    Nick White: Apologies everyone, I sneaked the TV on for an over or two. We’ve lost three wickets and I take full responsibility for my actions.

    What Kohli is doing here? He has turned back to Kuldeep Yadav and the first ball is a long-hop, smashes away by Livingstone.

    What's Kohli saving Bhuvi for? He needs wickets now!

    38 to win.

  3. Eng 295-4

    Need 42 runs from 72 balls

    I don't know what it is about Dawid Malan but I feel calm when he's around. He's like your favourite blanket.

    The left-hander nudges Krunal Pandya to leg twice for singles. Liam Livingstone skips down for a single of his own.

    Adam Scorer: Oh, come on. Don't do this. Not today.

  5. Eng 288-4

    Need 49 from 78 balls

    A single to Livingstone to get off the mark. He and Malan have a job to do.

    England have lost three wickets for three runs in 11 balls.

  6. Tymal Mills
    England T20 bowler

    Fair play to the youngster Krishna, he came back brilliantly after a tough first spell on debut and he’s don’t it again today.

  7. Eng 287-4

    Liam Livingstone on debut, then. He was probably considering taking his kit off 15 minutes ago.

    WICKET

    Buttler b Krishna 0 (Eng 287-4)

    No. Surely not? Jos Buttler has had a miserable day as captain. He gets a rapid, perfectly directed yorker third ball and is cleaned up.

    Game. On.

  9. Eng 287-3

    Jos Buttler is in. Settle down.

    How do I know I'm English? I fully expect England to lose from this position...

    Bairstow c Kohli b Krishna 124 (Eng 287-3)

    BairstowBCCI

    Errrm. They couldn't could they? Like really... they can't?

    Jonny Bairstow hits straight to Virat Kohli at extra cover on the drive. India have two new batsmen in.

    Danny: That 99 from Stokes is better than most of the ODI centuries there have been.

  13. Eng 287-2

    Need 50 runs from 84 balls

    Ben Stokes went from 50 to 99 in 11 balls. That's cheating. So good.

    Malan and Bairstow are just taking a breath.

    The big difference with the last game: Bairstow crossed over into the century and didn’t lose his wicket. As long as one of the openers carry into the 25-35 overs we look good!

  15. Eng 285-2

    How Dawid Malan follows that I don't know. He's the new batsman.

    England need 52 more to win and have ages to get them. Surely that wicket won't matter.

  16. 99 from 52 balls.

    England's bench rises to Ben Stokes has he makes his way from the field.

    WICKET

    Stokes c Pant b Bhuvneshwar 99 (Eng 285-2)

    KumarBCCI

    OH NO! Ben Stokes is out on 99. England's all-rounder cannot believe it. He has gloved a bouncer from Bhuvneshwar Kumar through the Rishabh Pant. Stokes is half laughing.

    He has played one of the great ODI knocks for England.

  18. No.

    Rohit is back on his feet. He'll be okay.

    Were we at 266-1 at any point in the test series? Serious question.

    Rob, Devon

  20. ouch!

    Eng 285-1

    It gets worse for India. Rohit Sharma is down after a dive at long-on. He couldn't stop the four either.

    Stokes is on 99.
