Kohli gone for 56, Ali actually manages to keep one in his hands on the boundary.

169-2

Wood to Kohli, OUT

Caught at deep square leg . Moeen makes no mistake this time. He had timed this well actually. Fuller on the stumps and Kohli came forward to use those tensile wrists to whip this away. Didn’t keep it down and hit it well enough that it carried all the way.

Virat Kohli c Ali b Wood 56 (60b 6x4 0x6) SR: 93.33

Looks like Billings has damaged his shoulder trying to stop a boundary, he fell awkwardly on to hi elbow, might be dislocated…

That’ll be us 1 batsman down in the reply then…

Shreyas Iyer gone for 6 from 9 balls

Climbing ball got the shoulder of his bat and looped to deep cover for a good catch by the sub.

Shreyas Iyer c sub (LS Livingstone) b Wood 6 (9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.67

187-3, 34.5

Dhawan, 2 short of his ton, chips an easy catch to Morgan off of a Stokes ball

Stokes to S Dhawan, OUT

He’s caught at midwicket . Unfortunat to fall so near his 100. Short ball and he laid into it with a crisp pull, but Morgan’s at midwicket in the circle and he’s grabbed it low to his right. Dhawan fall for 98, end of a fine innings.

Shikhar Dhawan c Morgan b Stokes 98 (106b 11x4 2x6) SR: 92.45

197-4

Dhawan gone! 98

197-4

A Stokes wicket maiden that last over…

Stokes get Hardik Pandya at 2nd slip, trying to guide it down to 3rd man and he gets it too fine.

c Bairstow for 1

205-5

Pandya replacing Pandya :slight_smile:

Morgan’s gone off injured now as well, some blood on his hand, taters think he might have split the webbing on his hand. We might be 2 batsmen light in our reply now, although Billings may be able to bat after some treatment.

45 overs, 250-5, India accelerating helped by some very ordinary bowling…

Krunal Pandya now 48 from just 24 balls, 288-5

Morgan has had 4 stitches in the webbing betwene his thumb and forefinger on his right hand, he still expects to bat!!

21 runs from Wood’s last over.

292-5, 48 overs gone.

Krunal 50 from 26, on debut, he looks pleased by that, his brother looks pleased as well.

Fastest 50 on debut in ODI apparently, the bowlers don’t know where to bowl at him…

Bodyline him

Rahul 50 up from 39 balls, like I say the bowlers are making it easy for them.

12 from that last Curran over, good 6 off of the last ball which fell slightly short of a decent yorker.

304-5, 1 over remaining

317-5, England’s bowling sort of faded in the last 10 overs, 100+ runs from them.

Going to be a hard run chase, especially with 2 injured batsmen.

Billings has a bruised collarbone but will still bat.
