12.6
4
Harshal Patel to Moeen Ali
FOUR! Nicely played by Moeen Ali! An attempted slower bouncer, way too short and over off stump. Ali just gets some bat on it and gets it fine into the fine leg fence. 97 needed now off 42 balls.

Hardik Pandya to Moeen Ali
SIX! Moeen Ali keeping the English hopes alive! Short of a length, on middle and leg. Ali swings it away high and towards deep mid-wicket. Virat Kohli is a bit inside and has to back peddle but the ball sails just over him for maximum.

Hardik Pandya to Moeen Ali
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Moeen Ali will be thoroughly disappointed with that shot. Pitched up right in the slot around off, Ali stays deep in his crease and looks to hammer it over mid off. Ali hits it firmly but without any sort of elevation. Rohit Sharma is on the edge on the circle and takes a comfortable catch around head height. Hardik Pandya with the golden touch yet again and England might just be done and dusted here.
14.3
W
Hardik Pandya to Chris Jordan
OUT! RUN OUT! Absolutely catastrophic for Chris Jordan and England. Back of a length, on off, Jordan plays it off the back foot and in front of mid-wicket. Jordan looks for two straightaway as the fielder charging in is Yuzvendra Chahal but David Willey says no. Jordan is already halfway down the track and the throw is in a good one. Rohit Sharma at the bowler's end whips off the bails and Jordan can keep walking back to the pavilion.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Richard Gleeson
OUT! CAUGHT! Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets his third wicket now and India are just one wicket away from another comfortable victory. A slower length delivery on middle. Richard Gleeson who looks to go over the top is completely outfoxed by the change of pace. The ball loops up in the air behind the bowler and Kohli at mid off runs to his right and slightly behind and takes a fine catch.

Harshal Patel to Matt Parkinson
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Harshal Patel finishes things off with a perfect yorker! He bowls it right in the blockhole at 131 kph. Matt Parkinson who needed to see off this last delivery, just could not get his bat down in time and sees his leg stump uprooted. It has been a brilliant performance yet again from India as they win by 49 runs!
