    Bowling just his third over in the powerplay, Sam Curran has picked up his second wicket in this phase in this series while going at 10.4 runs per over.

  2. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It's so hard to contain the run rate on this pitch as the fielding team.

    India are ahead of where England were in the powerplay!

  3. Ind 65-2

    Shreyas Iyer wastes no time, powering it back over Sam Curran's head for four, followed by an edgy pull for four more.

    India need 193 runs in 85 balls.

  4. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Sanju Samson does not move his feet, extends his hands, and is not in a position to play that shot. That's the length Josh Tongue should be bowling.

  5. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Sam Curran gets a wicket first ball! That's the problem from India when you chasing such a big score you have to keep playing shots.

    WICKET

    Samson c Bethell b Curran 27 (Ind 55-2)

    Sam Curran with a wicket from his first ball.

    Again, a cheap dismissal from India's perspective as a stationary Sanju Samson chips it straight to Tom Bethell at cover.

  7. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    India would have taken this start - 11 an over. So far this has been smart cricket which we haven't seen in this series.

  8. Ind 55-1

    Ishan Kishan plays a delightful late cut for another boundary.

    A mixed bag from Josh Tongue - three dot balls but 12 runs conceded.

    Ashwanth R Kavuluri
    CricViz analyst

    Catching success in this series England:

    • 87.5% (3 drops)
    • India: 72.2% (5 drops) - three of the five are from today

  10. Ind 51-1

    An athletic diving stop from Phil Salt saves a boundary at deep square-leg.

    But there is no stopping this. Ishan Kishan pulls a leg-side delivery over the fine-leg boundary for six.

    India's 50 is up. They're keeping up with the rate.

  11. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    In India the reaction to this series has not been good. There's been criticism for the players and support staff as well. Playing in England is a big series and there's a lot of people watching.

  12. Ind 43-1

    Almost! Sanju Samson slices it towards Sam Curran at backward point and it falls just short.

    Samson gets underneath a fuller delivery and toe-ends it down the ground for four more.

    Ten from the over.

    What a ball! Jofra Archer got me into cricket at the age of five so amazing to see!!

    Leonidas, Gloucester

    Scoreboard pressure is going to tell, for this India team. Crazy stuff!

    Jon, London

    Re: Chetan at 17:12. Even if India do chase this down it certainly won’t be easy. Just based on basic maths it is never easy to chase that big a total

  14. Ind 38-1

    England turn to spin early on as Will Jacks is introduced.

    Jacks bowls on the legs and Ishan Kishan sweeps him for four.

  15. How's stat?!

    Most runs in T20s

    1. Kieron Pollard - 14,736 runs
    2. Chris Gayle - 14,562 runs
    3. Jos Buttler - 14,556 runs
    4. Alex Hales - 14,449 runs

    Jos Buttler is now the third-highest leading run-getter in T20s, going past his fellow countryman Alex Hales.

  16. Ind 33-1

    Target 258

    Back-to-back boundaries. India's batters have no time to settle in.

    Ishan Kishan opens the face of his bat and guides it up and over gully for a one-bounce four. The next ball, Kishan is on his toes and slashes it through backward point.

  17. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A nothing shot from Abhishek Sharma. He was looking to kind of guide it to third to a single but gets the faintest of edges. This isn't him, because he has a lovely swing up and down. But it feels a lot bowlers have figured him out.

  18. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A wicket which underlines England's dominance in the series.

    WICKET

    Abhishek c Buttler b Archer 3

    Jofra Archer strikes! And you have to say, Abhishek Sharma gives his wicket away.

    It's a short delivery and wide enough for Abhishek to send it through the covers, but the India opener plays tentatively and edges it into Jos Buttler's gloves.

    Archer is grinning.

    Archer has Abhishek Sharma caught behind

    Superb batting by Jos 'the boss' Buttler and Harry 'wizard' Brook.

    Chetan, Bolton

    India will chase this easily. Road.

    Ryan, Doncaster

    Seem to remember a few days ago somebody saying we were watching Jos Buttler’s England career come to its end… what you saying now?
