Shailesh K: "Nearly the World Cup Final Score in just 20 overs :( :)"

Muru: "With this Indian line-up, T20 World cup is possible for India"

8.45pm The last seven overs produce 111 runs. One-hundred and eleven. That is at a rate of nearly 16 runs an over. During this phase, Kishan shifted gears dramatically from being on 26 off 22 balls to end with 52 from 32; Gaikwad got to his fifty too; and Rinku bashed 31 off just nine balls, with four fours and two sixes. There was expectation that this was a slow pitch which would have some turn, but who knew at the time that India would end with 235, their fifth-highest T20I score? The future is in some terrific hands. Join Sreshth for the chase.

Ellis to Singh, FOUR, helps this past the keeper! Opens the face of the bat pretty late at this high-ish full toss, which is wide of off. He just reaches out without any foot movement, playing between Wade and short third

Aqueel: "Future squad of India has more lefties than RHB"

Ellis to Tilak Varma, SIX, just beats the man at deep point! The fielder moved to his left, but the ball barely went over him. Ellis bowled on a length, angling it in but bowling wide of off. Tilak presented the full face of the bat, and lofted with little effort

Anjan: "Forget SKY, Rinku is playing unbelievable cricket!!"

Ellis to Tilak Varma, 1 wide, bowls a slower short ball, but it's too high. Called first bouncer too, as Ellis bowled short and around off, with Tilak letting it go

Ellis to Gaikwad, OUT, taken at long-on! Another slower ball from Ellis, although the length was pretty much ideal for the hoick across the line, and over long-on. But there was little timing there, as the ball went to long-on, where David took it over his head with a reverse cup

Ellis to Gaikwad, SIX, Gaikwad joins the fun! Six over the bowler's head. A slower ball on a fullish length outside off, as he gets down early to have a launch with a flat bat

Ellis will finish the innings
