    13.4 Rashid strikes in his last over with a big shooting googly. 81ks length ball landed around fourth and ragged back. Rohit's eyes lit up and he went for a mighty heave while holding his base. In the end, the upper body wound up too much and there was no contact. Ball spinning off the stumps is quite the sight 113/3

    2.4 bowled 'im, straight through! Kohli's tough tournament continues as Topley pegs back leg stump. Another attempt to assert himself against the new ball but this was the perfect length, shaped back in as he heaved across the line, and flicked off the bails, to English delight. Just Topley's second wicket of the tournament 19/1
    5.2 chipped to midwicket! Tame way for Pant to go, and Curran is delighted. Fullish length ball angling in, may have stopped in the pitch slightly. Didn't get any sort of connection as he flicked across it and picked out Bairstow for a head height catch 40/2
    15.4 Slower one is skied, is that six or out? In the air for a while... and Jordan takes it at long-on. Back of handed at 113ks from Archer, slot ball just outside off, looked like SKY picked it. He'd taken the front leg outside leg, had to bring it back and got the momentum into the lofted on-drive. Swung as hard as he could but didn't get enough. Jordan did well, took a few feet in, scuttled back but knew he had a lot of room to settle 124/4
    17.4 Third time's the charm for Jordan, Hardik holes out to long-off. Shot wasn't dissimilar to the six last ball but this was a cutter on a length, unlike the full ball last one. Hardik wound up and clattered with just as much bat speed. Found Curran to perfection. Smiles as he looks at Jordan wile walking back 146/5

    17.5 And nicked off first ball, Jordan on a hat-trick. The first wicket was as T20 as they come, this was Test-y. Fullish length ball on fourth stump and Dube's feet were glued. He felt for it with the bat, opened the face late, but could only guide it to the keeper 146/6
    19.5 Swatted away... straight to long-on. Jordan hitting a length and bowling at the body. Not much space for Axar to work with. Got cramped but heaved across on the rise 170/7

    4.4 pace off, and Salt's off... leg stump pinned back! Beautifully bowled, a slow, dipping offcutter, enticing the big air shot from the batter. Salt holds the pose as he looks down the fairway, visualising where that ball was supposed to end up. Instead, India and their fans in the crowd are celebrating again 34/2
    3.1 angled in from round the wicket, Buttler looking for the reverse-clump... toe-ended straight up into the air for Pant to take! Axar the axe man, chops down England's totem! Never mind Salt, he's an onlooker as his captain misses a swipe across the line, the ball popping up to the keeper. Gaffaney's finger goes straight up and off walks Buttler 26/1
    7.1 has he been stumped after wandering out of his ground...? Moeen is on his knees trying to get back, but Pant thinks he is short. Yes, it's a straightforward one for Joel Wilson and England are four down! Axar fired the ball at Moeen's pads and it clipped the thigh guard as he aimed to leg. Moeen thought the ball had gone much further than it did, and by the time he realised Pant had collected down to his right and broken the stumps, the batter stranded 46/4
    5.1 there's another, off stump rattled! And England rattled, too... A wild hack at one that was always coming back in on the angle. No turn but it stayed a touch low (where have you heard that before?), crashing into the outer half of the stump to spark more jubilation among those in blue shirts 35/3
    10.4 Uno reverse from Kuldeep, is that England done? Brook went across this time, too far across as it turned it. Kuldeep went length, drifted it away before spinning it back in. Brook smothered it last time, but this one went below bat. Kuldeep leaps and roars in celebration 68/6
    8.1 trapped in front playing back, Rod Tucker's finger goes straight up! Curran reviews but perhaps more in hope than expectation. Deep in the crease and he's hit on the front pad playing across the line. Curran has seen enough and is walking... It was a skiddy, low-bouncing wrong'un, would have smashed leg stump according to ball-tracking! India are bossing this, erasing Adelaide line by line from the collective memory 49/5
    14.5 England's last hope gets barbecued. Livingstone ran three-fourth of the way to the other end, Archer came one-fourth before going back. Throw from short fine came at a full toss to Axar's left, who beat Livingstone to the race. Was a length ball close to off, cramped Archer for room and he underedged a cut past the left of the keeper. Looked like Livingstone called and came through but Archer hesitat 86/8
    12.2 Huge appeal. Pant's leaping and dancing and Rod Tucker raises the finger. Jordan committing the cardinal sin of playing across the line on this pitch. That and going cross-batted have been poor options. But has this spun too much? Jordan was deep in the crease, with feet almost jammed, as he tried to clip it it with a slightly closed bat-face. It landed on a length at the edge of off stump, spun back to hit him on top of the knee-roll, and... it's clipping top of leg 72/7

    16.4 That's that. Archer has been given lbw, but he's reviewed. India won't get the full-blown visceral celebration but know they've got this.. He went across, front foot at cover, as the low fully hit the back boot which was in front of middle. Was the angle taking it too far? Bat not close, so that's no issue. Hawk-Eye shows it'd go on to clip leg stump. Third final in ICC tournaments in a year for India! 103/10
    15.2 Remarkable athleticism from SKY. Thought that was Jadeja but no. He's a right hander but collected the ball while running to the other side and back-flicked it on the move like a left-hander as Rashid ran in vain. 88/9
