50-run partnership between Malan and Livingstone!
A fightback of sorts from this duo of Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone. 50-run stand off 41 balls but England still have a long way to go in this chase. They still need 185 runs @ 6.61 RPO. This partnership has to go the distance if England are to put up a fight in this massive chase. England 145/4

End of 20th over | England 132/4 | Need another 198 runs off 180 balls @ 6.6 RPO
An expensive comeback over from Prasidh Krishna. 13 runs off it including three boundaries. Equation still under control for England at this stage but wickets will be the main concern for them from here in this big chase of 330. Krunal Pandya to continue from the other end.
19:33 (IST) Mar 28
Prasidh to Livingstone | FOUR! FOUR!
Consecutive boundaries for Liam Livingstone off Prasidh Krishna. The first one was beautifully flicked to fine-leg and then a perfect straight drive. England 127/4
19:30 (IST) Mar 28
Another review from India but Malan survives!
This time Krunal Pandya traps Dawid Malan in front. Another huge shout from the Indian camp but umpire Nitin Menon is unmoved. Virat Kohli reviews it. Ball-tracking confirms that the delivery was comfortably missing the leg stump. The on-field umpire is spot on this time. Malan survives! India lose a review.
19:25 (IST) Mar 28
Thakur to Livingstone | FOUR! FOUR!
Back-to-back boundaries for Liam Livingstone off Shardul Thakur. First a solid on-drive and then follows it up with a cracking pull shot. England 114/4 after 17.5 overs.

100 up for England!
Liam Livingstone takes a comfortable single off Hardik Pandya on the on-side as 100 comes up for England after 16.5 overs. They are still a long way away in this chase and losing wickets at regular intervals. Not a single promising partnership so far for them in this chase of 330.

LBW review from India |Buttler has to go back| OUT!
OUT! Shardul Thakur hits the front pad of Jos Buttler and a loud shout from the Indian camp. Virat Kohli and Co. are stunned with the decision of the on-field umpire. Kohli takes the review and is spot on! Buttler is caught in front of the stumps. And he has to go back. Umpire Anil Chaudhary reverses his decision and Kohli erupts in joy. First pumps with the teammates and a stare at Buttler as the England skipper walks back for 15.

End of 14th over | England 86/3 | Drinks Break!
An 8-run first over from Shardul Thakur including a boundary from Jos Buttler. India still on top of England at this moment. A couple of wickets and India will be really close to clinching the series. England still need 244 runs to win at 6.78 RPO.

18:57 (IST) Mar 28
End of 13th over | England 78/3
This time T Natarajan produces an excellent over. Four dot balls followed by a couple of singles. Seems like the wicket of Ben Stokes has boosted his confidence quite a bit. Shardul Thakur now comes into the attack!
18:52 (IST) Mar 28
11.2 overs | Prasidh to Malan | FOUR!
Short and wide outside off from Prasidh Krishna. Dawid Malan throws his bat at it. Just clears the backward point fielder and the ball races to the fence.

Natarajan gets rid of dangerman Stokes!
Huge moment in the game and the series as T Natarajan removes Ben Stokes for 35. Full toss on the pads from Natarajan and Stokes hit it straight to Shikhar Dhawan in the deep. A thigh-five from Dhawan as he goes into celebration mode. On-field umpires check for the no ball (height of the full toss) and the third umpire rules it in favour of the bowler. England 68/3 after 10.3 overs.
