  1. Thanks Mike.

    Mark Burt (9:48) - what have you done?

  2. Ind 173-3

    And that's yer lot for Moeen. Ten overs on the spin for the England all-rounder, Pant and Rahul work him away for four singles. His spell has cost 46 runs, just one of them a boundary.

    And with that, I leave you in the capable hands of Matt Henry.

    Gustav the Pigeon: Tell Mark (9:48) to make a good job of the alloys... always overlooked.

    David Beckett: I hope the weather is nice where Mark lives!

    Jake Wiggins: Mark Burt, get your sponge out!

  4. Ind 169-3

    Still spin for England, but India's 12th man has wandered onto the field with a helmet. We've had spin since the 18th over.

    Patrick McNally: People do things on Zoom other than drink and complain about lockdown?

  6. Ind 164-3

    Rishabh Pant is the new man in, but he's down the other end at first as Moeen continues.

    Couple of singles, before Rahul whacks a wide one baseball-style through the covers for four. That's the first boundary Moeen's conceded.

    WICKET

    Kohli c Buttler b Rashid 66 (Ind 158-3)

    KohliBCCI

    Maybe Kohli should have stuck to the singles?

    He tries to cut Rashid off the last bowl of the over and this time it nestles nicely in Buttler's gloves. He departs for 66 from 79 balls.

  8. 6 runs

    Ind 155-2

    There's untroubled and there's that!

    Kohli meanders down the track like he's going for a lunchtime stroll and wallops Rashid back over his head for six.

  9. Ind 149-2

    No dot balls, India turning round the strike nicely. Still a paucity of boundaries, but they seem entirely untroubled.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Rahul

    50 up for Rahul off 66 balls, clipping Moeen off his feet. He hasn't been an especially regular presence in this side, but this will help consolidate his place somewhat...

    Every time I see a replay of Jos Buttler’s drop off Virat’s edge, I think of my dog trying to catch a squirrel - nowhere near.

  12. Ind 142-2

    Nope, Rashid continues. Yet more singles.

  13. Ind 139-2

    Couple more off it. Time for some pace?

  14. Tymal Mills
    England T20 bowler

    As I mentioned earlier, the lack of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood or any 90mph bowler is hurting England. How are they going to break this partnership?

  15. 100 partnership

    Rahul 46, Kohli 59

    Kohli pushes past Moeen for the 100 partnership off 119 balls. Both batsmen set and wickets in hand, even if they haven't pushed too hard, India increasingly in control.

  16. Ind 135-2

    A few more singles. England have bowled the spinners for 10 overs now. Might Buttler change things up soon to break this partnership?

  17. 6 runs

    Ind 132-2

    What did I say?

    Short from Rashid, Kohli hooks hard and high for the maximum.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Kohli

    Ind 126-2

    Kohli punches Moeen's last ball down to long-on - that's his 50! He's looked pretty relaxed today - no boundary since the 14th over. But this is a platform he can build on rapidly...

  20. Ind 121-2

    At last India break through the ring. Rahul cuts Rashid through backward point to reach the rope. The first signs of acceleration?
