    Target 234

    Prasidh Krishna starts his innings with a maiden to Joe Root.

    The seamer strikes Root in the mid-riff, then the England bat wafts an attempted cut and nearly offers an edge.

    Root berates himself for his loose shot.

    That's the first time an English opener has got out from the first ball in an ODI against India.

    Joe Root gets off the mark straight away, edging a single to third.

    Jacob Bethell faces two dot balls from Jasprit Bumrah then drives through the covers for four.

    Outside edge and Ishan Kishan made no mistake, that's the start that India needed.

    First ball, he's out! Duckett goes off the first ball.

    WICKET

    Duckett c Kishan b Bumrah 0 (Eng 0-1)

    Right, time to get back going... oh my!

    Jasprit Bumrah has a wicket with his first delivery, drawing a feathered edge from Ben Duckett that is snaffled by Ishan Kishan.

    A golden duck for Duckett, Joe Root jogs out early doors.

    Anyone want to revise their vote from the beginning of the interval?

    Bizarre tactics from Gambhir. Only three specialist bowlers, his four "multi-role" players only contributed four runs and only 233 to defend. Another indictment on his coaching logic.

    The first innings was disappointing, some poor batting from India. Looking at the pitch, India will be looking to get some early wickets, get into that middle order and try to make it a game. I think they are 30 or 40 overs short.

    The way India were batting, we were looking at 300. There is something for the bowlers on this surface, so who knows.

  10. How's stat?!

    England have successfully chased down their last seven targets of under 250 in ODIs at home, last failing to do so in the 2019 World Cup final (tied).

  11. Thanks Elizabeth.

    We're currently 1,031 to 94 for an England win.

    Confident!

  12. So, England will be chasing 234 when their innings gets under way.

    I'm going to leave you with another vote. Thumbs up for an England win, thumbs down for India.

    Here's Mike Peter.

  13. Jofra Archer was the pick of the England bowlers, taking 3-47, while fellow quicks Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood chipped in with 3-50 and 2-52, respectively.

  14. Here are the highlights from Virat Kohli's 78th ODI half-century.

  15. A frustrating innings for India.

    They were 104-1 in the 18th over and 178-3 in the 32nd.The final seven wickets fell for 55 runs.

    Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 66 (71), Virat Kohli also scored a half-century (65 off 66), and Jasprit Bumrah flashed a handy 20 not out (13) from number 10.

    Lack of game awareness and game smarts. It's so much like England in Birmingham. Last few wickets it felt like they could get some more on the board.

  17. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bowls him! Dead on 44 overs, England have wrapped up the innings that has tumbled away from India.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Krishna b Atkinson 0 (233 all out)

    Gus Atkinson strikes again!

    Prasidh Krishna had defended nicely for two balls and only needed to navigate one more to hand over Jasprit Bumrah. But he went for a big heave-ho and has his stumps rearranged.

    India are all out for 233 - quite the collapse from 178-3.

    England will be chasing 234 to level the series.

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

    A little bit of a lazy shot from Shreyas Iyer. It was a good delivery from Atkinson, back of length, fourth or fifth stump line, Iyer looking to play it to third for a single.

    Every time India seem to be going somewhere, it seems to be one step forwards two steps back.

    WICKET

    Shreyas c Buttler b Atkinson 66 (Ind 233-9)

    A lazy waft from Shreyas Iyer and he nicks through to Jos Buttler. Gus Atkinson with the wicket.

    Prasidh Krishna needs to get Jasprit Bumrah on strike to continue his boundary bashing.
