Jofra Archer to Harshit Rana, out Caught by Jos Buttler!! Edged and taken! Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Harshit Rana looks to slap it hard, gets a feather and Buttler knew it so he didn't try throw the ball to the stumps even as Tilak Varma was trying to steal a bye. Harshit Rana c Jos Buttler b Jofra Archer 6(3) [6s-1]

Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, FOUR, this is a brilliant cameo already! Archer went for the wide yorker but Tilak smartly opened the bat face and sliced it over short third man. Harshit goes and punches gloves with Tilak for an amazing hit again

Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX, he does go into the wicket but it's not really risen high enough to trouble Tilak. This was an amazing shot though and even Archer smiles! Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Tilak moves across and slogs, had to fetch it but he nailed the timing

Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX, smashed high and handsomely over long-on. The pitch has the bowler's best friend when they bowled into the wicket, Jofra Archer aimed for the yorker and dished out a slot ball, only to get belted down the ground

Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, SIX, full toss and belted over long-on. A much needed hit from Harshit Rana to rare bad ball from England in this wonderful phase for them. Josh Tongue aimed for another of-side yorker, dished out a fullie and got smacked down the ground

Josh Tongue to Axar Patel, out Axar Patel Run Out!! Jos Buttler aimed for the stumps at the striker's end but it's hit the stumps at the bowler's end and Axar is out. Buttler has a sheepish smile on his face. Short slower delivery, Axar Patel looks to pull, under edge rolls to the keeper. Tilak wanted strike so he took off. Buttler underarmed the ball. Tilak would have been short with a direct-hit. Axar was on the back foot to play the shot so he couldn't take off quickly and was caught short at the other end. Axar Patel run out (Jos Buttler) 2(3)

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Liam Dawson!! This is too full, he's sliced this high and it's another catch close to extra-cover. Full and outside off stump, Ishan looks to loft down the ground again, bat turns in his hands and goes higher than intended. Walks back on 49. Ishan Kishan c Liam Dawson b Sam Curran 49(40) [4s-6]

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, shot! Full and wide outside off stump, Ishan Kishan reaches out and lofts it over cover to start the over well

Will Jacks to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, they were struggling to hit the ball down the ground so Ishan has decided he will go square and with the turn so he brought out the reverse sweep and managed to clear backward point

Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Tom Banton!! That's a skier and taken at mid-off. Six singles in the last over and four dots, three singles and the wicket in this over. England have made a mega comeback. This is a slot ball that usually gets punished. Either the aging ball isn't coming on as expected or just that the batters aren't adapting. With pressure on him, Dube tries to break free. Gets it on the bottom of the bat and Banton, who's been there everywhere today, runs to the left from extra-cover and takes a fine catch again. Shivam Dube c Tom Banton b Sam Curran 5(7)

Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, so unlucky for the bowler! Was such a good over, still is, but those figures get slightly spoilt because of this outside edge four to third man. Jofra Archer shakes his head and walks off to his fielding mark. Low full toss, Ishan Kishan backs away and slashes, thick edge escapes past Jos Buttler

Liam Dawson to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Tom Banton!! The plan to wide bowl has worked. Shreyas Iyer wanted to take as much as he could against the spinner. He stepped out again, Liam Dawson kept this wide of his arc. Shreyas didn't curb himself, wanted to go for a lofted drive over cover, mistimed it off the bottom of the bat and the cameras pick up some lovely shots of Banton sprinting in from long-on, with eyes locked on the ball despite carrying the speed and he make it look so smooth. Shreyas Iyer c Tom Banton b Liam Dawson 37(22) [4s-3 6s-1]

Liam Dawson to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, oh brilliant! Brilliant because the bowler rushed him, gave no room, but Shreyas still managed to generate so much power through the back foot, into the pull and sent it high over deep mid-wicket. Such a quality player of spin. Only a few batters could have hit that for six

Josh Tongue to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, third man up so he wanted to dab fine, but the ball took the under edge and rolled between the keeper and the short third man fielder. Shreyas was tall on the back foot and tried to adjust for the bounce, didn't bounce as much and he got away with it

Adil Rashid to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, short and outside off stump, Ishan Kishan slaps it hard off the back foot and sends it through cover for four. This is not please Adil Rashid further

Adil Rashid to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, poor from Salt in the deep. He's taken some blinders in the deep and Adil Rashid isn't impressed with this dropped chance. Did he misjudge it and ruin in initially? The bowler was really gutted because he actually deceived Ishan in the flight. This was a floaty flighted delivery, a proper tease for Ishan and he got sucked into a mistimed loft. Salt was well inside at deep mid-wicket. When the ball came to come he was falling back and trying to catch it overhead, only managed to tip it over to the ropes. Interestingly, only got one hand to it

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, plenty of width, he cuts hard even as the bottom hand comes off, goes racing to the right of deep backward point and Rashid can't get to it

Adil Rashid to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, on a pitch with so much bounce, it's going to just sit up even if it's slightly short. Iyer rocks back and pulls it hard wide of deep midwicket

Liam Dawson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, opens his account with a boundary! Flat length ball just outside off, hardly any width but Iyer opens the face and carves it wide of short third

Sam Curran to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Tom Banton!! An expensive over from Curran ends with a wicket! He gets rid of Abhishek who had a mixed-bag kind of innings today. Either smashed it or was beaten, no in-between. Low full toss at the stumps, swings across the line, doesn't get hold of it and it's straight to Banton at deep midwicket. Abhishek Sharma c Tom Banton b Sam Curran 43(24) [4s-8 6s-1]

Will Jacks to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Stumped!! Sooryavanshi has been stumped! It's being checked with the third umpire but he's surely out of the crease. The only thing to see is whether Buttler has collected it behind the stumps, which he has. So that's Sooryavanshi done for today with 14 to his name. Pushed through flat outside off by Jacks, probably saw him give the charge and outfoxed him. The attempted cut is in vain and Buttler does the rest. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi st Jos Buttler b Will Jacks 14(10) [6s-2]

Will Jacks to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, swings hard, miscues it in the air and it falls well short of long-off

Josh Tongue to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, he won't have any problems when the ball is there! Way too full on off stump as he switches to round the wicket, Abhishek clears the front leg and belts it down the ground over mid-off

Josh Tongue to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, now Abhishek finds the middle! Has been a struggle so far but this is full and wide, right in his zone and he carves it over point. Third man is fine, can't cut it off

Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, wayyyyy back in the crowd! Slower one floated up on off, right in the slot and Sooryavanshi picks the bones out of it. Nicely waits in the crease before that big batswing takes over and launches it over midwicket

Jofra Archer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, Sooryavanshi announces his arrival at the international stage! Down on one knee, backs away and gets under the length to sweep it over the keeper's head. Goes sailing over the ropes and it's his first six at this level

Jofra Archer to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, not where he intended but it's four for Abhishek to get off the mark! Full delivery swinging away from off, Abhishek tries lofting down the ground (or maybe over cover), but ends up slicing it off the outside half over short third
