    7.1 and there's the wicket! Back of a length outside off stump, and it's quick and there's extra bounce. Goes hard at the cut, and only manages a top-edge to Pant 61/2
    3.4 bowled him. Was that a change of pace? 123kph, so it probably was. Not easy to pick. Length ball outside off, and Buttler looks to play the flat-bat drive through the covers. Plays too early, and drags it onto his stumps off the inside edge 31/1
    16.3 steps to the off side, and slogged straight up in the air! Pant's only concern is to avoid tripping over the stumps as he steadies himself to swallow a top-edge. But that's the end of a fantastic knock from Malan. 27 from his last nine balls, after a 30-ball fifty 168/4

    9.3 the dipping slower yorker, and Salt plays all over and all around it. Superb stuff. A low full-toss rather than the yorker if you want to be pedantic, hitting the base of off and middle stumps. Salt looks to whip it away through the leg side, and the ball dips below his bat and completely does him for lack of pace. Crucial wicket for India, because he was timing the ball really well since arriving at the crease. 84/3

    16.5 a massive wipe at the googly, and a looping leading edge to point! This is a staggering good over from Bishnoi. England's ambitions are taking a major dent in this over 169/5
    18.5 big top-edge, pocketed by Bishnoi at deep midwicket! Brook climbs into the pull, but it's high on his bat as the bowler cramps his intentions on the angle. Still, a handy cameo to keep England on course for that 220-ish total 197/6
    19.6 flogged at the top of the bounce, out to deep midwicket, they scamper the first but even Jordan isn't quick enough to make it back for the second 215/7

    4.6 got him, Topley strikes with the slower ball. Back of a length, stays more or less stump-to-stump, and asks Rohit to take on the leg-side boundary while having to manufacture all the power himself. Goes hard at the wristy half-pull, half-flick, and hits it straight to the fielder at a square deep midwicket or a deep forward square leg, however you choose to describe him 31/3
    1.1 and he strikes first ball. Is this lbw or caught-behind? A swipe across the line from Pant, and the ball ends up in the keeper's gloves. Went either off the edge or Pant's back leg. Pant consults for a long time with Rohit over whether to review, and in the end they overshoot their 15 seconds before he makes the T sign. Has to walk back, and is there a chance he could have reviewed and survived? We will see very soon. Went past the inside edge - or grazed it - and hit his back leg, and then bounced to the keeper. Ah, replays show there was a faint inside edge onto his back leg 2/1
    2.4 gone, he was looking so good! Steps out again, and looks to slap a wide length ball through the covers. The shot was on, because he had created enough room, but he hits it at catchable height, close to the fielder at short extra-cover, and Roy moves alertly to his left to complete the catch 13/2

    18.5 toe-ended to Salt at long-off! Is that the game! Hitting up and through the length ball, wide line again, but for once Yadav's clean hitting let him down, a well judged take, completed with a tumble, and now it might be slipping away 191/7
    15.1 Iyer makes room to leg, and steers the catch to Buttler! Topley follows him with the back-of-a-length delivery, and gets cramped on his attempted dab through third man. A thin deflection and not much celebration from England... perhaps they recognise it's the other bloke they need! 150/4
    16.5 hopeful appeal, and Buttler reviews It looked leg-sided but it's probably worth a spin of the wheel. Not much doubt it would have been smashing the stumps, but did it pitch in line? Yes it did! It pitched flush on leg, hitting middle, and England prise out the finisher! 166/5
    17.3 yorker, gone! Jadeaj reviews, but this might be optimistic as I think that hit him on the full... dipping right into the toes... in fact, it might have been millimetres short of his boot, but no bat involved, so all on ball tracker... which is taking an eternity... but that's very out! Splintering the stumps from a middle-and-leg point of impact, and this gamble to go to the main men early is currently paying off 173/6
    19.4 another yorker, an attempted scoop, decent contact but Gleeson is well placed on the 45 and swallows the looping chance! 196/8

    19.6 inswinging yorker, back goes off stump! That's an exceptional way to finish a fine game. Jordan's second, and England hold off the SKY surge to win by 17! 198/9
