  1. Ind 327-5published at 49 overs

    H Pandya 30, K Pandya 8

    Tom Curran ends with 2-83.

    One over to go. Topley will bowl it.

  2. Ind 325-5published at 48.5 overs

    I give up.

    The wide yorker worked but Tom Curran follows it with a wide, length ball. It's clobbered by Krunal.

  3. Ind 321-5published at 48.4 overs

    Better from Curran who finds that wide yorker again. Buttler applauds his bowler.

  4. 6 runs

    Ind 320-5published at 48.2 overs

    Don't bowl in the slot to Hardik Pandya. Tom Curran is smashed away. Buttler stands with his hands on his hips.

    John Petrie: There doesn't yet appear to be the next generation of ODI players forcing their way through the door. England's best team is still pretty much the one that won the World Cup in 2019, but that won't win in 2023.

  6. Ind 314-5published at 48.1 overs

    Tom Curran begins the penultimate over with a wide yorker this is smashed... but only for a single.

  7. Ind 313-5published at 48 overs

    Just the four runs from Topley's over. Excellent, excellent bowling and much needed too.

    Chipped...

    Only one.

  10. Ind 311-5published at 47.4 overs

    This is a good over from Reece Topley. He's mixing it up. Into the pitch this time and Hardik Pandya fails to connect.

  11. dropped catch

    H Pandya dropped on 21published at 47.1 overs

    Jos Buttler puts down a catch for the second time today. Hardik had top-edged a shorter, slower ball. Buttler went with one hand above his head initially, maybe not realising how much time he had.

    Should have been taken.

  12. Ind 309-5published at 47 overs

    The Pandya brothers are in the middle together now. Sadly we're being denied a battle between the Pandyas and the Currans as Reece Topley returns.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 46.5 overs

    Pant c Roy b T Curran 77 (Ind 309-5)

    The correct decision. Pant's fun is over.

  14. Postpublished at 11:32 GMT 26 March 2021

    Roy has caught the ball cleanly but has he then dragged it along the floor afterwards? I don't think so. I think he's fine.

    Roy didn't celebrate at all which isn't helping him.

  15. Umpire reviewpublished at 11:31 GMT 26 March 2021

    Gone... I think.

    Pant has skied one. Jason Roy looked to have taken the catch but we're checking.

    It's just range-hitting practice. Pandya this time clears the rope.

    Matt (11:23), although England are missing those 5, India are missing Bumrah, Jadeja, Shami and Iyer!

  19. 6 runs

    Ind 300-4published at 46.1 overs

    Even Pant's miss-hits are going for six. If you keep bowling full tosses you've only got yourself to blame.

    The 300 is up.

  20. Ind 294-4published at 46 overs

    Pandya winds up again like a lumberjack about to take an axe to a tree but misses this time. A rare spot of relief for England.

    Four overs to go. Pant has 70 from 37. Hardik 13 from four.
