    Spinners helping England’s over rate. No one wants to be on the field for four hours and ten minutes as England were on Tuesday.

    Why the car especially, Mark? Where are you going to go?

    Mark Burt: If Kohli doesn’t get a ton today I will wash the car in my underpants. He looks so in the mood Barry White should be playing in the background.

    Kohli 44, Rahul 36

    Moeen still keeps it quiet. Halfway through, no boundary for five overs now. But the partnership is worth 75 - finely poised.

  5. Ind 108-2published at 24 overs

    Five more off Rashid.

    It's all rather sedate at the moment. But the partnership is building.

    Ted: On one Zoom quiz I played guess the confectionery from what I was wearing. No one liked it.

    100 up for India, who continue to nurdle the England spinners around. At what point do they accelerate?

    Kohli dropped on 35published at 22 overs

    Ind 99-2

    All rather listless for the first five balls of Rashid's over, but he draws the nick from Kohli and captain Buttler is nowhere near it - it bounces off the back of his gloves for a single.

    Kohli on 38 and looking settled. How much will England regret that?

    Matt Grapes: We did a recent ‘Would I Lie to you’ Zoom quiz where all participants had to submit two truths and a one lie beforehand and we had to spot the lie. The chap who had actually dated Sade in the 80s did very well.

  10. Ind 94-2published at 21 overs

    Moeen continues. Just the four off it. Kohli's back in his cap for the spinners. Rahul still in his helmet.

    Thanks Matt. On the Zoom quiz front, while most of the amateurs gave up in June, I've been doing them every Monday since lockdown started.

    My turn to write this week, actually. I'll deliberately making it extremely difficult for the person who overhauled my ten point lead last week. Because isn't that what quizzing is all about? Petty vindictiveness...

  12. Ind 90-2published at 20 overs

    Adil Rashid ends flat on his face across the pitch in an attempt to field off his own bowling. He can't even stop the single.

    I'm off for some breakfast. Mike Peter will take you through the next bit.

    Adil Rashid is on and KL Rahul breaks that run of balls without a boundary. A lovely, lovely shot through extra cover.

    I did a Zoom Quiz round at Christmas which was 'Name That Tune... on Kazoos'. Deliberately designed to be chaos. And was.

  15. Ind 83-2published at 19 overs

    It's just over 20 minutes since the last boundary. India like this plan of ticking over and then exploding later on. Kohli has 31 from 37, Rahul only 20 from 35. Six singles come from Moeen's over.

  16. Ind 77-2published at 18 overs

    Tom Curran is still searching for a wicket. He has only taken one in his past nine ODIs, as Simon Mann has just pointed out to me.

    Jack George: Best rounds we had were 'quickest to show _____ on screen gets a point' - from specific like a spatula to more vague like 'could be used as a chair but isn't a chair' The scramble of people away from the camera was excellent every time.

  18. Ind 75-2published at 17 overs

    Moeen only bowled a handful of overs in the first game. He was occasionally wayward.

    His first over here is pretty accurate, the runs coming when Kohli and Rahul knock singles to fielders in the deep either side of the wicket.

    India batting like a top-class football team away from home: ‘Yeah, we’ll keep it tight for now. But watch our two goals in the second half. We may even get three today.’

    That's another one I could steal.
