  1. Eng 130-1

    Frowns from England as Krishna sends one high and wide. Fair delivery apparently...

  2. Eng 130-1

    Krishna back into the attack in place of Kuldeep.

    Stokes pushes into mid-wicket and runs. Is this another misjudgement from England? Excellent fielding from Krunal who gathers and throws down the non-strikers end but Bairstow makes it home for two.

    I'm having England batting deja vu all over again....

    Andy from Corsham

  4. Eng 128-1

    Yeah, Stokes is here to party.

    He makes room and punches Krunal Pandya into the covers and having regained the strikes hits a mistimed slog sweep for another single.

  5. 6 runs

    Eng 125-1

    Told you!

    Stokes hits through the line over mid-on. Glorious stroke.

  6. 118-1

    Target 337

    Kuldeep continues. Just two singles off it as England are becalmed - but for how long? Based on the big swing from Stokes in the last over he's not going to watch it for a few overs...

  7. Eng 116-1

    Krunal Pandya into the attack for spin at both ends. Stokes drives at him hard and offers a thick edge - no slip though, it runs down to the boundary for two.

  8. Eng 111-1

    Single for Stokes to England's favourite area of long on.

  10. No, that's missing by a distance. Poor review.

  11. Umpire review

    Kuldeep raps Stokes on the pads first ball up! Stokes wasn't offering a shot... they go upstairs.

  12. Tymal Mills
    England T20 bowler

    That seemed like it was the only way that partnership was going to be broken. Excellent work in the ring from Rohit but really not ideal for England.

  13. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Excellent piece of fielding from Rohit but the call from Bairstow ought to have been ‘wait’ - shouted very loudly.

    WICKET

    Roy run out (Rohit) 55 (Eng 110-1)

    RoyBCCI

    Oh, why would you do that?!

    Bairstow pushes Kuldeep into mid-wicket and sets off, Rohit collects swiftly and there's hesitation from both batsmen as he throws down the stumps at the keeper's ends.

    There's some confusion as to whether the batsmen have crossed - they just about have and Roy departs. This is where it all began to fall apart for England on Tuesday.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Bairstow

    Anything Jason can do...

    Both openers have now brought up their fifties with sixes, as Bairstow hits over long-on once again. It comes off 45 balls.

    Piemontemio: Only once these two have centuries will I think we can win this one...

  17. Eng 101-0

    Bairstow 44, Roy 55

    100 up for England in the 16th over - Roy runs it down to backward point. Bairstow miss-times the next ball and it pops up... into plenty of space.

    KohliBCCI

    Unpopular opinion on Virat Kohli as an Indian cricket fan - even with a world-class team at his disposal, India will not win an ICC tournament with Kohli as a captain. That ship has long sailed.

  19. Eng 99-0

    And another! Back-to-back sixes Bairstow, over mid-wicket this time.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 93-0

    Bairstow just lifts Thakur over long-on. Effortless.
