    Hardik down the other end now and he pushes Livingstone through point for four. Run-rate continues to rise.

    How would I bowl to Rishabh Pant? I'd bowl him a filthy knee-high full toss like Livingstone bowled to Rahul, and hope he hits it to short fine leg.

    And a third for the over, clubbed over mid-wicket by Hardik.

    Moeen bowled an economical 0-47 on Friday, but he's taking a bit more punishment today.

    Hardik's not hanging about. Another six, into the leg side.

    You feel the direction of this game is resting a lot on Rishabh Pant. If he carries on the way he is going, India could get a monster total. But he could get out at any point and England can use that as a chance to strangle India.

    Hardik's turn now as he flays Moeen for a maximum. India following England's aggressive playbook?

  7. Ind 170-4published at 27 overs

    Good response from Livingstone though, nothing more from the over.

  8. Ind 170-4published at 26.3 overs

    Another boundary! Hard and flat through the covers this time. Pant perhaps reminding Livingstone he is a part-timer in this role.

  9. 6 runs

    Ind 166-4published at 26.2 overs

    Pant heaves Livingstone over the ropes - one-handed again, but better result than Rahul in Livingstone's last over.

  10. Ind 160-4published at 26 overs

    Effective stifling job from Moeen - just two from it.

    Thanks Matt.

    It was all a bit sedate when I covered the middle overs of India's innings on Friday. Think we're in line for more excitement today...

  12. Ind 158-4published at 25 overs

    Pant 31, H Pandya 1

    We've seen Hardik Pandya bash it in the final 10 overs but he has a different role to play today. This could be an intriguing second 25 overs. Mike Peter will take you through it.

    You're kidding! Liam Livingstone has a wicket with what could be the worst ball he's ever bowled. It's just his second delivery in international cricket too.

    The part-timer has a lobbed up a horrible attempted leg-spinner which has reached KL Rahul on the full on leg stump. Rahul has a swing but has hooked the ball round to short fine leg. Hideous cricket.

  14. Ind 157-3published at 24.1 overs

    England are giving Liam Livingstone a bowl. He's being billed as an off-spinner by the host broadcaster but can bowl a bit of everything.

  15. Ind 156-3published at 24 overs

    Run rate: 6.50

    Moeen is doing such an important job for England. He still hasn't conceded a boundary and he's through five overs now.

    Pant tries to attack him and almost hits straight to Sam Curran at deep mid-wicket. Curran does well to stop the ball on an awkward bounce.

  17. Ind 151-3published at 23 overs

    Pant 27, Rahul 5

    Even with those three wickets England are going to have to get Rishabh Pant out or they'll be chasing a huge score.

    Chris Jordan is on as a sub fielder, by the way. Not a bad sub.

  18. Ind 150-3published at 22.2 overs

    Pant is now down on one knee and flicking Rashid over his shoulder. He's so much fun.

  19. Ind 145-3published at 22.1 overs

    I've no idea what to call this shot. Pant hits Rashid away in the air with a wristy flick and a wiggle of the hips Shakira would be proud of.

  20. Ind 141-3published at 22 overs

    Pant 18, Rahul 5

    Yes, all three of England's wickets have gone to spin but India have dropped their spinner. It may be that the ball turns less under lights later on.

    Another good over of tweakers from Mo.
