  2. Ind 34-0published at 9 overs

    Rohit responds to the increasing pressure by thumping two boundaries off Wood. The first is a bash over extra cover before a lovely straight drive a ball later.

    Does Rohit feel pressure? It doesn't look like it.

  3. Not outpublished at 08:49 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March 2021

    No. Dhawan has got back. It was a brilliant piece of fielding from Tom Curran at mid-on, however. A sprawling dive to stop the ball and a direct hit.

    England have been good. Really good.

    Is this a run-out? England aren't too excited.

  5. ouch!

    Ind 26-0published at 8.3 overs

    Ben Stokes is the latest player to be howling in pain. Rohit has edged one which has skimmed along the ground and clattered into his lower shin at second slip. That'll hurt too.

    A result from Christchurch, where New Zealand have beaten Bangladesh by five wickets in the second ODI to secure a series victory.

    The tourists posted 271-6 and had New Zealand 53-3 in reply, but a 113-run partnership between Devon Conway and Tom Latham put the hosts in control. Captain Latham was unbeaten on 106 as his side won with 10 balls to spare.

    The series concludes with a final ODI in Wellington on Thursday (22:00 GMT) with three T20s to follow.

  7. dropped catch

    Dhawan dropped on 16published at 8 overs

    That's a really tough chance for Jason Roy at backward point. In fairness he's stopped a boundary as Dhawan hammers a cut.

    It would have taken a Paul Collingwood special.

    Rohit 8, Dhawan 16

    If anyone can beat Tom's efforts with more brilliantly mundane plans for today I'm all ears.

    Rohit is still getting treatment for that blow on the arm.

  9. Ind 23-0published at 6.5 overs

    After a quiet start, India are upping the intent. Dhawan slaps Wood for back-to-back fours through the off side.

  10. Ind 15-0published at 6.3 overs

    Oh yes indeed, Tom. Could a lockdown Tuesdays get any more exciting?

  12. Ind 15-0published at 6 overs

    Rohit 8, Dhawan 7

    After being hit on the pad, Dhawan takes a step down the pitch to Sam Curran. It's a more aggressive move but still only gets the left-hander a single.

    Rohit looks similarly keen to get on with things. He gets down and paddles Curran over short fine leg. Four runs.

    Whenever I hit a batsman - as long as they're clearly OK - I love it. Usually the next ball is short again. I don't feel bad - they don’t feel bad for me when they smack me for 20 off an over.

  14. Ind 10-0published at 5 overs

    Rohit continues after a lengthy delay. Dhawan, pleased his buddy is OK, gives him a glove punch. I'm not sure Rohit appreciated it. That's not what I'd want after being smashed on the arm at 90mph.

    Wood ends the over with two more quick, threatening deliveries. It's another maiden.

  15. ouch!

    Ind 10-0published at 4.4 overs

    Mark Wood has hurt Rohit by zipping one onto his right elbow. India's opening maestro looks grimaces while looking up to the sky. On comes the physio.

    This has been a tidy start from England.

    The pitch looks a good one - there's a little bit of swing for the fast bowlers, with some good bounce and carry. But if the batsmen get in, they can cash in.

  17. Ind 10-0published at 4 overs

    I want to know whether it was an England player who Sam Curran trusted with the hair dye for his new do. Who would you go for? Jos Buttler could probably do it. He can do most things.

    It's a maiden from SCurran.

  19. Ind 10-0published at 3 overs

    Rohit 4, Dhawan 6

    Dhawan broke the ball when hitting that boundary earlier in the over. After a quick change we're back under way. This ground looks to be in the middle of nowhere. There are a few tower blocks peaking through the haze in the distance.

  20. Ind 9-0published at 2.4 overs

    Mark Wood had made a good start but this one was too short and too wide. Shikhar Dhawan cracks away the game's first boundary.
