    As much as Brook is to blame for dropping Samson, Archer's bowling has been very poor.

    Since the start of 2025, Will Jacks has 11 powerplay wickets at an average of 19 and an economy of just 7.1. It’s his lowest economy rate in any phase of the innings.

  3. Ind 39-1

    Will Jacks continues for England but Sanju Samson has really found his rhythm here.

    He slaps the off-spinner through the gap on the off side to move to 29 from 12 balls.

    Every boundary that Sanju Samson hits, England will be reviewing that dropped catch.

    They need to try and erase it from their minds.

  6. Ind 34-1

    Another boundary from Sanju Samson ends that Jofra Archer that has gone for 14 runs.

    But it could've been a different story had Harry Brook held onto that catch!

    Oh dear, oh dear. Harry Brook, what what you done?

    It’s not dramatic to say Harry Brook has just dropped the game. Schoolboy.

    That rubs salt in the wound for a bowler. There is an angry man inside Jofra Archer.

    Not a good sign for England.

    Ind 30-1

    In typical fashion, two balls after being dropped, Sanju Samson hammers Jofra Archer for a massive six which ends up in the third tier of the Wankhede Stadium.

    Archer is not looking happy at all!

    Harry Brook is down on his knees! How expensive will that prove to be.

    That is an easy catch for Harry Brook, he cannot believe what has happened.

    Dropped catch - Samson on 15

    Ind 24-1

    How crucial will that be?!

    After hitting Jofra Archer's first ball for a majestic four, Sanju Samson doesn't get the right connection this time around but Harry Brook can't hold on to a simple catch at mid-on!

    Will Jacks was trying to cramp Abhishek Sharma for room so he was forced to hit into the off-side. He only got the bottom corner of his bat on it and Phil Salt takes a simple catch.

    An important early wicket - what a tournament Jacks is having.

    Will Jacks strikes for England!

    And it's the dangerous Abhishek Sharma who perishes first.

    After dispatching a full toss from Jacks for his second boundary of the day, Sharma tries a big one again but holes out to Phil Salt at deep mid-wicket.

  16. Ind 16-0

    Will Jacks has made an impact for England with both bat and ball.

    His is up next but Abhishek Sharma steps to the leg side to make some room and slaps the off-spinner for his first boundary straightaway.

    Walking along the beach in Suffolk. Forgot my ear buds, so i'm annoying a few people listening loud on 5 Sports Extra.

    Of course my boss had to schedule our team meeting for 2pm. It's bad enough being in the office today, let alone in the boardroom!

    Since the start of the Super Eights, England’s average bowling speed in the Powerplay has been 86.5mph - this is the fastest of any side.

    Sanju Samson looks in good touch and it looks a good surface. It looks evenly paced and should be high-scoring.

    England need to make the most of their decision to bowl first.

  20. Ind 12-0

    A good start from defending champions India with 12 runs coming from Jofra Archer's opening over.
