  1. Varun Chakravarthy will bowl the 15th over. England need 82 runs in 36 balls.

    Can England do it?

    Thumbs up for yes. Thumbs down for no.

    I wouldn’t be annoyed if we lost the game because of that. WHAT A PLAY! Don’t want to lose though.

    What a grab. What a contrast between that chance and Harry Brook's. Rather telling...

    Ben, who's six other colleagues are now back at work

  3. That's a huge breakthrough for India but crucially for England, Jacob Bethell is still in.

    He's scoring runs for fun and is unbeaten on 74 (33).

    Here's how he brought up his half-century.

    Catches win matches and that is the reason. That is magical!

    That could be the moment where Axar Patel may have won the game for his side.

    What a catch to end a magnificent partnership!

    WICKET

    Jacks c Dube b Singh 35 (Eng 172-5)

    It will be Shivam Dube's name on the scorecard but Axar Patel! Take a bow!

    Sprinting back to grab the ball in two hands, he's carried towards the rope by his momentum but shows great awareness to fling the ball back to Dube. Superb relay catch.

    Will Jacks is out for 35 (20) and England's fifth-wicket partnership, which brought 77 runs off 39 balls, is broken. Wow.

  7. Eng 172-4

    Jacob Bethell picks up four off the first ball of the over with a well-placed cut through third - a lovely shot.

    It's shaping up to be a handy enough over from Arshdeep Singh with nine runs from it... and then, wide, wide, wide.

    England's Will Jacks (L) and Jacob Bethell (R) run between the wickets as India's Varun Chakravarthy looks onGetty Images

    Today is only just the second time that an Indian bowler has gone for more than 50 runs in a T20 World Cup match.

    Varun Chakravarthy has figures of 1-51 and still has an over remaining.

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

    It is doable. We have seen this done before and they are getting 15 runs an over.

    Can this partnership carry on? That is the question.

  10. Eng 160-4

    Target 254

    11 runs off the first half of the over, including a six and a four for Will Jacks. The second boundary is a gift, with Suryakumar Yadav misfielding in the covers.

    Axar Patel pulls it back, conceding four off his next three balls.

    Still, are India rocking?

  11. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist in Mumbai

    Loud and defiant chants of "Indiaaaa, India!" after that latest Jacks boundary. Are the locals sensing their team needs a boost?

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 152-4

    150 up for England, Will Jacks pulling a short delivery from Axar Patel for six.

    England need 102 runs off 46 balls... surely not?

  13. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    While England’s pace bowlers were dispatched pitching the ball shorter than 8m, India’s bowlers have had far more success:

    England - Econ 16.3

    India - Econ 6.5

    There's no doubt that Bethell is a great talent, but it's only on days like today that we discover if he might just become a talented great.

    I get the feeling we are in for a nail-biter here.

  16. 6 runs

    Eng 145-4

    Target 254

    It looked like Varun Chakravarthy had pulled that over back, restricting England to three singles after leaking five runs in his first two balls.

    And then, Will Jacks pounds him over mid-wicket for six. He and Jacob Bethell have put on 50 off 27 for the fifth wicket.

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

    As long as Jacob Bethell is there, England are right in it. He is batting with ease at the moment.

  18. Eng 136-4

    Curious that Suryakumar Yadav has decided to return to the expensive Varun Chakravarthy.

    His first two overs cost 37 runs. The first two balls of his third have already gone for five, Jacob Bethell reverse sweeping for yet another boundary.

    This is Jacob Bethell’s second-fastest 50 in T20 cricket.

    It is only behind his 15-ball half-century against Northants Steelbacks in 2024

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

    I still feel England are completely in this game.
