8.35pm: So India go 1-0 up in the series with a four-wicket win. You would have thought the margin between the sides was a lot bigger at various points in the game, but England did at least keep fighting. A total of 248 looked well under par and India demonsrated that by chasing it down with more than 11 overs to spare. There were some jitters along the way, but a swashbuckling fifty from Shreyas Iyer put them back on track, before Shubman Gill and Axar Patel broke the chase with a stand of 108 at a run a ball

Axar Patel has been speaking to the host broadcaster: "I knew from before [about batting at No. 5] to keep left-right combo going. Fast bowlers' balls were coming on to the bat, so we switched to spin. But even spinners were being hit, so credit to them for starting well. [On the three spinners] We knew if we can stick to our lines and lengths, we could make a comeback given they attack the bowlers. Our plan was to make them err as they go for their shots. When we were bowling, the ball was stopping a bit. Their spinners varied the pace well, if our spinners had done the same, we would have got more turn. [On partnership with Gill] Talk was about play as it comes and not think much. As we played on, we targeted the bowlers and spoke about taking it long because it was not easy for a new batter."

Mahmood to Jadeja, FOUR, edged through the keeper, India win! Think Salt has dropped that one - Mahmood had his arm up in celebration - but it won't matter much in the final analysis

Livingstone to Pandya, 1 run, miscued over the bowler! Strange shot from Pandya. Big wind up and then he checks it as the last moment, gets a leading edge that somehow balloons to safety!
