We are back for the run chase! The Indian players make their way out to the middle, followed by Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will start with the ball.
Right then! India manage to score 329 but they would know that it would not be easy to defend as the last time they got to a score like this, England belted them out of the park. The visitors, on the other hand, will back themselves to chase this down. Can they do it? We will find out as the chase begins in a while.
Hardik Pandya is there for a chat. He says that they would have liked a few more runs. Adds that they felt that they would have got 360 or more but he and Pant got out at the wrong time. Adds that they like to back themselves to hit the ball out of the ground. States that they did not get the score that was expected and it would have been different if Pant and himself batted any longer. Goes onto say that they need to make it difficult for England. Tells that they need to be smart and if they bowl at the right areas, they have a good chance. And tells that he would be bowling.
The bowling from England did not start off too well. They gave away too many freebies at the start and Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma feasted on it but when the spinners came on, they made comeback as Rashid sent back Sharma and Dhawan quickly and then Moeen got rid of Virat Kohli. They looked clueless once again when Pant and Hardik were going strong but once Pant was sent back, England made a roaring comeback as they did not let India get off the hook. Mark Wood looked tired but you cannot question his commitment. He ran in hard all day and was rewarded with three wickets in the end while Topley and Rashid were expensive. Overall, it is a decent comeback.
India started off magnificently with Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma going all guns blazing. They raced to 103 for no loss in no time and were on top. Shikhar Dhawan was the star with a fine knock. Sharma played well but he fell and that opened the floodgates as they lost their next three wickets in quick time. But Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant counterattacked and they were belligerent with the bat. Both tonked the English bowlers but they fell at the wrong time. Shardul Thakur did hit some lusty blows but just when it was time to press on the accelerator, they lost 4 wickets for 8 runs and India have been bowled out for 329.
What a comeback from England! They have bowled out India for 329 and India lost their last 4 wickets for just 8 runs. At one stage, the hosts were looking like they will reach over 350 but it was not to be as England go back to the dressing room a very happy side. England have done really well to bowl out India and they should back themselves to chase this down.
48.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! That ends the innings from India! India lose their way at the fag end to end up which could come to haunt them later when England come out to chase.

47.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! BOWLED! With the pace of Wood, you certainly need the experience to play and Prasidh still is new to this format.

Length and around off, Krunal stays on the front foot and looks to slash it over the off side as he looks to up the ante but in the end, he ends up slicing it high up in the air. Roy from point runs back and keeps the eye on the ball as he keeps his head steady. He dives ahead and takes a good tumbling catch.
