Argh. Bhuvi has got away with that one. It's a leg-stump half volley that Curran misses. It flicks the pad too which denies England a wide.

"OH NO" shouts Curran after a full toss is skied. In comes mid-wicket bu he can't get there in time.
Curran wants a no-ball. He doesn't get it. He does have the strike.

Shot! Just what Curran needed. He whips Pandya to the square-leg boundary.

Curran grunts at himself after clunking another. I think he's broken his bat.

A sensational stop from KL Rahul on the boundary who prevents certain boundary on the half volley.
Two to Curran.
46 from 28 needed.

I fear it's not going to happen for Sam Curran here. He's turning down singles but can't find the boundary.

Kohli switches his bowlers again. It'll be Hardik Pandya now. He dropped Sam Curran a long while back remember.

Three from the over. Sam Curran rejects another advance from Wood who wants a single from the final ball.
