    At least India didn’t bat first, they would’ve probably got 400+

  2. Ind 222-3

    Saqib Mahmood returns to the attack, replacing Mark Wood.

    Two singles from it - no boundaries in the last 12 balls and the required run-rate has scorched up to 4.36 an over.

  3. Thanks Elizabeth.

    Two distinct worms at the 30-over mark, for those interested in vermeology.

  4. Ind 220-3

    Target 305

    So Rohit Sharma has finally been dismissed, but India are just 85 runs shy of the wrapping up the series win.

    Here's Mike Peter to take you through the remainder of their chase.

    WICKET

    Rohit c Rashid b Livingstone 119 (Ind 220-3)

    Rohit Sharma departs!

    The damage, you suspect, has definitely been done but England will be glad to see the back of India's captain.

    Adil Rashid takes a smart catch at mid-wicket off a Liam Livingstone full toss.

    Mark Wood is used as the middle-overs enforcer in this English set-up but he has struggled to find breakthroughs in this phase of the innings. In 10 innings since the start of 2023, he has taken just three wickets between overs 11-40 at an average of 109 while going at 5.8 runs per over.

    Test Match Special commentator

    After those two breakthroughs, normal service has resumed, and India could well hurtle to victory from here.

    Why does it have to be the coach or the captain? Maybe it’s just difficult to beat the best team in the world in their own backyard!

    India too good or England too poor? Maybe a bit of both?

  9. 6 runs

    Ind 218-2

    India need 87 from 21 overs

    Shreyas Iyer finishes the over with a big six. India take Mark Wood's eighth for 17 runs.

    Quite brutal. Over to you, Liam Livingstone.

  10. Ind 210-2

    That's a lovely shot from Shreyas Iyer. It's fast and straight from Mark Wood but Shreyas is up to the challenge, lifting him over mid-on for four.

    And he follows it up with another boundary, this time pulling through mid-wicket.

  11. Ind 201-2

    Target 305

    Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer are happy to block out Liam Livingstone's opening over. One from it.

  12. Ind 200-2

    Jos Buttler throws the ball to Liam Livingstone. Can he halt India?

    Maybe it's not the coach, maybe it's the captain Buttler. This England team has been a downward spiral since Morgan retired.

    Tony, Hull

    Buttler is the problem with this England set up. Not even Bazball can sort out this inherited mess. Total rebuild needed, again!

    Unless something changes quickly, England are heading for *another* white ball series defeat. At what point does Buttler's captaincy come under scrutiny?

  15. Ind 200-2

    Target 305

    200 up for India. They're taking this chase at a canter.

  16. Chapeau Paul. That made me chortle.

    There are few more delicious sights in world cricket than Rohit Sharma in full flow. And today he’s unfurled one of his most sumptuous knocks.

  20. Ind 194-2

    Target 305

    Rohit Sharma's not done yet! Back-to-back fours to finish the over, including an oh-so-cool reverse sweep.
