    Piemontemio: Captain's innings from Mr Buttler, please...

  2. Eng 23-0

    Target 169

    I had to go shopping for some bathroom tiles with my other half yesterday. The atmosphere was tense, but nothing compared to this.

  3. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Who comes in next for England will depend a lot on what India do and when they bring spin into the attack.

  4. Eng 21-0

    Target 169

    Hardik Pandya is off the field, having treatment on his left hand.

  5. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm not 100% sure this is the right field that India has set. They'd be better off bringing deep point up because this is not a fast pitch and then put square leg back.

    This is a great start for England.

  8. Jonathan Agnew

    That is another thick edge and not where Jos Buttler planned at all.

  9. Eng 18-0

    Target 169

    Buttler is going like a train. This time a thick edge for four. The skipper has 16 from 7.

  10. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    The most promising thing about that over for England is that the swing has died. The last couple of balls just didn't swing at all after it had been hit to the boundary a couple of times.

  11. Eng 14-0

    Target 169

    Hales off the mark with a leading edge off left-armer Arshdeep Singh.

  12. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It's all about the psychology of a chase. You have got to be confident that you can go at 12 an over in the last five overs, you don't have to keep up with the rate all the way through.

    If England stay calm, they will be confident with this. It's all about keeping your head and not panicking.

  13. Eng 13-0

    Target 169

    That feels better, doesn't it?

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That is a poor ball. It is an absolute gift for Jos Buttler. He just had to nudge it and make sure he found the gap.

    It is a promising first over for England.

  15. Eng 13-0

    Target 169

    Four from the last ball, this time Buttler easing a leg-stump half-volley through mid-wicket. Great start for England.

  16. Jonathan Agnew

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn't get his line right there. It's wide.

    He hasn't got his line right at all.

  17. Eng 9-0

    Target 169

    Not now, Matt.

  18. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Adelaide Oval

    Jos Buttler averages 13 against Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He has got out to the India seamer five times.

  19. Eng 9-0

    Target 169

    Four more! This time off the front foot through the covers. Too wide from Bhuvi.

  20. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Just a little bit of width but that's all Jos Buttler needs.
