  1. Eng 54-0

    The injury is just causing this to feel a bit manic.

    Four byes sneak through now.

  2. Rohit Sharma switches to spin early. Here's Washington Sundar.

  3. Eng 48-0

    Target 357

    Duckett can only laugh as he hobbles, having missed the final ball by a mile.

    Remember England's Champions Trophy opener is 10 days away. Their final group game is a week after that.

  4. Eng 48-0

    Ben Duckett cannot walk, his limp is getting worse, but he certainly can pull and cut.

    Make that four fours in a row.

  5. Eng 44-0

    Martin's not convinced but if these two keep this up, they could knock a decent chunk off the chase.

    Ben Duckett limps and chews on his gum after crashing three more fours.

    No chance for England. They will fall far short of 357. However they have a benchmark now in all these games against India. McCallum will be under no illusion how far the white ball team deteriorated under Mott. Much better foundations to build from to address the huge gap in quality between these two sides.

  7. Eng 32-0

    Salt 9, Duckett 17

    There have only been two singles so far, probably an indication of England's tactics but also the state of Ben Duckett's groin.

    Phil Salt swings hard at his former IPL team-mate Harshit again and Rohit Sharma soon gives up the chase.

    It has been a decent start.

    Why are people finding it difficult to understand that Root has bowled today because England intend to use more batting in Pakistan which means overs need to come from the likes of Root especially with Bethell out. His first overs can't come in the tournament! Mark Wood is not a death bowler because he has no variations and the ball would fly all over with no swing at the end of the innings.

  9. Eng 26-0

    Inside edge this time. Four more to Ben Duckett.

    He's going to keep swinging.

  10. Eng 22-0

    A scoop for four by Ben Duckett...

    He's still limping but is scoring well for now.

  11. Eng 18-0

    Target 357

    Arshdeep Singh has this new ball moving and this big crowd ooohing as he builds the dots to Phil Salt.

    Despite four leg byes it's looking like a good over from India's left-arm quick until Salt clatters the final ball for four.

  12. How's stat?!

    A target of 350+ has been chased on 10 occasions in ODI history. Three of the 10 have been managed by England.

  13. Eng 10-0

    Target 357

    England have already lost Jacob Bethell for the Champions Trophy. They have worries over Jamie Smith's calf too, although the word is he could have played today had it been a World Cup final.

  14. Eng 10-0

    And that's a lovely shot!

    Shorter from Harshit Rana and pulled for four by Ben Duckett.

  15. Eng 6-0

    Duckett protects that groin by flicking the next delivery to the boundary.

    No running necessary there.

  16. Eng 2-0

    Now Duckett is hit close to the groin he was grasping earlier. England's left-hander is limping badly.

  17. Eng 2-0

    Harshit Rana's first ball keeps horribly low, leaving Phil Salt swinging at fresh air but more worryingly clattering into wicketkeeper KL Rahul's bent knee.

    That has hurt Rahul.

  18. Eng 1-0

    Salt 1, Duckett 0

    Ben Duckett looked to have tweaked a groin earlier but he has come out to bat. One to keep an eye on.

    It's an unexpectedly quiet start from England's openers, who take just a single from Arshdeep Singh's opening over.

  19. Eng 0-0

    Target 357

    Thanks Mike.

    This is obviously a massive target but what I will say is this is a chaser's ground.

    New Zealand knocked off 283 for the loss of one wicket in 36.2 overs here against at the 2023 World Cup. The dew came down big time that day.

  20. Right, it's almost time to get going again.

    With England set to chase 357, it's time to hand you over to Matthew Henry for the start of their reply.
