93.4 Sam Curran to Ravindra Jadeja

OUT! Caught. Sam Curran to Ravindra Jadeja. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to first slip, by Bairstow. Gone! Good take from Bairstow and excellent bowling from Curran, shaping the ball away from the left-hander and constantly asking questions. Jadeja drawn into playing this one and it does just enough to take the outside edge, lovely stuff.

92.5 James Anderson to Ravindra Jadeja

FOUR! James Anderson to Ravindra Jadeja. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, inside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. That can't have missed leg stump by much! Jadeja feels for one looking to get himself a single to get down the other end and he gets an inside edge. Somehow it misses leg stump and runs away for four.

91.6 Sam Curran to Ishant Sharma

OUT! Caught. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Sam Curran to Ishant Sharma. In-swinging length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Bairstow. Gone! Curran finds the outside edge and India are eight down. Lovely ball, threatening to swing back but then just holding it's line across Sharma who never gets far forward. Hold on though, Sharma has reviewed. Not sure why, huge spike on UltraEdge with the ball right on the edge of the bat. I think he was the only man in the ground who thought that wasn't out.

Over 90. 4 runs. Bowler: Adil Rashid. India: 7-334(rr 3.71)

89.3 Adil Rashid to Ishant Sharma

FOUR! Adil Rashid to Ishant Sharma. Googly length ball, to leg on the front foot sweeping, well timed past deep square leg for 4 runs. Swept away hard, maybe safer than defending with so many men round the bat. That's hurt Sharma though, he's still feeling that ankle problem that stopped him from bowling in the last innings.
