  1. How's stat?!

    This is the first instance where seven of the top eight batters in a T20I have been left-handers.

  2. Shreyas Iyer finishes with 80 from 49 balls, scoring just over half of his side's runs.

    He'll face an uphill battle if he's to stop his side sliding to a fifth consecutive defeat in completed matches - England will be favourites chasing 159.

    'He's been the glue' - Shreyas reaches half-century in style

    We'll need the technology to sort that out.

    You see a lot of bowlers attempting that. Not many pull it off.

    India have not made the most of their 20 overs.

    WICKET

    Axar run out (Archer) 1 (Ind 158-7)

    Jude Bellingham eat your heart out!

    New batter Axar Patel's first ball is a dot, before a single to cover gets him down the end.

    Shreyas Iyer, on 80, faces the over's final delivery and is struck by Jofra Archer's final delivery.

    The India captain sets off for a bye single, and Archer races down the pitch alongside Axar and side-foots the ball onto the stumps.

    Replays confirm the wicket - India finish on 158-7.

    Not just a wicket but a precious dot ball at the end of the innings.

    Adil Rashid safely pouches it. Barely had to move. Washington Sundar hasn't had a distinguished batting performance tonight. India rather stumbling towards the end of their innings.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Washington c Rashid b Archer 5 (Ind 157-6)

    Dropped into the hands of Adil Rashid!

    Shreyas Iyer and Washington Sundar chip mis-timed shots out into the deep for a single and two respectively, before the latter goes to pull Jofra Archer.

    He doesn't get hold of the shot properly, and Adil Rashid takes a simple catch at long-leg.

    Sam Curran is getting a pat on his back from his county colleague Will Jacks. A terrific over. At this stage of the game to yield just four.

  9. Ind 154-5

    That's some rather fine death bowling from Sam Curran, mostly full deliveries to see just four singles coming off the penultimate over of the innings.

    He finishes with figures of 0-22, while Shreyas Iyer will face the first ball of the final over from Jofra Archer.

    That's changed the complexion! 150-5, two overs to go.

  11. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's a long way back! Beautiful stroke like an aeroplane taking off.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 150-5

    That's gone even further!

    Having chopped Adil Rashid through third for four, Shreyas Iyer ends the over with another six down the ground.

    Rashid finishes with figures of 1-49, with 20 of those runs coming from this over.

    Two overs to go, can Shreyas Iyer bludgeon his side to a respectable total?

  13. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    India need boundaries badly. England love a single and they're not too bothered by a two.

  14. 6 runs

    Ind 140-5

    Lumped down the ground!

    Shreyas Iyer strikes his fourth six of the day, sending Adil Rashid into the stands.

    He moves to 67.

  15. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Shreyas Iyer is holding it all together for India. He's giving them a chance in this game.

  16. Ind 130-5

    New batter Washington Sundar can't get Josh Tongue's final ball away.

    The seamer is finished for today with figures of 2-36.

    Josh Tongue and England celebrate a wicketGetty Images

    That's been the story of India's batting. He started coming down early and I've got a feeling Tongue sensed him coming and banged in a short ball, didn't give him room. He tried to guide him but it looped up. An innings that promised much with that pick-up six has ended.

    WICKET

    Varma c Ahmed b Tongue 11 (Ind 130-5)

    Gone from the following delivery!

    A slower bouncer down leg from Josh Tongue - Tilak Varma tried to ramp it but managed to send the ball to Rehan Ahmed at backward point.

    India's late-innings advance stopped in its tracks.

  19. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    It was effortless. He just helped it on its way, off the middle of the bat.

    Goodness me, that's hit one of the flats up there - three floors up! It's the biggest hit of the night.
