Chris Jordan to Rishabh Pant
SIX! All the way! Fuller and outside off, once again it is a slower one. Pant plays a similar shot he did on the last ball but this time hits it uppishly and clears the cover fence. India are in a hurry to end this.

Chris Jordan to Rishabh Pant
OUT! TAKEN! Pant is out of here now! On middle, it is a slower one. Pant looks to whip it but ends up chipping it towards the man at deep mid-wicket and Jonny Bairstow takes a simple catch. Pant goes back mumbling a few things to himself as he was not happy with this stroke. But his quick cameo has helped India.

SIX! FIFTY FOR VIRAT KOHLI! His 26th ton in this format and he has been on fire. There were a lot of questions regarding his form but he has shut everyone down with this display. On a good length and around off, charges down the track and lofts this one nicely over the long off region for a biggie.

Adil Rashid to Virat Kohli
NOT OUT! Kohli does not go back. It was good work by Jos but it does not matter. Floated around off, spins away as Kohli lunges forward, looking to push this one away but misses. Buttler collects the ball and whips the bails off. An appeal and the square leg umpire takes this one upstairs. Replays roll in and the third umpire has a couple of looks at this and decides that there is a part of the boot, behind the crease and so this will be not out.
