    Almost another mix-up as Curran turns down another single, sending Mark Wood back from halfway down the pitch.

    Is this the right tactic?

    Credit to England and Sam Curran - they haven't given up or rolled over and now you never know...

    It'll be Shardul Thakur next. Kohli is saving Bhuvneshwar.

    Curran 59, Wood 10

    One more to long-off for Curran. He has the strike.

    It's 51 from 36 balls required now. Kohli and Rohit come together for a chat.

  6. Eng 278-8published at 43.5 overs

    Back over to Curran. A single or six?

  7. Eng 277-8published at 43.4 overs

    Natarajan has hit back well after that six. Another yorker is on the money. This time Curran does run.

    Curran turns down another single.

  9. Eng 276-8published at 43.2 overs

    Natarajan nails his yorker this time.

    54 from 40 needed.

  10. 6 runs

    Eng 276-8published at 43.1 overs

    Is this the over for Sam Curran?

    T Natarajan is battered for six.

  11. Eng 270-8published at 43 overs

    Target 330

    Just the one from the over. England need 60 from 42 now. Bhuvneshwar has one left.

  12. Eng 269-8published at 42.4 overs

    Curran may be seeing off Bhuvi here and backing himself against the others. He turns down a single.

  13. Eng 269-8published at 42.3 overs

    Three dots to begin from Bhuvi. So good.

  14. Eng 269-8published at 42 overs

    Need 61 from 48 balls

    One good over for England could change the complexion. It won't be easy to do that off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's bowling...

    I don't think you will ever find a satisfied England fan. Always something that could improve, increase, decrease, change, do differently, sack, bring in, bigger bat etc.

    Wood top-edges Natarajan and gets four. You're going to have to miss the start of the football...

    61 from 49 needed.

    Sam Curran is still going. A single takes him to 50 from 45. It has been a really good knock in truth.

    Re: Steve (16.39). If Gareth Southgate was in charge of the one-day team he would open with Boycott and Tavare.

    It's going to have to come from Sam Curran now but Wood doesn't seem as skilled in rotating the strike as Rashid. Wood will be on strike again next.

  20. Eng 260-8published at 40.3 overs

    Phil Foden would be a modern-day middle order all-rounder.

    Mark Wood is using up deliveries now.
