Series set up nicely....cant beat being next to the beach with cricket and a beer. Come on India!

Bad call.. England should have batted first

Bit of swing and Rohit Sharma is like a deer caught in the headlights

Oh my word...what a sorter to remove Kohli...

Snorter. ..ffs

I suppose the only consolation for India so far is that there is a fair bit of turn in this pitch!

Raina, absolutely useless. Why India have gone back to him at 31 after a few years of no international cricket is beyond me. They have a plethora of young talent at their disposal and they go for this idiot that cannot play anything above his waist.

Oh ello skittles time....

No...missing

If Rashid is playing like this you gotta feel for the English batsmen in the 2nd innings given their recent performance vs spin? Not over yet.

Not at all...

Looks like we're going to fall short here. Dhoni knows he's the last recognised batter but he has waited far too long to hit out. Sometimes I watch some of his innings and think wow what a genius and sometimes it's what the faaack are you doing MSD. Today sadly is the latter.

39 from 60 Far too slow man it's like watching 90's cricket. Kuldeep and Chahal are going to have to bowl absolute blinders today.

Also, can someone from the management team please tell me why Rahul was dropped today in favour of Karthik? Absolute shambles of a decision.

Na, he was asked pre game why he was dropped. His response - "don't know". Shastri is a faaacking moron seriously. Never liked his appointment and to drop someone who made a T20 century only two weeks ago is a joke!

We win by 4 - that'll be why

Really Stokes...that's a shocker of an over

Not sure why he's bowling at the death. Plunkett has had a bit of tap today but he should have been the man trusted to bowl that over.

Plenty of runs for India. These minnows won't chase this down... Just watch

England should open with Buttler. Game could be done within 10 overs.

I'm still haunted by the 20/20 WC final over he bowled...mind you I blame Morgan for half of that
