Genuine question: do fans/spectators care about over-rates or is it just pundits/ex-players/journalists whose days are made longer?

Here's a reminder of the latest from the England camp on the injuries to Eoin Morgan and Sam Billings. Both left the field during that innings.
On Morgan: "Eoin has split the webbing between his right thumb and index finger. He has had four stitches inserted by the England team doctor. He expects to be able to bat."
On Billings: “Sam Billings has sprained his collar bone joint. It’s not related to the previous shoulder injury he suffered in 2019. It’s sore, he’s currently receiving treatment and we are hopeful he will be able to bat later.”

I think "expert" is stretching it, Judith.
For what it's worth, I'm saying India have just enough. England to get close but struggle under the pressure of the chase.

Judith Taylor: Right Matt, jump down off that fence and give us your expert prediction.

Sam Rogers: India would have about 400 if they’d not stuttered overs 28-40. Morgan and Billings carrying knocks is a worry. Massive pressure on the top order.

It could have been worse for England but it should really have been better.
India were 169-1 after 32 overs but 205-5 in the 41st.

England T20 bowlerGame on. It was a brilliant debut by Krunal Pandya and a welcome return to form by KL Rahul. There was some good England bowling in the early and middle parts of the innings, Ben Stokes in particular.

Krunal and Hardik are now embraced in a hug on the outfield. Krunal looks to be sobbing. Really emotional.
He batted so well.

Hugely emotional scenes in Pune as Krunal Pandya steps up for a TV interview.
India's debutant is in tears. "It was for my Dad," is all he can say before the interview is cut short.
Hardik and Krunal lost their father in January.

KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya added 112 in the last 9.3 overs.
Interval - Ind 317-5published at 50 overs
A four to finish.
Rahul scoops the ball between Buttler and short fine leg.
India may well be favourites after that big finish. England need 318 to win.
Ind 313-5published at 49.5 overs
Wood has come back well after that first-ball four.
One ball remains...
Not out - Ind 311-5published at 49.4 overs
He's just got back. Good fielding.
Umpire reviewpublished at 49.4 overs
Krunal may have been run out. Has the dive saved him? He doesn't look confident.
Ind 310-5published at 49.3 overs
Fast and into the pads from Wood. Just a leg-bye.
Ind 309-5published at 49.2 overs
Better. Wood finds his yorker.
Ind 308-5published at 49.1 overs
England have lost the plot. One full, one short, one wide, one on the legs.
Pandya whacks Wood away for four to begin the final over.
Ind 304-5published at 49 overs
Shot! Really good shot.
Tom Curran is a smidge away from a perfect yorker but Rahul digs it out and the ball flies all the way for six over long-on.
This has been some charge from India at the end.
