    ANOTHER WIDE!! WHAT IS THAKUR DOING? Incredible!!

  3. Eng 175-7published at 19.3 overs

    Target 186

    Wide!!!! 11 off 3 needed.

    For some reason Kohli is off the pitch so Rohit is orchestrating the field and is in discussions with his bowler. Archer waits patiently. Here we go...

    Ese: Could Jofra Archer be the unlikely hero?

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 174-7published at 19.3 overs

    Archer smashes Thakur for six!! He can't ... can he? Will he?

    12 needed from three. 11 to go to a super over.

  8. Eng 168-7published at 19.2 overs

    Archer finds the boundary. 18 runs needed from four balls.

    I tell you what, I think we'll all chip in and buy him another gold chain if he manages this.

    If England lose today, they'll have to look at themselves individually, as it's a missed opportunity. But most significantly, I think Matt has got to look at himself here. Crazy message to send with the game at that stage.

    Archer slaps it through wide third man for four but the tourists still need 23 from the final over.

    A deflated looking England dugout.

    Target 186

    Archer's giving it a go but, much like those before him today, he has no answer for the slower balls and cutters.

    England need MS Dhoni right now!

    Swing and a miss from Jof. Done by the slower ball.

  14. Eng 153-7published at 18 overs

    Hardik Pandya finishes with 2-16 from his four overs. Jofra Archer the new man in and it's the first time he's batted for England in a T20 match. Remarkable, that.

    S Curran b Pandya 3 (Eng 153-7)

    Looks like we're going to a series decider. Sam Curran plays across the line, it hits bat, pad and then middle stump.

    Paul Roberts: If Morgan and England are really serious about winning the T20 World Cup they need to put away their collective egos and put Alex Hales at number 3.

  18. Eng 153-6published at 17.4 overs

    Jordan runs a single to bring Sam Curran on strike. He's opened the batting in the IPL before but, with 33 needed in 14 balls, he'll have to pull off something incredible here.

  19. Eng 152-6published at 17.3 overs

    Overthrow! Pant fails to cleanly pick up a throw from the deep and England turn a one into two.

    Jordan top edges the ball into no man's land and England are gifted two more.
