    14.4 Rashid provides England the breakthrough with the wrong'un. On a length and zipping in to strike the top of off. Rohit didn't pick the variation at all, playing for the legbreak. The spinner cuts the opening stand at 103. Rashid will now have Kohli to work with 103/1

    16.4 chipped tamely back to the bowler! A tumbling take in Rashid's followthrough, just catching the leading edge as Dhawan's face closes on a clip to the leg side, failed to pick the googly perhaps... that's a massive double-strike for England! 117/2

    17.4 a horrible hack from Kohli and he's bowled! Oh wow, that's turned a fair bit from an off-stump line, but Kohli's eyes were bigger than his stomach there, he rocked back for something wildly optimistic over the off-side, and had his leg stump clipped as the ball surged through... well, not so much a gate as a vacated citadel! England, from an invidious situation, are right back on it! 121/3
    35.6 edged and Buttler sticks out his left hand and pulls off a super-sharp one-handed catch. He makes it look ridiculously easy. Seam-up, pretty full and outside off, Pant camps back and aims to whip it away to the leg side. The ball hits the back of the bat and here comes Buttler's athletic intervention 256/5
    24.2 a second-ball wicket for Livingstone! It's a terrible ball, but it's bagged a massive scalp! A hip-high full toss, drawing a one-handed thump across the line, and Moeen behind square pulls off a blinder, pouncing to his left to cling on in both hands! 157/4

    38.6 Pandya shuffles across off, exposes his stumps, Stokes hits the leg stump. England have dismissed Pant and Hardik in a space of four overs. Pandya pre-meditates, probably aiming for a glance, but Stokes bests him in the end 276/6
    47.2 Roy runs back from point, tumbles, and snaffles this. Back of a length and outside off. Pandya swings, ends up slicing it high, and holing out for a boundary-less 25 off 34 balls 328/8
    45.6 End of a charming cameo from Thakur. Wood hits that hard length once again outside off, gets it closer to off this time. Wood cranks it up to 144ks. Thakur has another mow to the leg side and ends up nicking it behind. Buttler judges it well and takes it to his right 321/7
    48.2 Topley hits that in-between length outside off. Bhuvneshwar clears his front leg and aims to slug it down the ground. He can only carve it in the air. Curran swoops in from mid-off and pouches it to wrap up India's innings 329/10
    47.6 Wood nails the stumps. Krishna backs away outside leg and has a feeble prod at it. Wood fires it full and pings middle stump 329/9

    0.6 zings through the gate! Like I was intimating... in spite of the runs, Roy never quite looked at his imposing best in that extraordinary over, and he's undone with an utter pearler! Perfect length, perfect shape, nipping off the pitch, into the timbers through a flat-footed response! 14/1
    2.6 way across his stumps and Bairstow is gone! He has reviewed, but that looked pretty adjacent to the naked eye. It may only be height that can save him. Leg stump is visible on the replay as his bat misses with a clip. Yep, thumping the top of leg, and both England's openers are gone! 28/2
    10.3 full bunger on the pads, and Stokes has launched that straight to square leg! Huge moment ... is this above waist height? Stokes advanced to meet the ball, and that may undo him on the balance of probabilities. The ball was dipping, and yep, he has to go! That's a vast moment in this game. Advantage all India now 68/3
    25.4 Thakur wheels away after getting the other set batsman: Malan. Hip-high short ball outside off, Malan jumps back and swats it straight into the lap of Rohit at short midwicket 168/6
    15.1 inducker from Thakur, slams the pad, not given out lbw. Kohli has a chat with Pant and asks for a review. Fullish and jagging back in to beat the inside edge and hit the front pad just above the knee-roll. Was this heading past leg stump? Nope, ball-tracking suggests that it would have struck leg stump. Golden arm: Shardul Thakur. Umpire Chaudhary has to reverse his on-field not-out decision 95/4
    23.5 Another England batsman is dismissed off a full-toss, Thakur gets lucky this time. Livingstone winds up to drill it away past Thakur. Instead, he can only toe-end it weakly back to the bowler 155/5
    30.3 lobbed to mid-off! A hard-handed drive from Moeen, but that thumps the toe of the bat, can't get the power through the stroke, and Hardik atones by leaping forward to scoop the low chance! 200/7

    39.2 stunner from Kohli in the covers! A chipped drive, low to the skipper's left, he was only going to get there with one hand, and he plunges superbly to grab, and out pop his eyes on stalks. A one-man meme machine in this contest! Thakur's cutters make the priceless breakthrough! 257/8
    49.1 decent yorker, decent connection, drilled to long-on, Wood gets his World Cup final skates on in an attempt to run back to the danger end, but it's a brilliant bullet throw from Pandya to the keeper, and he's short! 317/9
