The FIFA World Cup may be over, but between great goals and even greater fans, memories still remain. ESPN's Jayaditya Gupta, who was in Russia for the last month, picks his favourite moments of the tournament.

4.05pm: That total feels short, but by how much? And can India's spinners give us all second thoughts? It took the No. 9, Shardul Thakur, to summon up some boundary-clearing intent, and England are unlikely to wait so long. They would, you imagine, always feel pretty comfortable chasing 250, but the sight of the ball stopping and turning for Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will surely have pepped up India's trickster-in-chief, Kuldeep Yadav. He has taken 14 wickets in four appearances against England, and a few more here could shake home confidence of a first ODI series win over India since 2011. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough - join Shashank for the chase in a bit.

WATCH - India hit their first six after 637 balls, and then nearly get another one next ball (India only)

Willey to Kumar, OUT, full toss, humped high towards cow... and taken safely in the deep! Willey picks up his third wicket from the final ball, Bhuvi didn't have the power to clear midwicket running around

Willey to Thakur, 1 run, full, taking the pace off, swung down towards long-off for another single

Looks like Shardul is taking off his thigh pad. He means business...

Willey to Kumar, 1 run, Bhuvi goes across and attempts to ramp the ball to leg, doesn't connect but they get one off the inside edge into the pads

Willey to Thakur, 1 run, that's good death bowling, fires in a leg stump yorker and Shardul can only dig out one trying to make room

Willey to Kumar, 1 run, pitched up, maybe a slower ball, mistimed slog down the ground but it lands short of long-on

"Shardul showing how Dhoni should have played!" chirps pmbasu
