an 89% chance of winning.

    That's bold, even with two more dot balls from Overton.

  17. Axar Patel is next in.

    He has batted in the top four previously but India are batting themselves into a hole.

    Sundar c Buttler b Overton 6 (Ind 85-5)

    Rajkot falls silent!

    Washington Sundar just never got going and he departs after hitting a Jamie Overton slower ball into the air.

    Overton's batting left a lot to be desired but he has bowled well here.

  19. Ind 85-4

    Need 87 more runs in 48 balls

    Brilliant over.

    Can England clone Adil Rashid and keep him forever?

    Adil Rashid's recent record against India is far better than earlier in his career. In T20Is against India until 2021, Rashid had seven wickets in 11 matches at 40.1 average. In his last five matches, he has five wickets at a significantly lower average of 18.8.
