8.35pm At 127 for 8, England would've taken 171. Would they have taken it at the toss, though? R Ashwin, who knows a thing or two about T20 cricket, believes the pitch isn't all that easy to bat on because he doesn't think the bounce is true. And if there isn't much dew, as has been the case so far, England still have runs they can play with.

But then you'd also think with their batting might, India will fancy themselves chasing these after Varun Chakravarthy has set it up for them with yet another sensational spell of mystery spin.

We'll be back very soon with Vish ready to kick off India's chase.
