8.45pm India end at 247 for 9, and you almost feel they've under-delivered on the promise of those incredible first ten overs. But it's really, really hard to sustain that sort of momentum through 20 overs, because you'll inevitably lose a few wickets while playing the kinds of shots India's batters were playing. This is still a monumental total, built on the back of Abhishek Sharma's 135 off 54 balls, one of India's great T20I innings. Will there be dew? How will India's spin-heavy attack go on this surface? And can England make a game of this? We will have all the answers very soon, when Vish returns to bring you the start of the chase.

Meanwhile, the Hockey India League came to an end yesterday, with the Bengal Tigers crowned champions, but the league served its purpose - with India's young players shining bright and foreigners keen on returning. Here's why the HIL was a success/a>.

Ed: "Is this all part of McCullum's plan? 500 runs in 40 overs sounds very on brand for Baz(white)ball"

jov: "@kavin on one hand abhishek carted 18 off that over, but if rashid didn't get him, then who knows how many would've come off the last 2"

Barry E: "Big advantage India, but you have to credit England for dragging that rate down from 16s to something vaguely chasable."

Here's Bishnoi.

Syed: "Somewhere at the end of 10th over the forecast was around 250 , almost bang on .. great technology "

Kavin : "Is the Rashid over gamble from Butler is victory for India or England?"

Overton, over the wicket to Axar.

Stays over the wicket to Axar.

Shami is in at No. 9. Wood now from over the wicket to Rinku.

Interesting. Here's Rashid. Archer and Carse have bowled out, but Overton had two overs. Still Buttler trusts his leggie. Over the wicket.
