  1. 6 runs

    Ind 139-7

    SIX MORE! Hit very hard and flat, pure class that time. Slapped through point.

  2. 6 runs

    Ind 132-7

    50 for Tilak

    Six! Top edged, a bit lucky but that's the risk of putting pace on the ball. Tilak Varma has 50.

  3. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Big call from Buttler to bring back Archer for his last over.

  4. Ind 126-7

    Jofra Archer is back into the attack for his last throw of the dice.

  5. Ind 126-7

    England need three more wickets. India need 40 from 30 balls...

    WICKET

    Axar c Duckett b Livingstone 2 (Ind 126-7)

    A gift.

    The silence is absolutely deafening, the walk off looks long as Axar Patel whacks a nothing ball straight to Ben Duckett on the fence.

  7. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    This match is right in the balance. A wicket will give England an open end. Huge pressure on Livingstone.

  8. Ind 125-6

    Axar 1, Tilak 46

    Livingstone trundles in, keeping it tight. India's required run rate is looking manageable here as Tilak clips away a sweep for four.

  9. Liam Livingstone is coming on.

  10. Ind 119-6

    166 needed to win

    Axar Patel is the new man in and tries to uppercut one away first up.

    WICKET

    Sundar b Carse 26 (Ind 116-6)

    Hello! That might make life interesting once more. Washington Sundar tries to make room to a straight one from Carse and it clatters into the top of off.

    India still need 50.

  12. It's been a good innings from Tilak Varma who is on 40 from 33 balls. Mixed some huge hits with plenty of sharp singles.

  13. Ind 115-5

    It felt like a huge swing in real time. A dropped catch and 31 runs tanked in a few minutes. Impressive from India, shoddy from the tourists.

  14. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Washington Sundar hitting 6, 4, 6 saw a 23% swing on the win predictor in that three ball sequence, bringing the game back to nearly 50-50.

  15. India have bulldozed 31 runs off two overs. Game-changer.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Those last four balls have swung the match in India’s favour. The Rashid drop could be the pivotal moment in this match.

  17. 6 runs

    Ind 113-5

    You've got to take those...

    Heads on hands in the stands and on the field. That's a bad drop. Mark Wood oversteps for a no ball and a free hit to Washington Sundar.

    'We want six runs' scream the crowd - and he delivers! Heaved away to bring the hundred up. And Washington then slaps another four through long off.

    AND AGAIN. BIG.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Calamitous drop from Rashid. That really was the very definition of a sitter.

  19. dropped catch

    Sundar dropped on 10

    Mark Wood back into the attack. England looking for inspiration and he's dropped it!

    Washingon heaves a chip to Adil Rashid - and he can't hang on!

  20. Is that the over that swings the game back India's way?
