- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.3 bowled him! length ball on off, nipped back in sharply and the ball sneakes through the bat and pad 25/128.4 gone! Length ball from around the stumps and Dhawan was forced to play. Pitched on off, seamed away ever so slightly and nicked behind 136/245 short on middle and off, miscued his pull and Rashid at fine leg takes a fine catch 250/445.5 middle-leg line, Sanju walks across and flicks nonchalantly to the man at backward square leg 257/4Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL304/5 (50 Overs, RR: 6.08)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Mandeep Singh, 7.3 ov), 2-136 (Shikhar Dhawan, 28.4 ov), 3-227 (Ambati Rayudu, 40.6 ov), 4-250 (Yuvraj Singh, 44.6 ov), 5-257 (Sanju Samson, 45.5 ov)
- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.2 he pushes it across the right-hander just short of a length, and Roy has thrown it away. Tries to slog this one for six as well, but it kept going away from him despite his shuffling across the stumps. The top edge went high and Sharma took a nice catch running in 106/214.3 caught at cover! Kuldeep has broken a strong stand. Hales moved towards leg to make room against a flat and short delivery and ended up slapping it straight to the fielder at cover 95/146.1 bowled for 93! Billings just cannot believe it. Michael Vaughan like dismissal. Full, nothing delivery down leg, Billings misses a flick, the ball hits his pad or trouser and deflects onto the leg stump. Billings has his mouth open in disbelief. The ball wasn't even going to hit leg stump without Billings' pad. At least he scored 93 before this 290/718 WOW! He has tossed this up nicely on middle and Morgan has had enough poking around. He goes to his trusted reverse sweep and gets a fair amount of bat on it, but Dhawan has taken a blinder at slip! Dives low to his left and grabs onto it. Superb. 112/330.2 Oh no, what has he done? It's almost as if he didn't see the fielder at long-off. Tossed up full on off stump, and he has chipped it straight to the man on the boundary. Wasn't even trying with that one. India have a way back. 191/430.4 There it is! The turn from the previous ball clearly had him flustered. This time he tries to sweep it from a length on middle and misses it completely. Pitched in line and might have taken leg stump. No matter what Moeen Ali thinks as he shakes his head about the decision, his shot selection wasn't great 191/545.1 pushed straight back to the bowler. Flight outside off, nice and slow. Dawson gets forward, wanted to push through cover but doesn't quite get to the pitch, thereby enabling the ball to spin a touch. It spins in, takes the inside half and carries back to the bowler. Hard hands from Dawson. Almost a reluctance to leave the crease because he wasn't quite picking Kuldeep 290/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL307/7 (48.5 Overs, RR: 6.28)Fall of wickets: 1-95 (Alex Hales, 14.3 ov), 2-106 (Jason Roy, 16.2 ov), 3-112 (Eoin Morgan, 17.6 ov), 4-191 (Jos Buttler, 30.2 ov), 5-191 (Moeen Ali, 30.4 ov), 6-290 (Liam Dawson, 45.1 ov), 7-290 (Sam Billings, 46.1 ov)
