18.4 Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya

SIX! Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Hardik Pandya finishes off the game in style. Clears the front leg, and launches deep over the long on fence for six.India have made that target look a doddle. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Pandya all contributing to a superb run chase. England didn't take enough wickets in the middle period, like India did to them, and that allowed the Indian batsmen to play freely right till the end. An entertaining series, which India take 2-1. Let's hope this kind of cricket continues into the ODI series, which begins on Thursday at Trent Bridge.
