| England Full Innings; The players are back on the field. It should be an interesting chase. Will England register their first win? Stay tuned. | |
| What a blinder from Samit Patel. His 70 from 43 balls has given momentum for England and their bowlers will be boosted by this performance. Trott stayed firm at one end but he was unlucky to miss out on a century. The Indian bowlers bowled well in the middle overs but gave away a lot of runs towards the end. Can the England bowlers keep the Indian batsmen in check? Join us in about 40 minutes for the run-chase. | |

| 23.1 | Ashwin to Pietersen, 1 run, poor work from RJ, this was nudged to short fine leg, the throw from RJ is a bit wild at the bowler's end and concedes an overthrow |
| Ashwin is bowling from round the stumps. | |
| 22.6 | Ravindra Jadeja to Pietersen, 1 run, another quick delivery but lots of width outside off, he slaps it to sweeper cover for one more |

| Drinks are on the field now. Both teams have done well in the first hour. Cook fell early but Trott and Kieswetter consolidated well. Kohli removed the latter just when he was threatening to break free and put the game in the balance. An interesting phase of play awaits us. England will want to make use of the powerplay, but India's spinners will be in action soon. | |

| 9.6 | Vinay Kumar to Kieswetter, SIX!!, that was an edge but he collects six. Comes down the track and makes room in the process, Vinay maintains it around off but Kieswetter goes through with the slash and gets a thick edge that flies over third man.

| Jonathan Trott, right handed bat, comes to the crease | |
| 3.1 | Vinay Kumar to Alastair Cook, out Lbw!! Vinay celebrates even without appealing! But Cook is not happy. Did he edge it? No. That looked pretty plumb. Good delivery that, pitches on length around off and moves in a touch, Cook was struck in the crease as he misses a defence and gets hit on the pads.
