2.4 to Stokes, fat inside-edge, and it's three down! Well, that emotional reunion isn't going so well for England's top order! Nips back off the seam from round the wicket, swinging as it goes and Pant clings on brilliantly, one-handed to his right as Stokes plays tentatively from the crease! This is stunning from Shami and Bumrah. And England are in all sorts now! 7/3
14.3 to Buttler, short again.... Buttler holes out to deep square! And that, surely, is curtains for England's hopes of anything remotely competitive! A top-edge from the skipper... it's travelling high and a fair distance, but Yadav steadies himself right on the edge of the rope, is perfectly placed to swallow the ball as it plops towards the rope... and this is officially a llabzab! 59/7
16.3 to Overton, bowled him, gone through the gate! Will England reach 100? Shami presents the vertical seam - his absolute favourite thing to do in life - and bowls it on a good length, not full enough to draw the batter forward, not short as to make him go back. Overton is somewhere in between while he tries to defend that with a half step forward, and sees the ball crash in between bat and pad 68/8

1.4 to Roy, he's gone this time! Reaching for the wide line, perhaps playing for the swing that wasn't there this time, he aims very square, but can get only a fat inside-edge into the stumps! 6/1
1.6 to Root, extra bounce outside off, and Root has snicked it! That's phenomenal from Bumrah, every ball in this over has produced a different result, this one simply kicks viciously, on a wide line maybe, but in England's see-ball-hit-ball frame of mind, it draws the response, and Pant does the rest! 6/2
5.3 to Bairstow, snicked and a blinder from Pant! Wow, that is just outstanding from Bumrah, the previous ball did for him, as he holds his line on off stump, the ball simply bulldozes through without deviation, snags the edge of a half-cocked blade, and Pant leaps in front of first slip to snaffle in his right mitt! 17/4
7.5 to Livingstone, bowled round his legs! That wasn't the cleverest response from Livingstone! A stride to the pitch, trying to close down the angle, but the ball bends early, is already through him as it cannons into the base of his stumps, and another 0 in the top order most certainly is a record! 26/5
23.2 to Carse, gets five after cracking that yorker! Fired that full on off at 144kph. Bowls full on off, and shapes to angle the ball back into the right-hander. Carse goes low to have a jam at that with a flat bat, but is beaten by the length and the pace, as the ball goes bang into middle and off. How soon before India wrap this up? Maybe six for Bumrah? 103/9
25.2 to Willey, bowled him, and Bumrah has six. He ends with career-best ODI figures! Bumrah becomes the first Indian pace bowler to take six in an ODI in England. Willey's dancing feet ends up castling him. He was across off a bit too early to try and scoop that ball to fine leg, but he ended far too across off, and Bumrah bowled pretty full on leg stump. In the end, Willey missed his shot, and the ball struck the stumps bang 110/10
