Rahul Chahar to Jonny Bairstow
OUT! CAUGHT! The partnership is finally broken! Is it the turning point in the game? Flatter and outside off, Bairstow makes room to go over the off side but he ends up slicing it off the toe-end of the bat to point where Sundar takes a simple catch.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Eoin Morgan
Slower ball wide outside off, Morgan plays it away from point and gets a brace as Rahul cleans it up before the ropes.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Eoin Morgan
Off-pace delivery again. This too is outside off but not as wide as the previous one. Morgan punches it closer to KL Rahul at sweeper cover. Gets just a run this time.
15.3

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ben Stokes
FOUR! Finds the gap to perfection! Stokes walks down the track. Bhuvi sees it and bangs it short. Stokes is so much in the mood though that he pulls it right between deep mid-wicket and long on for a boundary.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ben Stokes

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Eoin Morgan
Good ball! Bhuvneshwar almost got the leg pole. Morgan shuffles inside his stumps. Kumar sees this and bowls it on the leg side. Morgan swings but misses. It is close to the leg pole and had Morgan stayed where he originally began, it would have hit his pad. Not a wide.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Eoin Morgan
Yorker around leg. Morgan looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pad. They think to take a leg bye but Bhuvneshwar is quick to get to the ball. Good end to the over. Just 8 off it. England need another 46 from the remaining 4 overs.
16.1
W
Shardul Thakur to Ben Stokes
OUT! CAUGHT! Is this the turning point in this game? Shardul Thakur comes and strikes. Smart bowling from Shardul and Super Ben is out of here. Huge wicket for India. Full and wide from Shardul. He cunningly takes the pace off the ball as well. Stokes looks to smack it over long off but does not get it out of the middle. He ends up finding the man at long off. Suryakumar Yadav there cannot do anything wrong today. He takes a simple catch. 46 needed in 23 balls.England now have two new man in the middle.
16.2
W
Shardul Thakur to Eoin Morgan
OUT! CAUGHT! Two-in-two for Shardul Thakur. Captain Morgan cannot see this ship to the shores and Shardul Thakur now is on a hat-trick. Once again it is the slower one that has done the trick. Shardul rolls his finger on this one and bowls it away from Morgan's arc. He looks to go over on the off side but ends up slicing it to the man at sweeper cover. Washington Sundar there takes a good catch. India's game to lose now.

Shardul Thakur to Sam Curran
Slower ball on middle, Sam Curran defends it to the off side and takes a single.

Shardul Thakur to Chris Jordan
FOUR! SLAMMED! Jordan is off the mark with a boundary. He can bat! Length ball outside off. It is the cross-seam delivery. Jordan punches it on the up through extra cover for a boundary.

Shardul Thakur to Chris Jordan
Slower bouncer on off. Jordan pulls it to the left of Washington Sundar at deep mid-wicket and gets a couple. Just 7 off the over and not to forget two big wickets of Stokes and Morgan. Tremendous from Thakur.

Hardik Pandya to Sam Curran
Oh no! Sloppy all-around! Slower short ball on the leg side. Curran pulls it to fine leg and takes a run. The throw is a poor one. It bounces in front of Pant. It hits his glove and goes behind. The backup is lethargic in his approach and they take an extra run.

Hardik Pandya to Sam Curran
Slower ball again and once again it is bowled into the surface. Curran looks to pull but misses. It hits his body and stays leg side of the pitch. They take a run.
17.3
2
Hardik Pandya to Chris Jordan
Miscued but safe! Short ball on leg, Jordan looks to pull but mistimes it. It works in his favour as it falls in no man's land at square leg. They get a couple.

Hardik Pandya to Chris Jordan
Brilliant from Hardik! He rolls his finger on this one and bowls it on middle and off. Jordan is unable to come to terms with the pace of the ball. He looks to pull but gets an inside edge onto the pad. The ball goes to the off side and they take a single.

Hardik Pandya to Sam Curran
Bouncer down the leg side. Sam looks to hook but misses. He looms at the umpire but there is no signal from him.

W
Hardik Pandya to Sam Curran
OUT! BOWLED! Brilliant from Hardik Pandya. Just 6 off the over and he has finished with his second wicket. He finishes with 2/16 from his 4 overs. Absolutely phenomenal from Kung-Fu Pandya. Once again he takes the pace off the ball and rolls his fingers on this one. It is on middle, Sam Curran goes for the big slog to the on side. He gets a bottom edge, and the ball rolls behind to hit the middle pole. Curran has no idea where the ball is and till the time he realises the zing bails are on the turf.

WIDE! This one is on the wrong side of the tramline. Too wide outside off, Archer swings but gets nowhere close to it.

In the air but in no man's land. Length ball outside off. It is the slower one. Archer mistimes it over cover and gets a couple. 29 needed off 9.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jofra Archer
FOUR! 23 needed off the last over now! Length ball outside off, Archer comes down the track and gets enough on it to send it over short third man. The ball races to the fence.

Shardul Thakur to Jofra Archer
SIX! SMOKED! 12 needed off 3! Archer, you beauty! He has kept his side in this game. Short on off, the dry ball has skided off the surface. Archer pulls it and pulls it nicely to get it over mid-wicket for a biggie.

WIDE! Slower ball bowled into the surface. Shardul looks to be away from the arc of Archer. He overcooks the bouncer. Archer lets it be.

Shardul Thakur to Jofra Archer
WIDE! Shardul Thakur is under pressure now. Pacy ball wide outside off. Too wide as it is well away from the tramline. Pant dives and takes a great, valuable take.

Shardul Thakur to Jofra Archer
Just a single. Length ball outside off, Archer looks to smack it but it hits the lower half of his bat. The splice is flying as Archer's bat is broken. They take a run. For India it is just a run and more importantly, the man who was hitting the long ball, is at the non-striker's end. 9 needed off 2 balls.

Shardul Thakur to Chris Jordan
OUT! CAUGHT! Shardul redeems himself. Jordan cannot get the distance like Archer did and India have sealed this game as long as the next ball is a legal ball. Length ball wide outside off. It is the knuckle ball, Jordan hits it over mid off but does not get the distance and hits it straight to Hardik in the deep. He makes no mistake.

Shardul Thakur to Jofra Archer
Swing and a miss! India have done it! They have won the game and leveled the series. Slower ball outside off, Archer swings but to no avail. INDIA WIN BY 8 RUNS!
