  2. We've still got the post-match presentation to come.

    England go 1-0 up in the five-match series.

    The first game in Durham was rained off so there's three matches left to play.

  3. Pressure on India and Iyer

    A comfortable win in the end, a few hiccups on the way but India were short of runs. India's bowling was patchy, and the pressure is on on the world champions and the new captain - winless in four games.

    This is adding up the pressure on Shreyas Iyer.

    Jacob Bethell taps the edge of his bat in celebration.

    The day started with the talk of a sensational young left-handed batter playing for India, but it's another one wearing England's colours who has had the decisive word here.

    Jacob Bethell has produced two big knocks back-to-back against India - 105 in the T20 World Cup semi-final and 75* today. He has now gone past 200 runs against India at an average of 51 and a strike rate of 165 - only against West Indies are his numbers better in T20Is.

    Re: Adam Bennett- this “Jacob Bethell nonsense” is the reason England are about to beat the world’s best T20 team.

    Ian, Leighton Buzzard

    Sam Curran proving why he shouldn't be anywhere near a position of responsibility. 12 runs needed just see it out. Nonsense cricket.

    Tim, Nottingham

  13. Eng 181-6

    A wide called after Jofra Archer bobs out the way of a Harshit Rana bouncer.

    Archer keeps the strike after nearly chopping on from the final ball of the over.

    Really good catch by the teenager, the ball was really travelling and he had to jump to get it.

    There is hope for India.

    Jacob Bethell in this innings:

    • v Pace: 6 runs off 7 balls | 85 strike rate
    • v Spin: 62 runs off 36 balls | 172 strike rate
  17. 6 runs

    Eng 178-5

    Jacob Bethell's buccaneering innings continues.

    He reverse scoops Harshit Rana for six, opening the blade to lift it over the boundary behind the wicketkeeper.

    Super stuff.

    Sam Curran should have been the face of English cricket, none of this Harry Brook/Jacob Bethell nonsense.
