  2. Ind 10-0

    Sanju Samson drills it down the ground for four past a diving Harry Brook at mid-off.

    Abhishek Sharma is also off the mark with a boundary with a streaky edge through gully.

  3. It could have been a different story for India had Shivam Dube taken this. It was a woeful fielding display.

    Brook survives as Dube runs under the ball

  4. Ind 0-0

    Target 258

    Jofra Archer steams in and Sanju Samson plays and misses.

    England will go top of the T20 rankings with a win.

    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The good thing with chasing that sort of score you don't have much time to deliberate over it. You have to get on with it and that might play into India's hands on a pitch good for strokemaking.

  6. Tom Banton makes a young lad's day by signing a picture as the fielders make their way to the middle.

    Out come Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson.

  7. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    If England win this game, it's 19 wins in 23 games and that's a good sample size to show they are an elite unit.

  8. Thanks, Tim.

    Well, India have taken a pummelling. Well and truly on the ropes.

  9. Can India land a glove on England during this chase?

    A man with plenty of boxing nous is Kal Sajad and he will talk you through the second part of this contest.

    Jos Buttler back in form is good news for England with an ODI World Cup coming up next year.

  11. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England are starting to build the nucleus of a good side. There is a regularity to the squad.

  12. Phew. Absolute carnage at the Utilita Bowl as India were scorched in the Southampton sunshine.

    257-3 is England's third highest T20 international total and highest score against India.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That is horrendous fielding. It's been a shocking fielding performance from India. There were never two runs there.

  15. England post 257-3

    More fielding blunders for India as Harry Brook manages to scramble a second run off the final ball of the over when for all intents and purposes he should have been run out.

    The England captain finishes unbeaten on 95 off 45 deliveries.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    I can't believe what I've seen. An absolutely straightforward catch.

  17. Eng 255-3

    Harry Brook picks up a couple off Prince Yadav with a thrash through the covers which is cut off by the sweep.

    The England skipper on 93 so no hundred unless there's a no-ball.

  18. dropped catch

    Brook dropped on 90

    Harry Brook pulls Prince Yadav down to Ishan Kishan at deep backward square. It looks a comfortable catch, but he lets the ball slip through his grasp.

    Another sloppy day in the field for India.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Can Harry Brook get to his 100?

  20. Eng 251-3

    Harry Brook needs 14 runs for a century and there's four of them to start as Prince Yadav is drilled straight all along the carpet for four.
