Wood is a doubt too apparently, which is more of a concern.

arrghh that is not good news, particularly as his is our "different" pace bowler, the only one who can slam it down at 90mph+

"General body stiffness" apparently, whatever that is.

Dip him in Deep Heat and get him bowling!

I've just read an article about how good Kohli is at Adelaide. And now I'm getting excited/nervous.

Hadn't realised he'd scored the most runs so far, that's totally gone under the radar. Well, mine at any rate.

Big call from Buttler to go for a chase... Game on!

england are keeping india very quiet here........57/2 after 9

 

[T4tomo]

This is a good start from England to drinks. These two are India's most dangerous batters though so we will need wickets to restrict them s they could easily accelerate away to an imposing total, especially with the short square boundaries


OOOHHH Rashid has got Yadav out

 

[AndyRM]

Breaking that partnership could be the key. Well in Phil Salt and Rashid!

 

[jowwy]

i think india could end up around 40 runs short here, at around 140/150

 

[T4tomo]

at the moment its too many dots from India, they are waiting for that boundary ball that isn't coming. Kohli is trying to make sure he stays in to and Pandya hasnt got going

 

[AndyRM]

We nearly made a hash of a low run chase against Sri Lanka. Still anyones game.

 

[jowwy]

Thats a bad 19th over from curran and a poor one from jordan too......32 off the last two overs

 

[T4tomo]

Very good knock from Pandya, that's got them to a defendable score.

If England get a good powerplay in the 55-65 range then we have a good chance, if not it will be hard to accelerate the scoring on a wearing pitch it the required rates gets up over 10

169 to win. This isn't going to be easy, but it was never going to be.

 

[Sterlo]

Worryingly good first over, lets not get carried away yet

India were slightly short, the totals getable and England have a good start.
