  1. Not out

    And that is why I am not an umpire. It was missing leg stump. Be quiet, Matthew.

  2. This looks plumb to me. Malan could be gone.

  3. India review

    This is close, isn't it? Malan is hit on the pad. The original decision was not out.

  4. Eng 115-4

    Time for spin for the first time. It's Krunal Pandya.

    Keeping positive here. We still have Moeen to come and he's due a big one.

  6. Eng 115-4

    Malan 31, Livingstone 11

    And that's a pull to the fence from Livingstone. He showed in the previous game he has the shots.

  7. Eng 110-4

    Liam Livingstone goes full Kevin Pietersen with a flick through mid-wicket. Superb shot.

  8. Eng 101-4

    That man Hardik, a bundle of enthusiasm, bowls a good over that keeps England quiet. Moeen is doing a bit of shadow batting on the boundary edge. He'll be in next.

  9. Tymal Mills
    England T20 bowler

    Hardik Pandya is a funny one - he bowled in every game in the T20s and then nothing for the first two ODIs. A fully fit Hardik is crucial to India in all formats moving forward.

  10. Eng 98-4

    Target 330

    Livingstone has a wavy back lift like Joe Root. Not a bad person to copy. Livingstone's collar is turned up, hinting at his swagger. England need a knock from their inexperienced man.

  12. Eng 97-4

    Liam Livingstone is off the mark first ball. There's so much noise coming from the India fielders. Kohli was leaping around when that review was shown on the big screen.

    WICKET

    Buttler lbw b Thakur 15 (Eng 95-4)

    KohliBCCI

    Listen to those screams of delight from India. They know how massive a wicket this is. Once there was no inside edge Jos Buttler was always struggling.

    It's a huge ask for England now.

  14. It sounded like an inside edge but there isn't one. Buttler is in trouble.

  15. India review

    Kohli has sent an lbw shout to Buttler upstairs.

    Nervous?

  16. I'm with Wayne here. Banana bread is as over-rated as Shaun Marsh.

    Raj Gokani: Wayne (14:19) here’s another suggestion, how about a curry without spices?

  18. Eng 95-3

    Target 330

    India have missed another chance. Had Virat Kohli hit with his throw Dawid Malan would have been a fair way short. Kohli was at extra cover. He had three stumps to aim at. It was one of those you think a professional cricketer would back themselves to make.

  19. Tymal Mills
    England T20 bowler

    A different-paced game in this innings compared to what we've seen recently, but still gripping. Malan and Buttler soaking up pressure, ticking over, and will need some acceleration at some point soon.

  20. Eng 90-3

    Jos Buttler slaps Hardik Pandya for four, the all-rounder having been brought on to bowl for the first time in this series.
