  1. Ind 100-0published at 14 overs

    It looks a really good pitch but if you keep bowling wide to Shikhar Dhawan you're going to get punished. Ben Stokes is the latest culprit. It has been really, really poor from England.

    It's a tough start for England - the chat in the middle before the match was that this was going to be the best pitch of the series. India are making it look that way. I also think the way England batted in the second ODI has caused India to be more attacking.

  3. Ind 92-0published at 13 overs

    Keep your questions coming for Tymal. He was getting very chirpy about some high-flying Canaries the other day.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Dhawanpublished at 12.4 overs

    A change to spin makes little difference to Shikhar Dhawan - at least not when you bowl halfway down the track.

    Four runs and 50 for the India opener. He's got there from 44 balls.

  6. Ind 84-0published at 12 overs

    Dhawan 47, Rohit 33

    Dearie me. Stokes has caught the short and wide bug from his team-mates and Rohit slaps the ball away. England need to quieten things down. Jos Buttler turns to Adil Rashid.

    I can see India posting at least 370/380 unless England sort their lines and lengths out. Just a suggestion but short, wide and full tosses is probably not the best approach. I could be wrong though...

  8. Ind 76-0published at 11 overs

    There's a lot of sun cream on show among the England team today - Cumbrian Liam Livingstone in particular. It looks hot - very hot - and not the place you want to be given the run around.

    Rohit gets another four at the end of the over, albeit edgily. Early days but this could be painful.

    Statman Tom: The concern for England would be that they’ve got no specialist death bowlers so without wickets in the powerplay you feel this could be a very long hot afternoon

  10. Ind 71-0published at 10.2 overs

    More runs...

    Wood goes for a length ball and Dhawan just casually swipes across the line to send the ball through mid-wicket. The India bench enjoyed that one. Dismissive.

  12. Ind 65-0published at 10 overs

    Rohit 24, Dhawan 38

    Stokes has bowled well in the last couple of games. Four runs come from his opening over.

    India have won the powerplay today with a much better effort than the previous games. They've been helped by some ropey bowling.

    A sign of England's difficulties is that Ben Stokes is into the attack already.

    Question: We know England like to chase a score down as a batting unit - but as a bowler, would you prefer bowling at the death to defend a target, or coming into bat in the last few overs to win the game for your side? (Matt Moreton)

    Mills: Haha! If you ask any bowler if they want to take the glory of hitting the winning runs, and they will say yes.

  15. Ind 61-0published at 9 overs

    Rohit 22, Dhawan 36

    Someone tweeted us to earlier in this series to say whenever they read Shikhar Dhawan's name they do so to the tune of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Now I can't get it out of my head. I'm expecting Dick van Dyke to come on for England with some off spin.

    Liam Livingstone dives full length excellently on the boundary edge to stop another four to Dhawan.

  16. Tymal Mills Q&Apublished at 09:39 BST 28 March 2021

    Question: Who's the best batsman you have bowled at?

    Tymal Mills

    It's a little cop out but the best batsman I have bowled at is probably Virat Kohli. The one I found hardest to bowl at was Brendon McCullum. He consistently hit me for six over point, wherever I bowled.

    It's all India at the minute. Wood is hit away now. A lovely shot from Shikhar Dhawan.

  18. Ind 53-0published at 8 overs

    Rohit 21, Dhawan 29

    Oh and now Reece Topley ends the over with a full toss. It's easy pickings for someone like Rohit Sharma.

    Topley grumpily shouts in anger. Not a good over.
