England vs India Ball by Ball Commentary

OUT! CLEANED UP! A fabulous delivery to finish off the game by Chris Jordan! This is a pacy yorker, tailing into the off pole. Ravi Bishnoi makes a bit of room looking to cover drive but is undone by raw pace. The ball goes on to hit the base of off stump and England win by 17 runs!

Fullish delivery, around off, Ravi Bishnoi thrashes it through the cover region for a couple of runs.

OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Jordan gets a wicket, his first of the game and India lose their eight. This is very full and on middle, Harshal Patel shuffles across the stumps, trying to scoop it behind but ends up chipping it towards short fine leg. Richard Gleeson over there takes a simple catch and England will not be whitewashed.

Excellent bowling from Chris Jordan and that should be it! Gets in the yorker at the toes, at good pace too and there's nothing Harshal Patel can do about it other than keep it out.

Full and on the pads, this is clipped away to the man at deep square leg and Harshal Patel denies the run.

Full and straight, this is drilled down to long on for a single.

FOUR! A boundary to end the over and there might still be a chance of a turnaround, a slight chance that is. Around middle, this is swept up and over square leg and the ball runs away into the fence. 21 needed now off 6 balls. With the new rules in place, England are over the time limit and they will have one less fielder outside the 30-yard circle.

OUT! TAKEN! Moeen Ali does have the last laugh and might have just sealed the game for his team. For the first time in this over, Ali does get it full and wide but inside the tramline. At this point Suryakumar Yadav has to go after every delivery and does so but mistimes it badly. The ball is lofted off the toe end of the bat and Philip Salt races in from the long off fence to take a good diving catch.

WIDE! Fuller and wider, Yadav looks to cut but leaves it at the last moment and a wide is called.

SIX! A huge gamble to bowl the off-spinner in the penultimate over and it isn't paying off for England so far. Tossed up, right in the slot and on middle, Yadav extends his arms and thumps it over the long on fence for a biggie. 30 needed now off 10 balls.

Dinesh Karthik walks right across his stumps and tries to flick it over short fine leg but misses and gets rapped on the pads. There is a huge appeal from the bowler but seems to have pitched outside leg. Thre review is taken and there's no spike on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows that it is pitching in line and going on to hit the middle of middle stump. 50 needed now off 19 balls. Ravindra Jadeja is the new man at the crease.

Appeal for LBW! The umpire does not agree but England review. Where it pitches could be the real question.

FOUR! Magnificent is the word! What a knock this has been from Suryakumar Yadav, shots all around the ground and that too under tremendous pressure, take a bow son. This is full and wide, a low full toss, SKY opens the face of his blade and dissects the fielders at backward point and short third man to pick up a boundary.

Huge shout for LBW but it is turned down, probably impact is outside off. This is the googly again from Ravi Bishnoi turning in a long way from outside off. Jason Roy looks to sweep it away but misses and gets pinged on the pads. Rohit Sharma thinks about the review but decides against it.

Slows it up a touch and bowls it on off, Malan eases it through covers for one.

Misfield and FOUR! Short and wide, Dawid Malan slaps it off the back foot through cover-point. Virat Kohli gets to the ball from the point fence but can't quite keep the ball in play, a boundary.

Premeditated from Roy, this is the googly angled into leg stump, Roy gets low and reverse sweeps it towards deep cover for just one.

Quicker delivery, fuller and around off. This is cut away hard by Roy but Jadeja makes a half stop at point. The batters race back for two.

Another slower delivery, this time bowled into the pitch. Roy with a half-pull through mid-wicket for a run. At the end of the Powerplay, England are 52/1!

Uppish but in the gap! Another slower delivery, on a fullish length and around off. Malan looks to drive on the up but ends up getting a leading edge in between mid off and extra cover for a single.

On the pads, this is tucked away through backward square leg. The fielder from the deep comes charges in but fumbles and allows the batters to come back for the second.

Put down! Harshal Patel drops an easy return catch and Dawid Malan is a lucky, lucky man! Slower one, bowled fuller and around middle and leg. Malan just chips it back to the bowler who makes a mess of it.

FOUR! Up and over! Length again from Harshal, slanted across the off stump. Malan just opens the face of the bat and gets it over backward point for a boundary.

Starts off with a length ball over off, Roy uses his wrists to turn it through mid-wicket for a single.

A single to end an expensive over by Jadeja too! On off, Roy slaps it towards cover and gets to the other end.

Angled into middle, defended.

Slightly shorter, this one turns away a little. It is slapped to covers.

FOUR! Over mid on! Goes with the angle! Fuller and on middle, Roy lifts it over mid on for another boundary. That biggie has really got Roy going here.

Flatter and on middle, defended.

Starts off with a floated up delivery around off, Jason Roy just leans in and launche sit back over the bowler's head for a biggie. A poor start thsi from Jadeja.

End of a very good over by Avesh Khan! The last ball stayed down a touch! Outside off, length. Malan looks to push at it but this does not bounce alot and he is beaten.

WIDE! Way too short and on the body, Malan leaves it alone. Will the extra delivery cost him?

Quite an aggressive shot first up! Shorter and angling away from off. Malan looks to pull but gets an inside edge onto the pads.

Dawid Malan walks out to bat!

OUT! TIMBER! Buttler falls to yet another low score and Avesh Khan gets the much-needed wicket for his side. Buttler was looking good so India will be very happy to see him walk back. Poor shot to be honest! This is short and just outside off, not enough room. Buttler looks to cut with no foot movement, it goes off the inside edge and onto the stumps.

Angled into middle, this is worked to mid-wicket.

Pant could have done better there! Roy steps out and this is shorter and on the body, Roy looks to pull but it hits his body, goes to the right of Pant who is moving to his left. He dives over the ball. A single taken towards third man.

Safe! Fuller and on off, Buttler clears his front leg and lofts it down the ground, not timed that well but hits it well enough to clear mid off. Sharma runs after it and keeps it down to three.

Change! Avesh Khan is back!

SIX! That is massive! Wow! This should probably get Roy going. The last ball spoils the over and it is yet another good one for England. On middle, Roy gets the slog sweep out and it sails over the mid-wicket fence.

Angled into the pads, Buttler works it through mid-wicket for one.

Well fielded! Shorter and outside off, Roy cuts but the fielder at point dives to his right and stops it.

Misses out again! He will be disappointed he did not put that away! On the pads, he sweeps but to short fine leg.

Fuller and on middle, Roy mistimes it to mid off. Roy just has not found his timing in this series so far.

Quicker and outside off, this one zips through. Roy is beaten as he tries to cut.

FOUR! Caressed! 18 from Umran Malik's first! This is finesse. We saw power a few balls ago and now he just uses the pace. Fuller and on off, Buttler times it through covers. No chance for any fielder. England off to a flier.

WIDE! Looks to go full, probably a yorker but ends up slipping it down the leg side. Buttler looks to flick but misses.

SIX! What a shot that is! Wow! Dismissed! This is short and Buttler picks the length early, he rocks back and powers it over the mid-wicket fence for the first biggie of the day. So the first biggie and first boundary of the game comes in the same over.

Angled in on middle, Roy works it through mid-wicket and takes one.

Good pace again! Short and on the body, Buttler looks to pull but misses, it hits his body and rolls on the off side. A leg bye taken.

BEATEN! That is a real effort ball! Shorter and outside off, this one zips through. Buttler is beaten as he looks to push at it. He tried to play a similar shot he did on the last ball but was beaten for pace.

FOUR! That is a top shot! Welcome into the attack! Shorter and outside off, Buttler stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and creams it through point for a boundary. First of the game and Buttler is off the mark in style.

Who will bowl from the other end then? It is Umran Malik.

That is a very good first over by Avesh! Length and on off, this is guided to point. Just the two from it.

This one zips through! Roy steps out but Avesh bowls it shorter and outside off. Roy looks to cut but misses.

Roy is off the mark! He avoids a pair. Shorter and on off, once again it comes slow off the surface, this is pulled through mid-wicket for a couple. The outfield seemed very fast there.

That lands just short! Angled into the pads, Roy looks to flick, it seemed like it held on the surface. It goes uppishly but lands short of the mid-wicket fielder. Three dots in a row.

Back of a length and on off, Roy guides it to the man at point.

A good start from him! On a length and around off, Roy takes a few steps down the track and defends.

We are all set for the action to begin! The two openers for England, Jason Roy and Jos Buttler, walk out to the middle. Avesh Khan has the new ball in hand. Here we go...

TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and it lands in England's favour. They have elected to BAT first.

For England, it is their batting which has been disappointing so far! Quite shocking to be honest, especially the form their players have come into in this game. The series is gone but they would still want to head into the ODI series with a win. They'll have to play really well if they are to do so. Welcome to the coverage of 3rd and the last T20I of this series.
