    There have been whispers that Chris Jordan might be slightly over the hill recently. He has been brilliant today.

  2. Ind 187-6

    Brilliant from Chris Jordan, who restricts India to just five runs with his fourth and final over to end with figures of 2-23.

    This has been a good recovery from England.

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

    India have lost a little bit of momentum. Jos Buttler has got his bowling changes right in the second part of the innings so far.

  5. Ind 182-6

    That's a good over from Reece Topley, whose haircut looks to be straying dangerously into mullet territory. Just four runs and a wicket from it.

    India now have two new batters going into the final two overs.

  6. Prakash Wakankar

    That's a very important wicket for England at the right time. You know what you are going to get from Hardik Pandya but an intelligent bowler will figure him out.

    WICKET

    Hardik c Brook b Topley 51 (Eng 180-6)

    Hardik Pandya goes! Big wicket for England as Hardik Pandya looks to swipe into the off-side but is caught on the point boundary.

    That is Hardik Pandya's first T20 international half-century off 30 balls. It came in his 62nd match and 43rd innings.

  9. Ind 178-5

    Hardik Pandya smashes Matt Parkinson back over his head for a huge six before nudging to mid-off for a single to bring up his half-century from just 30 balls.

    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    Axar Patel helped himself to a lollipop on the pads off Matt Parkinson to find the boundary but he has then dragged him wide of the crease and the catch is taken.

    WICKET

    Axar c Roy b Parkinson 17 (Ind 171-5)

    Axar Patel has gone now though!

  12. Ind 171-4

    That's a gimme from Matt Parkinson as he serves up a full toss on leg stump that Axar Patel smashes for four.

  13. Suryakumar Yadav hit an entertaining 39 from 19 balls before gloving a Chris Jordan delivery through to Jos Buttler.

  14. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special

    Chris Jordan has been the best of the England bowlers so far today.

  15. Ind 165-4

    Chris Jordan has been impressive so far but has a rueful look on his face as Axar Patel pulls into the onside.

    The final ball confuses Hardik Pandya and spoons off a leading edge but lands safe.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Ageas Bowl

    It’s a really vibrant atmosphere here. The drums of the India fans is providing the backing track to the game. There’s a saxophone too.

    Great fun.

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

    There was a big deflection. It was a good ball from Matt Parkinson. He hasn't got too much grip off the pitch, but has got some drift.

  18. Ind 157-4

    Matt Parkinson, who has been very expensive so far, is back into the attack and he is a touch unlucky as Hardik Pandya skips down the track and misses the ball, but Jos Buttler cannot get down for the stumping.

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    The crowd here are seeing something a crowd in England has never seen in a T20 international. There are three left-arm seam bowlers in England's bowling attack for the first time in a T20 on English soil.

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

    It will be interesting to see who Jos Buttler goes through in the next few overs. Some of his bowlers have been quite expensive.
