England vs spin today:
Jos Buttler - 36 runs, 24 balls, 1 dismissal - 150 strike rate, 2 x 4s, 2 x 6s
Other batters - 29 runs, 49 balls, 4 dismissals - 60 strike rate, 2 x 4s, 1 x 6s
Just one more to end the over meaning Arshdeep Singh finishes with 2-17 from four overs.
As everyone first thought.
India are out of reviews, for what it's worth.
Arshdeep Singh fires one in at Jofra Archer's bootlaces.
I think Archer got outside the line of off stump, thus meaning he cannot be out lbw, but India want another look.

Completely forgot the cricket was on, just got in from grocery shopping with the wife. Trudging around the frozen section seems so much more appealing now I’ve seen the score. Dismal.

A lovely shot from Adil Rashid gives England's fans a rare four to cheer.
Did you know he has 10 first-class hundreds?

India's catching has been excellent today, taking every opportunity offered up to them - they've been one of the most improved fielding units in T20Is, raising their catch success from 78% in the 2022 T20 World Cup to 84% during their winning campaign last year.
Jofra Archer gets a single to start the penultimate over from Arshdeep Singh.
The Joe Root debate will always rumble on but is he in England's best T20 side? England moved on a long time ago.
Their skill against spin has been what has cost them today, however, not any plan or tactics.

So we're in India and Joe Root (probably our best player of spin) is in South Africa. Why?
Pete in Keighley
Joe Root will join England for the ODI series against India. He last played a T20 international in May 2019.
Varun Chakravarthy finishes with a superb 4-23 from four overs. Far too good.
And now England are relying on a rescue job from Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer.
Buttler c Reddy b Chakravarthy 68 (Eng 109-8)
India have been so good in the field.
It was there to hit - a short ball by Varun Chakaravarthy - but Buttler didn't get it far enough away from Nitish Kumar Reddy at deep square leg.
Jos Buttler is out!
They're just checking the catch in the deep. It looked perfectly fine and Buttler is already on the boundary edge.
Well that's a good start.
High into the stands by England's captain.
It won't get any easier. Varun Chakaravarthy is back for his final over.
What can Buttler manage?

The agony for Gus Atkinson is over. Another wicket for Axar Patel while Jos Buttler watches from the other end.
Atkinson st Samson b Axar 2 (Eng 103-7)
Gus Atkinson is put out of his misery. He has another swish, misses again and is miles out of his crease having run down the pitch.
At least that means Buttler will be on strike for the next over.
That was coming a mile off.
As the pressure builds Gus Atkinson heaves a sweep, misses and somehow isn't bowled.
He gets four helpful byes.
Gus Atkinson is the latest to struggle against spin.
He has two from 11 balls as four more dots come.
