Meanwhile, here's some innings break reading for you: with only a month to go for the Olympics, this is how the preparation of India's top 10 medal hopes are going.
Liam Livingstone: Just to try and keep things simple. Use the pitch, bowl into the wicket. He brought me on to get wickets but it came out alright. There's low bounce, but that's always the case here. Hope we can adjust to that. We've got a lot of firepower, fingers crossed we'll get through.
As for this innings, Rohit was aggressive had to adjust and manipulate his range of shots because the ball was holding up and the bounce was low at times. He stitched a good stand with SKY after Topley and Curran got the big wickets of Kohli and Pant. There was a rain-break during their stand. Upon return, they had to be selective again. Got a big over or two but Livingstone and Rashid were hard to put away. Rohit and SKY's combined 104 off 75 balls with cameos from the allrounders have taken India to 171. Archer and Jordan were taken down but were able to come back, with wickets too, and helped restrict. Is that enough?
2:34pm: Not the ideal innings not least due to the delayed start and the rain breaks but India kept falling forward and have put on 171. It's very close to the 168 at Adelaide a couple years ago but this pitch ain't straightforward. Balls are keeping low and cutters will aid bowlers. Bumrah and Kuldeep will be a handful but if England do well in the powerplay, they can bite into the target.
