  1. Eng 161-8

    Overton 17 (10), Rashid 8 (4)

    Smacked down the ground!

    Harshit Rana changes ends and Jamie Overon smears his first ball for four.

  2. Eng 157-8

    25 needed off 12 balls

    Back comes Arshdeep Singh, India's record T20 wicket-taker.

    England can only work him for five singles from his first five balls, but Adil Rashid clubs his final delivery over mid-wicket.

    Replays show the ball landing flat on the boundary sponge - that's six, and vital runs for England.

  3. Eng 146-8

    36 needed from 18 balls

    Adil Rashid in at ten - he has the same number of first-class hundreds, you know.

    He sees out the final ball of the over as Ravi Bishnoi finishes with figures of 3-28.

    England need exactly two a ball.

    Chopped-on...

    Ravi Bishnoi has Jofra Archer with his penultimate ball of the innings, seeing the England bowler slice the ball onto his stumps.

    England's options are running out.

  5. 6 runs

    Eng 145-7

    That's why England fancy Jamie Overton in this position.

    He cleaves Ravi Bishnoi over long-on for six.

    Everyone keeps saying how brilliant Bethell is. But all I see is someone who scores really slowly until getting out. Am I missing something? How long are people able to just say "honestly he is really good" without any evidence

  7. Eng 137-7

    45 needed from 24 balls

    Jofra Archer out to wield his willow.

    He has to duck away from his first ball though, a sharp bouncer from Harshit Rana.

    Surely this concussion substitute rule has to be looked at. It has to be like for like, or the substitute not be allowed to bat or bowl. Can fully understand the anger in the England camp

    Bethell c Suryakumar b Harshit 6 (Eng 137-7)

    Jacob BethellReuters

    The controversial concussion sub strikes again!

    A slower ball from Harshit Rana and Jacob Bethell hits the ball high in the air.

    India captain Suryakumar Yadav is under it at long-on, and he takes his second catch of the day.

  10. How's stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    England have now lost 12 wickets to Varun Chakravarthy in this series, only Jason Holder (15 wickets) has taken more wickets in a T20I series against England.

  11. Eng 133-6

    49 needed from 30 balls

    WinViz is firmly in India's favour at this moment.

    Meanwhile Jamie Overton is the next man in - he defends the final ball of the over and that's Varun Chakravarthy's day done.

    He finishes with figures of 2-28.

    Brydon CarseGetty Images

    A second wicket in the over for Varun Chakravarthy!

    Brydon Carse comes to the crease and sees his first ball run away for four leg byes.

    He's dismissed from the second, chipping to Rinku Singh at deep square leg.

    Carse kicks the air in frustration, while the home crowd are jubilant.

    Brook c Arshdeep b Chakravarthy 51 (Eng 129-5)

    Fifty and out for Harry Brook!

    He brings up his half-century from 25 balls, sweeping Varun Chakravarthy for four.

    But the India leg-spinner has his man from the following delivery - Brook goes to ramp, falling backwards as he does so, and only manages to chip the ball into the hands of Arshdeep Singh at short fine leg.

    What's the precedent here for a dubious sub replacement? Would England look to challenge the result? Is there any precedent for this?

    Peter in Durham

  15. How's stat?!

    Harshit Rana has batted three times in T20s - once at number 10 and twice at number 11.

    He has replaced Shivam Dube, who came in at number six, as a like-for-like player.

  16. Eng 124-4

    Harry Brook lashes Harshit Rana's final ball through point.

    Absolute nonsense from India. Dubé carried on batting, then they decide he has concussion, so India swap him for a bowler. And not a single Indian commentator will question it. Embarrassing.

  19. Eng 106-4

    76 needed from 42 balls

    Hundred up for England as Harry Brook takes a first ball single to mid-on off Varun Chakravarthy.

    He follows up by clouting the leggie to the mid-wicket boundary for four.

  20. How's stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Shivam Dube has bowled in only 20 of his 63 T20 appearances since the start of 2024, Harshit Rana has bowled in 24 of his 25 T20 appearances by comparison.
