OUT! CAUGHT! Ambrish breaks the 92-run partnership for the eighth wicket. Slammed really hard into the pitch, around the leg stump line, climbing at shoulder height of the batter. James Minto is rushed on the pull shot and only manages a fat top edge. The ball spoons over towards backward point. The sub fielder, Mohamed Enaan, moves a bit to his right in the inner ring and takes a safe catch. James Minto falls for 28 off 41 and England are 269/8, needing 143 from 88 balls.

England are 281/9.

SIX! HUNDRED FOR CALEB FALCONER! A quality knock from the young bloke. A future star has emerged for England. Fired onto the pads, on a fuller length, Caleb Falconer gets inside the line and whips it cleanly behind deep backward square leg for a huge six. Removes the helmet, kisses the badge and raises his bat to soak in all the applause from his teammates. 

SIX! Astounding shot! Serves it full and around the off pole, Caleb Falconer brings his bottom hand into play and mercilessly pumps it over wide long off for a cracking six. 

Low full toss, on middle, Falconer whips it through mid on and takes the single to retain the strike. England need 105 from 60 balls, with just one wicket in hand. 

FOUR! He keeps going on and on! From around the stump, Kanishk bowls a low full toss, on the stumps, Caleb Falconer quickly changes his stance and reverse ramps it over the short third fielder for a boundary.

OUT! CAUGHT! The Boys in Blue have done it. Chouhan fires it full around off, Falconer shuffles back to manufacture room and steer it into the off side, but the ball only finds the edge. It flies towards backward point, dips teasingly in front of the fielder. Khilan A. Patel throws himself forward to pluck it just inches above the turf. India erupt in celebration, but the third umpire steps in to check whether the catch was taken cleanly or if it's a bump ball. The replays confirm it travelled straight to the fielder, and Khilan ensured his fingers were safely underneath the ball as he completed a clean catch. So, the verdict goes in favour of India as OUT loads on the giant screen. Falconer is on his haunches in absolute dismay. The celebrations start in the Indian dressing room and the joy knows no bounds in the blue camp. A couple of Indian players uproot the stumps and pick them up as keepsakes. INDIA WIN BY 100 RUNS!
