Timothy Abraham

  1. Jason Roy gives the pitch a solid prod with the toe of his bat, then stands still at the crease in anticipation. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is at the top of his mark.

  2. India's players have a quick huddle before we get under way. England openers Jos Buttler and Jason Roy are already out in the middle eager to get down to business.

  4. This was a key moment in India's innings. Suryakumar Yadav had 39 off 19 balls and it was a marginal call as to whether to review it. Jos Buttler got it spot on.

    Adam: Must be a strange feeling to score 198 and think it might not quite be enough.

  6. Thanks Tom, top effort. Looking forward to seeing Harry Brook tonight - he's been in great form this season. Looks an international player in the making.

  7. Well that was fun.

    India looked to be running away with things at one stage but England pulled the game back in the final five overs.

    An intriguing chase awaits and to guide you through it is the irrepressible Timothy Abraham.

    It's not half as bad as England thought it might be after the start India made. You anticipate it might be a challenge to chase it, but as the sun sets and the dew comes down the ball might skip on off the pitch. That might suit England's power hitters if their openers are able to lay a platform and who better than Jason Roy and Jos Buttler to do that.

  9. India batter Hardik Pandya on Sky Sports: "I'm enjoying batting at the moment. The pitch is a belter but credit to the England bowlers too, they pulled it back pretty well.

    "We left about 15 runs out there but this is still a good total and I fancy our chances to stop England."

    India will feel like they left some runs out there in the middle. I would say India have got enough - it's still a good score. Chasing 199 is 10 an over from the first ball. England have a lot of firepower in their batting so it's about India taking wickets.

    We were talking about 220 for India after their start but England have pulled it back. India do not make it to 200 and England will be happy with the way they came back.

  12. Ind 198-8

    Debutant Arshdeep Singh looks every inch a no.11 as he manages to scramble the ball into the on-side and India can run two off the final ball.

    They end the innings 198-8 meaning England need 199 to win.

  13. Ind 196-8

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar nudges a single down to third man.

    Yes, no, wait, maybe. And a very accurate throw from Jos Buttler does for Harshal Patel.

    WICKET

    Harshal run out Buttler 3 (Ind 195-8)

    It's two in two - and brilliant from Jos Buttler!

    Tymal Mills goes for the slower ball again, Harshal Patel cannot get it away but they go for the single anyway and Buttler fires in a laser-guided throw that clatters into the wickets.

  16. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    Phenomenal from Sam Curran. Dinesh Karthik wanted to slap that over mid-off and Curran ran backwards 10 yards and took it over his shoulder diving. He had to make up some ground.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Dinesh Karthik c Curran b Mills 11 (Ind 195-7)

    What a catch!!

    A slower ball from Tymal Mills and Dinesh Karthik slices nto the air into the off-side, with Sam Curran taking a brilliant catch running from backward point.

  18. Ind 195-6

    And again! Dinesh Karthik plays a near identical shot for another boundary!

    Jos Buttler starts shuffling his field placings...

  19. Ind 191-6

    Here's the fightback!

    Tymal Mills will bowl the final over and his first ball is clattered over mid-off by Dinesh Karthik for four.

    This has been outstanding bowling from Chris Jordan. India's batters have hit a real speed bump. It's turning into a bit of damp squib for them now.
