    Ind 92-3

    What an innings this is turning out for Suryakumar Yadav, how do India produce such great hitters of the ball? Well, the IPL, that's how.

    Nevertheless, he's played brilliantly an reaches his half-century with cut through point for four.

    Won’t be happy till there’s a Close Close.

    Ahh, vuvuzelas, those were the days. Now we just have this fake crowd noise with someone who still hasn't quite got the hang of pressing the correct button.

    Suryakumar Yadav plays a well-timed, powerful sweep through square leg for four.

    I used to live at 24 The Ashes opposite Edgbaston. Great for getting to the match on time! Not so good when you're trying to work from home and it's India v Pakistan (remember the vuvuzelas?).

  6. Ind 78-3published at 11 overs

    It was a great comeback from Rashid after his first ball earlier this afternoon went for six.

    Chris Jordan concedes three singles before Suryakumar Yadav scoops one just short of mid-on.

    Just four from the over.

    Cheers, Jack.

    A lot happened in those 10 overs. Rohit Sharma goes cheaply, KL Rahul's struggles continue and Virat Kohli is absolutely bamboozled by Adil Rashid.

    But this Suryakumar Yadav fella, he's got some shots in the locker. With him and big-hitting Rishabh Pant out there, this could be entertaining.

    Finely poised after 10 overs. India going at over seven an over, but Virat Kohli back in the hutch and England bowling well.

    Here's Kal Sajad to take you through the rest of this one.

    Stokes 2-0-14-1

    Fine bowling by Ben Stokes, maintaing a tight line while varying his length and pace to keep the batsemn on their toes.

    Just three singles from the first five balls - and then a fumble from Jonny Bairstow allows Rishabh Pant to snatch a second from the last.

    Jos Buttler’s laugh as he whipped the bails off should be available as a ringtone.

    Thought that Kohli might stand his ground claiming his shadow was over the line.

    Rashid 3-1-26-1

    Rishabh Pant can't get off the mark from his first two deliveries.

    Sublime over by Adil Rashid - a wicket maiden, with just two leg byes to India's tally.

    Pressure back on the hosts.

    It's very rare to see Kohli miss a delivery by that much, he was a long way off that. A huge wicket for Rashid and England.

    Kohli st Butter b Rashid 1 (Ind 70-3)

    Oh Adil Rashid doesn't just create a chance, he creates THE chance.

    Virat Kohli is gone!

    The India skipper dances down the pitch, Rashid spots it and sends down a slow googly that slides past Kohli's ugly flay.

    Jos Buttler collects and completes an easy stumping.

    And that's what happens when you back your spinner no matter what.

    Adil Rashid has been expensive - 26 off his two overs so far.

    But Eoin Morgan backs him all the way. Can the leg-spinner create a chance or two here?

  19. Ind 68-2published at 8 overs

    Virat Kohli gets off the mark with a single to long-on.

    Suryakumar Yadav continues to blast away as he sumptuously drives on the up through the covers for four.

    That’s criminal in T20 cricket - use up loads of balls in the powerplay and then get out. To score 14 from 17 balls is almost - in context - his worst innings of the series.
