Drinks break. Apart from the last ball, the English openers have been completely unfazed in this chase. Their positive approach, particularly from Alex Lees, has laid the foundation for this record chase and the hosts will be very happy. India have not been accurate with their lines and leaked easy runs. Can they pull things back in the next hour? Mohammed Siraj to continue from the other end.
