England 2nd inns 301-4 (63 ovs); Target: 374 | Scorecard

Akash Deep is back into the attack. Brook plays the first delivery defensively before smashing two back-to-back boundaries. First one through mid-off and the next through mid-wicket.

Out! Brook is gone, caught by Siraj. He attempts a slap over cover off a shortish delivery but ends up slicing it to mid-off where Siraj takes a safe catch.

He goes after making a fine 111 off 98 balls with fourteen boundaries and two sixes. Finally India break the partnership but was it too late?

Jacob Bethell is the new man in. He sees off the remaining two balls of the over. 8 runs come off it. England now need 73 runs. Is there a twist in the tale?
