    Shivam Dube wants to hit every ball for six. There are wickets in hand and batters to come - free hits in his opinion.

  2. 6 runs

    Ind 183-3

    More misery for Adil Rashid.

    Shivam Dube gets down on one knee to launch the England spinner over long-off for six - the Mumbai crowd are really enjoying it!

  3. England have applied the brakes to an extent here...

    A savage strike from Shivam Dube. He holds his bat at the top of his swing for a second which allowed him to hit that ball straight.

  5. Ind 177-3

    Sam Curran concedes just five from his four balls before Shivam Dube slaps his moonball down the ground for a four.

    Curran ends up conceding 10 runs from that over.

  6. How's stat?!

    Samson scored his runs with 10 different shots today, with 42 of his runs coming from the cover, on and straight drives. When pulling the ball he was devastating, scoring 19 runs from his four pull shots played.

    The Indians do just seem to slog it and not care. It is frustrating from an English perspective when we see them do it and fail.

    I get the frustration, but Sanju Samson’s knock was anything but a slog. It was a really calculated innings and here’s Rufus to back it up…

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Sam Curran is under a bit of pressure. England need all the help they can get from everyone - they have been slightly sloppy in the field so far.

  9. Ind 169-3

    Sam Curran begins his over with a full toss but Shivam Dube doesn't capitalise fully.

    But India still manage to run two after Jacob Bethell fumbles at long-on.

  10. Ind 167-3

    The big wicket of Sanju Samson and no boundary off that over from Will Jacks.

    Those Samson scores this tournament... wow. Better second half than Liverpool in 2005.

    Harry Brook is at -74 runs, needs a big innings.

    India need to not lose wickets in pairs now. You have seen it so often when teams lose another wicket in the over.

  13. Ind 162-3

    It brings India captain Suryakumar Yadav to the crease.

    SKY takes the aerial route straightaway but it falls short of the fielders at deep mid-wicket.

    Get a couple more wickets here and England could still dream of a place in Sunday's final?

    Another quick wicket and this game could spin on his head. Not over til it's over...

    That was a very clever piece of bowling from Will Jacks. He kept the ball far from Sanju Samson's batting arc and asked whether he can clear him. The right field was set too.

    What a superb innings - it will still hurt England.

  16. Sanju Samson at this tournament:

    • 22 (8) v Namibia
    • 24 (15) v Zimbabwe
    • 97* (50) v West Indies
    • 89 (42) v England

    WICKET

    Samson c Salt b Jacks 89 (Ind 160-3)

    Sanju Samson departs for 89 from 42 balls!

    Will Jacks gets the India batter but only after the opener has provided the co-hosts the perfect platform to build on.

    The drinks are out in the middle and this will give England some time to regroup and plan their action for the rest of this innings.

  19. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Few cricketers can make batting look that easy, but Sanju Samson is one of them.

    India have taken the spin out of the occasion here and Harry Brook is struggling with who to bring on.

  20. 6 runs

    Ind 159-2

    It's a leg-cutter from Jofra Archer this time but Sanju Samson muscles it over long-off for the second six of the over.

    The man from Kerala is making batting look easy here!
