8.43pm You may think this is a middling total, but batting here doesn't look easy. If you're willing to use your variations, then the batsmen must create their own power. The WI spinners were excellent, so were Cottrell and Kesrick, but a special mention for Shivam Dube, who hit his maiden T20I fifty from No. 3. Rishabh Pant was solid too. Be back in ten minutes for the chase.

Cottrell to Chahar, 1 run, good length, on middle. Angling across, and clattered with the swinging bat to deep midwicket
Saurav Prakash: "Despite the result of this match, it was a perfect audition for all players like Dube, Pant, Jadeja, Iyer. I would like to give credit to Kohli for this farsight."

Cottrell to Washington Sundar, OUT, does a salute! Good length on off, and he flat-bats a shot, but it's come off the top-half of the bat. Lobs back to Cottrell, who bends forward on his followthrough to take a soft catch

Cottrell to Pant, no run, the bat's gone to square leg! Full, on off, and Pant wants to send it into the beach. But the bat flies off his gloves... probably since his hands are sweaty. Also means it must be getting dewy at the ground
