India vs England Live Updates: A humdinger of a contest in Chennai. India never really got going. The openers perished early thanks to the pace from the English duo of Wood and Archer. SKY started fast. But fell. India kept losing wickets at one end. But Tilak rode his luck a little. Arshdeep had a brain fade moment when he fell to Rashid. Tilak kept at it. Bishnoi gave him good support and India went over the line in a photo finish. England would rue the fact that Carse and Rashid’s spell got them back into this. But Archer’s costly spell didn’t help their cause as he leaked 60 runs off his four overs.
Jamie Overton to Tilak Varma, FOUR, Tilak Varma does it for India! Overpitched outside off, Tilak bends his back leg and batters it through extra cover. Runs to the other end, punches the air in delight and off comes the helmet. He has his arms aloft as the Chepauk crowd goes berserk
Jamie Overton to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, 121.6kph, full and on the pads, whipped away through backward square leg. That's heading towards the boundary but Livingstone sprints across to his right
Livingstone to Ravi Bishnoi, FOUR, second boundary for Ravi Bishnoi! 92kph, fuller ball, Ravi Bishnoi moves leg-side to go over the covers and gets an outside edge that goes through backward point. Dribbles away to the fence. Just 6 needed now!
Livingstone to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, 97.5kph, turned into the midwicket pocket and they decide to take two.
Brydon Carse to Ravi Bishnoi, FOUR, 141.8kph, valuable boundary from Ravi Bishnoi's bat. Full and angling in, the line is too straight and Bishnoi neatly clips it through midwicket. The timing is good and the man in the deep is too square
Adil Rashid to Arshdeep Singh, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! He goes for it and perishes! 80.7kph, legbreak on a length, Arshdeep gets down and shapes to mow it over midwicket and ends up top-edging it straight down deep backward square leg's throat where Archer reverse-cups it.
Adil Rashid to Tilak Varma, 1 run, to cover point
Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX, top-edge, six and it's fifty for Tilak Varma! 138.5kph, short of length ball, Tilak Varma moves across to swing it over backward square leg and gets a fat top-edge that flies over the keeper's head. The sightscreen bears the brunt
Livingstone to Axar, out Caught by Duckett!! "That was totally uncalled for," says Ravi Shastri on air. 81.7kph, flighted ball that drifts into the left-hander. It's full in length and Axar decides to go after it with a slogsweep. More height than distance
Livingstone to Tilak Varma, FOUR, 89.3kph, Tilak Varma brings out the reverse-sweep and gets the desired output. Hits it between backward point and short third man and also aerially.
Brydon Carse to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Timber! 139kph, cross-seam delivery, skids off the deck and Washington Sundar makes room to try and steer it towards third man. Misses it completely to hear the death rattle. That shot wasn't on against that particular line. Brydon Carse is having a memorable game - some handy runs with the bat and three wickets in his third over.
Brydon Carse to Washington Sundar, 1 run, 142.4kph, pitched up ball, driven back at the bowler, Carse sticks his right hand out and deflects it away.
Mark Wood to Washington Sundar, SIX, six off the free-hit! Short ball at 152kph, the line is just down leg. Sundar moves leg-side and swings his bat hard to pull it over deep backward square leg. Duckett, the man in th4e deep, moves to his left and leaps but it's out of his reach
Mark Wood to Washington Sundar, 1 run, dropped! 145kph, short ball and Washington Sundar doesn't get the necessary elevation as he moves leg-side to go over mid-on. Rashid moves to his right to catch it two-handed but the ball pops out of his hands. Wood has his hands on head
Jamie Overton to Washington Sundar, FOUR, back of a length, leg-lined, flicked away to deep backward square leg, Rashid sprints across and gets low before scooping the ball towards the converging fielder. His back leg brushes the ad-cushion while doing so and the TV umpire spots it
Adil Rashid to Tilak Varma, no run, 82.9kph, full just outside off, pushed towards cover and the batters rightly decide against the single. Just 3 runs off the over
Jamie Overton to Washington Sundar, no run, stabs a length delivery down to point as it came off the cue-end of the bat
Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Philip Salt!! The short ball gets another. The batter was cramped for room as he looked to slash it but edged it down to the keeper. Jamie Overton comes in and strikes. Carse did the same and now Jamie Overton. India lose half their side. Hardik's wicket will hurt the plans of the chase for sure
Adil Rashid to Tilak Varma, FOUR, short ball, outside off, googly, Tilak Varma chops the ball down wide of short third man for a four. He controlled the shot really well to send it into the gap
Brydon Carse to Dhruv Jurel, out Caught by (sub)Rehan Ahmed!! Jurel falls now. This game is alive. 139.4 kph, short ball, angled in, Dhruv Jurel goes for the pull and hands a low catch to the man at mid-wicket. That might have stopped on the batter a bit. India lose another wicket. Brydon Carse has come in and has made immediate impact. He doesn't have as much pace as Archer and Wood but he surely is doing the job.
Adil Rashid to Dhruv Jurel, 1 run, wanted to sweep, then changed his mind and dabbed it down fine.
Brydon Carse to Suryakumar Yadav, out Bowled!! Carse castles Suryakumar Yadav. 141.9 kph, Suryakumar Yadav drags the ball down on to the sticks. He was trying to run it down to third man but was cramped for room. The ball hit the middle of the bat and then trudged back on to the sticls.
Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX, wow! Helped over fine leg for a sixer. Stayed inside the line of the delivery and managed to get it off the meat of the bat as the ball sailed over fine leg. 150.3 kph, Tilak Varma got into a good position and played it fine
Jofra Archer to Samson, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! 148 kph, short ball, outside off, Samson looks to pull and gets a top-edge. Taken at deep square. Simple take. The short ball has his number again. That really got big on him and the pace on it also didn't help him. He was hurried into the shot and has been gobbled in the deep.
Mark Wood to Abhishek Sharma, out Lbw!! Gone. India lose their first wicket. Was a length delivery, skidded on at 148 clicks. Abhishek Sharma was late on the cross batted heave. The ball thudded into his back pad and he was given out. He decided to review it which was a bad call.
Jofra Archer to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, 149.5 kph, outside off, banged in short, Abhishek Sharma gets behind the line of the delivery and lifts it over the short third region. That almost carried the distance. Just used the pace on the delivery to put it away
Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, 2 runs, 133.9kph, yorker, Archer looks to swing across the line and inside-edges it to midwicket and the batters take two
Arshdeep Singh to Mark Wood, FOUR, nicely played! 135kph, low full toss, Wood opens the bat-face
Hardik Pandya to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Samson!! Off-cutter on a shortish length, Adil Rashid is early to heave and gets a faint top-edge that's been pouched by the keeper.
Hardik Pandya to Jofra Archer, 1 run, 121.6kph, Pandya pulls his length back and serves width, Archer slaps the cut over cover and Tilak takes it on the bounce at sweeper cover
Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, FOUR, 131.7kph, fullish ball, Archer comes down the track. moves leg-side in the process and throws the kitchen sink at it to slice it over extra cover. Sweeper cover can't cut it off.
Arshdeep Singh to Adil Rashid, no run, 112.7kph, pace off and on a length outside off, Rashid looks to heave across the line and connects with thin air
Ravi Bishnoi to Brydon Carse, out Brydon Carse Run Out!! 1 run completed. Oh dear! Run-out and the impressive Carse has to depart. Worked through midwicket off the back foot and there's miscommunication between the batters. They may have called for two initially. But on seeing the fielder get to the ball quickly, there's a yes-no-yes-no situation. A pretty accurate throw to the bowler's end from Jurel running in from deep midwicket and Carse is short of his ground!
Varun Chakravarthy to Brydon Carse, SIX, 93.2kph, fullish ball, hardly any spin, Carse walks across, gets low and flogs it over long-on! Meaty hit
Ravi Bishnoi to Jamie Overton, 1 run, googly on a short of length, Overton goes back in his crease to bunt it to long-off
Axar to Brydon Carse, SIX, England continue to be aggressive! Brydon Carse comes down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball and hoists it handsomely over straight long-on
Abhishek Sharma to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! SIX, FOUR and OUT! Tossed up ball, Jamie Smith shimmies down the track and isn't quite close to the pitch of the ball. Goes through with his loft and hits it straight down long-off's throat. Abhishek gets a wicket now.
Abhishek Sharma to Jamie Smith, SIX, Jamie Smith welcomes Abhishek Sharma with a maximum! Starts with a short of length ball, probably expecting the batter to step out of the crease. Smith stays back and clears his front leg to bludgeon it over long-on
Axar to Jamie Smith, no run, comes down the track to drive through the covers and inside-edges onto his pad
Axar to Livingstone, out Caught by (sub)Harshit Rana!! Holes out! 96.1kph, the length is on the shorter side and Livingstone quickly rocks back to pull. Goes hard but it hits him high on the bat. Harshit Rana, at deep backward square leg.
Axar to Buttler, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Axar gets the big fish. The skipper goes. Was dragged down, Buttler went for the pull and got a massive topedge. India moving ahead now in this game.
Varun Chakravarthy to Livingstone, FOUR, 95.8 kph. Livingstone goes for the slog sweep and gets more of a top-edge on the shot. The man at deep mid had to do a lot to his left even and the ball sped away
Ravi Bishnoi to Livingstone, no run, down on to the pads, googly, Livingstone backs away to tuck it and misses
Varun Chakravarthy to Brook, out Bowled!! He is bamboozled again. The ball lands, spins in, Brook is late to find it out and the ball traverses the gap between the bat and the pad to shatter the sticks down. He was all at sea against Varun in the last game. And has fallen prey tonight as well. That was outside off but turned in enough to help India take the third wicket.
SKY has gone upstairs. Was a late call to review it. 94.2 kph, spins in, the batter looks to tuck it and misses. Buttler was more busy in stealing a single and was miffed that he was sent back. Flat line as the ball passes the bat says the umpire. Wickets hitting is umpire's call. Turned out to be closer than what we thought.
Ravi Bishnoi to Brook, no run, nicely tossed up googly, 93.6 kph, Brook gets a stride out and pats it down to point
Axar to Brook, SIX, 91.2 kph, little bit of air, Brook sits down and slams the slog sweep over long-on. That was very well done as he played the field well and played it against the spin. The mid-on fielder was in and Brook did well to clear him and then a Four
Washington Sundar to Buttler, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
Washington Sundar to Duckett, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Bat, helmet, taken at point. Duckett went for the reverse swat and some extra bounce on that tossed up delivery spoiled his plans. The top-edge was found and was a dolly of a catch for the man at point. SKY makes a bowling change and gets the reward almost instantly. England had a good third over and India have shot back with a wicket.
Arshdeep Singh to Buttler, SIX, 113.7 kph, dismantled over long-on. Pick up and delivery done by mr. Buttler. Was a length delivery, slightly fuller, outside off, Buttler hung back and pounced on it to send it over deep mid. Massive hit and clean hit as well
