Over-by-over updates on the game in Chennai as England look to level the series. Tim de Lisle has the latest
Not too high! What a great ball from Wood – it would have thudded into middle stump, below the bail, and it has removed India’s most dangerous hitter.1st over: India 13-0
Buttler was outstanding again, if not for long, hitting 45 off balls. And Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse did get 50 between them – Smith 22 off only 12, in a dazzling cameo on debut, and Carse a cool calm 31 off 17. Those two have made sure that Buttler has something to defend when he leads his team out.Hardik Pandya, a forgotten man since the second over, returned for the penultimate one, which was neat but a bit hard on him.
Smith, who is 24 and making his first appearance in T20 internationals, is now the last man standing from England’s batting, with just the bowlers for company. At least he has someone he knows from Surrey at the other end – Jamie Overton, England’s licensed slogger at No 7. Mind you, now McCullum is in charge, they all have licence to slog.11th over: England 90-4 10th over: England 78-4
Varun Chakravarty took out England’s middle order the other night, and he’s at it again! Brook, not seeing so clearly after all, goes forward, plays outside the googly that seems to be Varun’s stock ball and gets bowled through the gate. He trudges off to the sound of some remarks from the bowler, possibly to do with the air quality.6th over: England 58-2
Hardik Pandya shares the new ball again and soon hits Duckett on the side of the helmet – jaw rather than temple. There’s a dot of blood on his cheek as the physio conducts the noe-standard tests, but happily Duckett looks fine.Salt had started so well, needing only one ball to improve on his duck in the first game. It was a gentle inswinger from Arshdeep and Salt clipped it over midwicket for a promising four. That’s the trouble with promise: ou can’t always believe it.
