Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Roy, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jason Roy is a goner off the very first ball and Bhuvneshwar Kumar with yet another early breakthrough. Starts off on a perfect length does Bhuvi and makes the ball swing away from around off stump. Roy is rooted to his crease and there's no foot movement as he tries to drive away from the body. Roy almost ends up passing the ball to Rohit Sharma at first slip who takes a sharp catch. Wicket off the first ball of the chase and England already up against it.

...THE RUN CHASE…

20:50 (IST) Jul 09

Right then, England have a par score to chase here. They have a powerful batting line-up and would be fancing their chances to chase this one. Indian bowlers were brilliant in the first game, can they defend this total? We shall find out.

20:50 (IST) Jul 09

England were put under pressure with the ball in the Powerplay but the debutant Richard Glesson brought them back in the game with three quick wickets as India were reduced to 61-3 from 49-0. Jordan was also brilliant for the second game in the row and did not allow India to take the game away from England at any point in time. Richard Gleeson and Jordan were the only wicket-takers for England taking three and four wickets respectively. The English bowlers have done quite well here and it is upto the batters now to chase this total down.

20:45 (IST) Jul 09

There has been a lot of talk about how India will approach T20 cricket and they have given us some solid answers in this series so far. They took the aggressive option again and started off with a bang with Pant and Rohit going great guns. Rohit departed after a breezy knock and Kohli and Pant followed him soon. However, the Indian batters did not shy away from playing their shots and despite losing wickets at regular intervals, India continued to score briskly. Jadeja made sure that he bats till the end and finished with 46 from 29 balls and that has taken India to a decent total here. 

20:44 (IST) Jul 09

A competitive total on the board from India courtesy of a fine cameo by Jadeja in the end. However, England will go into the break as a happier side. They were much better with the ball in this game compared to the last one and have a real chance now to level this series here at Edgbaston.

Sam Curran to Ravindra Jadeja, Pushing for two and the misfield will allow them to come back for the second with ease. Full and straight, this is pushed right back past the bowler but the fielder from mid off charges towards it and fails to collect it cleanly. Two taken. India finish with 170/8!
