Alex Hales is just backing himself to clear the short boundary. On any other boundary that is out.
Target 169
Fetch it! Hales again. Axar the bowler. Throw it back from the crowd at mid-wicket.

It has been a brilliant start by England.
Target 169
My editor has been reading, which is never good news. He reckons this page has been viewed more than two million times today. That's a serious lack of productivity across the country.
Target 169
Swept for six by Hales!

Me.

Target 169
Ashwin is moaning at the umpire. Rattled.

Stephen Piggin: I’m in bed with a fried egg buttie and a cuppa listening to TMS. I ain’t moving for nobody.
Ravi Bopara
Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
India just made up for the runs that they missed at the start of their innings. That is not how T20 cricket is played now, it has moved on.
Target 169
I bet Ashwin is thinking about a Mankad.

GTBob: My heart flutters every time those three dots start bumping about.
Target 169
India wanted Hardik to bowl the seventh, but because he was off the field for the treatment I mentioned, umpire Paul Reiffel stepped in and told him he had to wait. It will be Ashwin instead.

England are in a terrific position.
Target 169
Hardik was trying to whip up the crowd, the crowd responded. Noise. Buttler, ice in his veins, swats the last ball of the powerplay for four. Silence.
Pipe down, Hardik.

Ilyas: All of a sudden it feels like the game is being played behind closed door. The silence from the Indian fans speaks a million words.
Target 169
170k now. I told you to get some work done.

That wasn't a swing, that was a terrific sweep.
