    Need seven from 42 balls

    Kohli has his arms folded with a hint of a wry smile. His side have been beaten by a good batting line-up in scintillating form today. Livingstone is hit on the body for the second time in the last few overs.

    Aaron Campbell: Settle down. Buttler is undroppable. To even suggest that is absolute nonsense. He's the best there is, form is temporary.

    A wide from Krishna brings the finish line a run closer. Malan is fiddling, trying to get there in singles.

    Target 337

    Nine to win.

    If there was a home crowd they'd be sneaking out now.

    They're laughing and joking on the England bench now.

    And Dawid Malan edges for four a ball later. They're almost there.

  6. Eng 321-4published at 41.1 overs

    Jos Buttler averages 2.80 in ODIs since the World Cup final! Incredible. But yes, he's a certainty for me.

    Is Buttler a certainty for this ODI team now? He's now made 5 single digit scores in a row and he only averages 39 in his career...

    Need 17 from 54 balls

    Very impressive.

    England are nearly there. Another over from the dangerous Krishna goes by.

    Impressive cameo from Liam Livingstone on his ODI debut. No messing around after the loss of three quick wickets.

    A single for Malan takes the deficit into the teens. It got scary for a few minutes but we can't forget how brilliant a chase this would be.

    Has Stokes come back in disguised as Livingstone?

    Prasidh Krishna will bowl the 41st over. England need just 20 from 60 balls.

  13. Not outpublished at 40 overs

    Pitched outside by a whisker. You can't blame Kohli for going for it.

  14. Postpublished at 15:38 GMT 26 March 2021

    Malan hasn't hit it. If it has pitched in line he's out.

  15. India reviewpublished at 40 overs

    India had to review.

    Malan is hit on the pad. This is their last chance.

  16. Eng 316-4published at 39.4 overs

    Debutant Livingstone has settled it right down. Those two sixes have taken him to 25 from 14. A perfect little innings.

    Just 21 needed now.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 314-4published at 39.2 overs

    Six more! Two sixes in two balls.

    Livingstone has got hold of that one alright.

    It's terrible for your health but England are getting there. Livingstone charges Bhuvneshwar Kumar and he gets a streaky six over mid-on.

  19. Postpublished at 15:33 GMT 26 March 2021

    Bhuvi's back now. Kohli has come to his senses.

    India's premier quick has 12 balls remaining. Big over, this.

  20. Eng 302-4published at 39 overs

    Need 35 from 66 balls

    Bhuvi and Krishna had just taken three wickets in no time. Both have now been removed from the attack. Bizarre.

    Livingstone and Malan milk the rest of Kuldeep's over of spin.
