  1. Jos Buttler needs some control so, unsurprisingly, he's turning to Adil Rashid.

  2. Ind 71-2

    And again!

    That might be the worst over Brydon Carse has bowled all winter.

  3. Ind 67-2

    Punished again.

    England can't get their lengths right.

    This is a half-volley from Brydon Carse which is put away.

  4. Ind 63-2

    The runs really are flowing now.

    Brydon Carse enters the fray and his third delivery is driven elegantly by Shreyas Iyer.

  5. How's stat?!

    Since the start of the Bangladesh series in September 2024, Rohit Sharma has scored 166 runs in 16 innings across all international formats at an average of just 10.4 with one 50+ knock. Between 2023 and the start of that Bangladesh series, he averaged 47.3 in international cricket with 24 scores of more than 50 in 64 innings. The fall has been quite drastic and sudden.

  6. Ind 59-2

    Need 190 runs to win from 41 overs

    Two more bouncers from Jofra Archer, two more boundaries. This time it's Shubman Gill taking a few swings to the England quick's figures.

    The India with this India line-up is that if Rohit or Jaiswal don't get you, one of the others probably will.

    It's time Rohit Sharma should both be stripped of the captaincy and kicked out of the team before the ICC Champions trophy. Next to follow out of the team should be Virat Kohli.

    Hitesh, London

  8. Ind 50-2

    Gill 3, Iyer 23

    Shreyas Iyer pulls Saqib Mahmood for four now with England thinking fine leg was in the game for a while. In the end, Adil Rashid had no chance.

    Jofra Archer continues...

    This has been a serious spell of sustained, probing hostility from Archer, notwithstanding the last two balls. When he bowls like this you can glimpse the Test bowler that England would so dearly love to take to Australia at the end of the year.

  10. 6 runs

    Ind 43-2

    Target 249

    Back-to-back sixes for Shreyas Iyer off Jofra Archer!

    He has come out with his collar turned up and a sweatband on his left forearm. It's giving off Virat vibes and right now he's batting like the great man.

  11. How's stat?!

    That was Jofra Archer's third wicket maiden over in the first 10 overs of an innings in ODIs, and his first since he did it against Bangladesh in 2019 in the World Cup.

  12. Ind 25-2

    Saqib Mahmood looks grumpy with himself after giving new batter Shreyas Iyer a freebie on the pads.

    That WinViz must be encouraging for you England fans, as is this worm...

    WICKET

    Rohit c Livingstone b Mahmood 2 (Ind 19-2)

    Now then.

    Rohit Sharma, who had looked no closer to finding the form lost somewhere on the flight to Brisbane, chips a leg-stump half-volley to mid-wicket.

    England in the game?

    There were eight plays and misses from Yashasvi Jaiswal before finally edging one to Phil Salt. This was also only the second wicket Jofra Archer has taken in the first 10 overs of an innings in ODIs since the start of 2024 in the 26 overs that he has bowled.

  15. Ind 19-1

    Target 249

    Jofra Archer nudges over 91mph as he completes a wicket maiden.

    Quick, accurate and with movement too.

    Brilliant stuff.

  16. With no Virat Kohli today, Shubman Gill is India's number three...

    WICKET

    Jaiswal c Salt b Archer 15 (Ind 19-1)

    Jofra Archer delivers.

    This is a Stuart Broad-style beauty from round the wicket to left-hander Yashasvi Jaiswal. The youngster is squared up, nicks it and Phil Salt snaffles the edge.

    Archer deserves that. He's conceded two runs in his first 15 balls.

  18. Ind 19-0

    Jaiswal 15, Rohit 2

    RohitGetty Images

    Having been kept largely quiet one or two eruptions aside, the India crowd is in full voice now after Yashasvi Jaiswal finds the boundary for the second time in the over.

    Rohit charges Saqib Mahmood to end the over but doesn't get hold of it.

    It already feels like England need a wicket.

  19. Ind 11-0

    Edged wide of second slip!

    The pressure had been building. Jaiswal gets away with one.

  20. Ind 7-0

    Target 249

    Yashasvi Jaiswal gives a quizzical look after the ball dares to beat his bat again.

    My colleagues Mike and Stephan are mid-dispute, meanwhile. "If you didn't moan would you ever speak, Mike?"
