7:14pm Hello! It's me again. Not far from the chase now.
6.40pm The innings bulletin by Sid Monga is up as well, and should reflect shortly. If you've just joined our coverage, that's your one-stop shop for everything that happened in the first innings.
While the teams break for dinner, there's more from the ESPN stables for you to chew on. Decorated Indian boxer Vikas Krishan spoke to us about turning pro and the journey he's had so far.
6.30pm Twenty-one off the final over, India have the finish they would've desired, but will those slow middle overs, where the focus was on milking of singles instead of the big hits, hamper them? Only time will tell.
First India looked good to get 330, then it appeared as if the middle order would fail to build on the 154-run opening as they accumulated runs to make 300 seem a herculean task. Finally the kick came courtesy Dhoni and Jadhav, which means India are again close to where they would've liked to be. India have made 70 off the last seven overs to have the momentum at the halfway mark.
Summon: "Its amazing how 86 of the final 10 seems decent and struggling at the same time."
Avnish Anshu: "My only worry is has MSD peaked a little too early though. Will he be able to carry or replicate this form in the all important world cup? Seriously hope he does."
