India v England: third men’s one-day cricket international - live

4m ago 09.22 EST 28th over: England 168-6 (Livingstone 8, Atkinson 5) Washington Sundar comes back on, three singles followed by a hack for four through the covers by Atkinson. The crowd in full voice, they know they have this game in the bag. Share

6m ago 09.20 EST 27th over: England 161-6 (Livingstone 6, Atkinson 0) Brook was unlucky there, the replays show he played with soft hands but a little too late. A horrible way to get out. Atkinson is the new man. Big ask for GusGus. Share Updated at 09.22 EST

8m ago 09.18 EST WICKET! Brook b Harshit Rana 19 (England 161-6) Bowled him! Harshit Rana hurries Brook up and a cue end rolls back onto the stumps. England in the mire and dreaming of the plane home. Share

12m ago 09.13 EST 26th over: England 156-5 (Brook 19, Livingstone 1) KP is tearing into England’s batters in the comms box, he says only Joe Root has had a knock in the past few days and he’s the batter who least needs to improve his game against spin. He laments England’s lack of learning against the turning ball and fears for them with the Champions Trophy coming up in Pakistan. When he talks batting (and stays away from most other subjects) Pietersen is a good listen. He could walk the talk too. He’s fired up watching England go down one last time! “They have improved… but at golf” drawls Ravi Shastri with a big old spoon for stirring just out of shot. Share Updated at 09.18 EST

16m ago 09.09 EST 25th over: England 154-5 (Brook 18, Livingstone 0) Liam Livingstone is the new man, he needs to play the innings of his life… he immediately comes down the track and Rana spots him, whanging down a bouncer that nearly takes the batter’s lid off. It’s a wicket maiden for Harshit Rana, half way through the overs and England are half a world away. *handclap*. Share

21m ago 09.04 EST WICKET! Jos Buttler b Harshit Rana 6 (England 154-5) Is that the game!? Buttler is crestfallen as the recalled Rana spears one through his defences first ball back. Buttler was playing with an angled blade and an inside edge splatters the stumps. View image in fullscreen Oh Jos! Photograph: Sajjad Hussain/AFP/Getty Images Share Updated at 09.14 EST

23m ago 09.03 EST 24th over: England 154-4 (Brook 18, Buttler 6) Better from Brook, he launches Kuldeep down the ground for a mighty SIX and then nudges a single to rotate strike. Buttler works to leg for a couple and nurdles a single of his own. Eleven off it. 203 runs still needed… Share

25m ago 09.01 EST 23rd over: England 143-4 (Brook 11, Buttler 2) England struggling to rotate the strike, it’s a but feast or famine in the middle at the minute. Brook drives for four over the bowler for four but then pats back five dot balls. Share

26m ago 08.59 EST 22nd over: England 139-4 (Brook 7, Buttler 2) Kuldeep continues to squeeze, England can’t get him away and it’s just three singles off the over. Run rate rising like an inquisitive cobra… Share

32m ago 08.53 EST 21st over: England 136-4 (Brook 5, Buttler 1) England lose their anchor but they do have two dynamic hitters at the crease in Messrs Brook and Buttler. 221 runs still needed… Share

35m ago 08.51 EST WICKET! Joe Root b Patel 24 (England 134-4) Oh no! Root can’t believe he’s missed a simple push into the off side off Axar. The ball clipping his inside edge and hitting the base of the stumps. Jos Buttler comes out to join Harry Brook with plenty to do. Share

37m ago 08.49 EST 20th over: England 133-3 (Root 24, Brook 3) Kuldeep rattles through another cheap over. Share

43m ago 08.43 EST 19th over: England 129-3 (Root 22, Brook 1) India put the squeeze on after the wicket, these have been the passages that England have wilted on during this white ball tour. Can they weather the storm and come out the other side? Share Updated at 08.45 EST

45m ago 08.40 EST WICKET! Banton c Rahul b Kuldeep Yadav 38 (England 126-3) Banton is gone and it takes a beauty to get rid of him. Kuldeep spits one off a length and the tiniest tickle is snaffled behind the stumps. It’s so tiny that Banton isn’t sure if he hit it but the review is burned as UltraEdge shows a small spike. A decent comeback for Banton but England needed him to go on. Harry Brook joins fellow tyke Root in the middle. 18th over: England 126-3 (Root 20, Brook 0) View image in fullscreen India's wicketkeeper KL Rahul takes the catch to dismiss Tom Banton.

48m ago 08.37 EST 17th over: England 123-2 (Banton 37, Root 18) Axar to Banton after a slurp. Shot! Banton nails the reverse sweep for SIX once again. He’s so good at that shot, it’s been a trademark of his since he broke through as a teenager. The power and elevation he gets are remarkable. Share

54m ago 08.32 EST 16th over: England 115-2 (Banton 30, Root 17) Time for a drink, things tightly poised. Root reverses for four to keep England ticking. “Hi James Isn’t the sad fact that Banton is actually an anagram of bant on?” Richard Whiteley would never have let that slip through eh Billy Mills. Share

1h ago 08.25 EST 15th over: England 109-2 (Banton 30, Root 11) Root pings a drive back at the bowler that Hardik swoops down on and hurls back at him in one fluid movement. The shy hits Root on the toe and the two men exchange a glare. Shot! Banton comes on strike and unfurls a textbook cover drive in the gap for four. John Starbuck been getting his Countdown on: “Jim, without wanting to put the mockers on him, I’m fairly confident that all OBO readers have noticed that Tom Banton’s surname is an anagram of bat on. Here’s hoping.” Share

1h ago 08.20 EST 14th over: England 101-2 (Banton 25, Root 9) The camera cuts to Paul Collingwood in the England dugout having a good old chuckle about Axar’s tittersome run out attempt. Kuldeep into the attack and starts well – just three runs off the over as England notch up their hundred. Share

1h ago 08.17 EST 13th over: England 99-2 (Banton 24, Root 7) India continue their constriction through Hardik but Banton steps to leg and smears through midwicket for a much needed boundary. WHADDDAMISS! Banton should have been run out by a country mile as he barbecues himself trying to take a single straight to backward point, he turns halfway down the wicket to try and make his ground, Axar thinks he can run the ball to the stumps before realising he’ll have to throw it, he does and it misses by a couple of feet. Proper criggit all round! Share

1h ago 08.11 EST 12th over: England 93-2 (Banton 18, Root 7) India are hauling England back into view after their rattling start. Axar goes for just four runs to make it nine runs in the last three overs. Share

1h ago 08.09 EST 11th over: England 89-2 (Banton 16, Root 5) Hardik Pandya into the attack as Rohit shuffles his deck. Root glides a single and Banton gets a pull away through square for four. Hardik then tightens up and gets out of the over with four dots. Share

1h ago 08.03 EST 10th over: England 84-2 (Banton 12, Root 4) Axar Patel starts his first stint with the ball. Five dot balls arrowed in at Tom Banton who can’t break the shackles. Make that a maiden, rattled off in the blink of an eye. Share

1h ago 08.00 EST 9th over: England 84-2 (Banton 12, Root 4) Sublime start from Joe Root who punches off the back foot with an angled blade to guide the ball for four behind point. Share

1h ago 07.58 EST WICKET! Phil Salt c Patel b Arshdeep Singh 23 (England 80-2) Arshdeep has the last laugh and now has both England openers in his back pocket! A pace off ball is steered tamely by Salt to point. Here comes Root-eh. View image in fullscreen Phil Salt rues his luck. Photograph: Michael Steele/Getty Images Share Updated at 08.03 EST

1h ago 07.56 EST Arshdeep continues into his fifth over, Salt backs away and scythes through the off side for four. The decibel level is muted in the crowd but ramped up in the comms box as KP and Ravi Shastri combine to assault the cochleas… Share

2h ago 07.54 EST 8th over: England 73-1 (Salt 17, Banton 12) What a shot! Banton reverse sweeps for SIX, timed to perfection and the ball soars away over fine leg. Close! Banton aims a huge moose down the ground but can only edge it, getting just enough on it to take the ball past the off bail and to ricochet off KL Rahuls’s webbing behind the stumps. Two singles off the last two balls makes it another dozen off the over for England. Share

2h ago 07.51 EST 7th over: England 61-1 (Salt 16, Banton 1) Banton defends his first ball from Arshdeep. His heart must be going like the clappers. He’s beaten next ball as he wafts at a back of a length delivery. He’s been out in the UAE batting like a prince on true wickets where the ball really come on quickly, he’ll have to adjust and quickly here as Arshdeep throws in his knuckle balls. He gets off the mark with a push down the ground and will keep the strike. Share

2h ago 07.46 EST WICKET! Duckett c Sharma b Arshdeep Singh 34 (England 60-1) The slower ball does for Duckett who slogs Arshdeep high in the air and Rohit takes a steepling catch. India needed that, here comes Tom Banton! Share

2h ago 07.45 EST 6th over: England 60-0 (Salt 16, Duckett 34) Washington Sundar summoned by Rohit, Salt drives in the air and Harshit Rana does well to dive and stop the ball whistling to the fence at wide mid on. Fifty up for England, they are rattling along at nearly ten an over. India were 23-1 at the same stage. There’s a hush in the crowd now as night falls and England put India to the sword. Four byes! Sundar fires it down leg and everyone misses it, Duckett won’t care a jot as the scoreboard keeps clattering. Salt clubs the final ball for four more to make it twelve runs off the over. Share

2h ago 07.40 EST 5th over: England 48-0 (Salt 9, Duckett 33) Duckett is ticking! Three boundaries in a row off Arshdeep! Spanked over long on, cut away through point and pulled away over square leg. Rohit has the double teapot out but it is brilliant batting. Make that four in a row! Duckett is limping like he’s been shot in the ‘arris but the limitation of movement/clarity of thought is working for him as he pings another pull through midwicket. Who needs to run when you are seeing it like a beach ball? Share

2h ago 07.35 EST 4th over: England 32-0 (Salt 9, Duckett 17) Runs! Duckett scoops away to fine leg with aplomb and then gets a bit of luck with the next ball as he chops it down past his stumps for four more. A single brings Salt on strike and he biffs through the leg side with plenty of bottom hand to make it three boundaries off the over. Dare I say it, this is a decent start from England. The camera pans to Tom Banton with his helmet on in the dugout. He’ll be in next. Penny for ‘em. Read all about it! Australia lose a game of cricket! Read all about it!

2h ago 07.31 EST 3rd over: England 18-0 (Salt 5, Duckett 8) Arshdeep slides down the leg side and Salt gets a pad on it to pick up four leg byes. Three dots follow before the bowler drops short and is pongoed away to the square leg fence for four by Salt. Share
