    0.3 straight up and gone! Arshdeep goes short of a length again, gets this to move away and rear up awkwardly on Salt who gets a leading edge as he looks to turn it to the leg side and Samson takes a dolly. The ball may have also zipped through a lot faster than Salt may have anticipated. 0/1

    2.5 what a comeback, and what a catch! Arshdeep becomes India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is as he overtakes Chahal. Duckett looks to flick it over midwicket but gets a leading edge with two men at cover running back, sighting the ball over their shoulder. Rinku does well to cover good ground and make the catch look ridiculously easy. 17/2

    16.2 another wipe to the leg-side, brilliant catch! Buttler hoisted the length ball off his hips, it was in the air to deep midwicket but seemingly safe. Reddy, however, hurtled in off the rope, flung himself forward, and grabbed it in both hands, six inches from the ground 109/8

    7.3 sneaks through the gap, what a comeback! Varun bowls a wrong'un this time, the ball drifts in and rips back as Brook gets a thin inside edge onto the pad before hitting the stumps. Had the makings of an exciting innings but doesn't last long. 65/3

    7.5 what a ball, what a bowler! Varun gets this top not just drift in but also fizz through. It gathers pace as it keeps coming back in to beat Livingstone's drive. I suspect he played for the turn when there was none. 65/4

    11.5 sits deep in the crease again, launched to deep midwicket! Something had to give, Bethell hadn't been allowed to settle, and this was the first ball that was seemingly in his arc... but he couldn't get the full extension of his arms through the pull and England's innings is in the soup now 83/5

    13.3 huge height on the miscued drive! At least it can be said there was power in the stroke, but not much else going for that. Overton gallumphed into position to drill through the covers, misjudged the length, got underneath it, and cover did the rest. England's one-man show is a flop so far 95/6

    15.6 and that, as they say, is that. One of the most chronic T20 innings ever witnessed, he goes for a charge, misses the ball by a mile, the keeper gathers outside off, and whips off the bails. On the plus side for England, it's the end of the over 103/7

    19.4 short and wide again, carved high, high, high out to point! That stuck in the pitch as Archer swung for the hills. Just a toe-end of impact, and it wasn't enough to clear the inner ring. England's sorry innings sinks further 130/9

    19.6 huge hack across the line, no contact, Samson gathers and unleashes the direct hit! Not even a final bye to lift England's total, they've been bowled out with their final ball 132/10

    11.5 and this time he does find the man! It was full licence for carnage for Abhishek, with this match already won. Another step down the pitch, but this time the wrong'un dips and grips, takes the outside edge of a swinging blade, and steeples to Brook at long-off. What a magnificent onslaught that was! 125/3

    4.5 gets this to go a mile into the night sky as he top-edges a pull he fetches from way outside off, and Salt takes a superb catch at it swirls down in the haze. This was a superb change of pace from Jofra - went with a leg-cutter that Surya was too early into. 41/2
