00:00Hello everyone, this morning we are at Providence Stadium, you join us for this match between
00:25India and England.
00:41England win the toss and looks like they will have a bat, certainly it looks like the conditions
00:46would favour that decision.
00:47The bowlers will need to keep things very tight.
00:51The umpire signals that we are ready to go, first ball of the innings about to be bowled.
01:03Misses out on the first ball of the innings.
01:06A bit of frustration after that shot, went after it but just couldn't lay a bat on it.
01:21Oh faintest of sounds, no one to catch it though.
01:26Nothing really wrong with the delivery, got onto the front foot and found the space to
01:30get that one to the boundary.
01:42Saw that early, no one is catching that, great shot.
01:46Onto the front foot early, placed it perfectly into the gap, timed it nicely for four more.
01:54Being nicely settled at the crease now, would have been really happy with that last shot.
02:07Beaten on the drive.
02:09Tried to get the drive away, timed it poorly, lucky to survive.
02:25Oh my, that's just flown off the middle.
02:28That's what you pay the entrance money for, it's flown into the crowd, a brilliant shot
02:32off the front foot, no need to move.
02:36Sharma, I don't think will be too happy with their bowler at the moment.
02:49Great shot.
02:52Well that was a really solid shot, read the length early to get onto the front foot and
02:57that raced away for four.
02:59End of the over, 18 runs coming from it.
03:02England are 18 for none.
03:06A new bowler is coming into the attack.
03:25Good work there on the boundary.
03:29Salt gets off the mark.
03:47Edge, unplayable.
04:02And straight into the safe hands of the keeper.
04:05Oh dear, it's been a poor innings under pressure and now they've got the key batter out cheaply.
04:12New batter comes to the crease, never an easy time to come in after the fall of a wicked.
04:23Yes, thrashed away, what a shot.
04:26You don't chase those down, brilliantly timed off the back foot and that's raced to the
04:30boundary.
04:35A boundary off the last ball, is it a sign they're trying to push the run rate?
04:45Can't get that outside the ring field.
04:49Floated that one up, hit well but couldn't beat the field.
05:03Absolutely nailed it.
05:05That was a massive shot, middled and it flew over the boundary, brilliant stuff.
05:12A good contest here at the moment, four off the last ball and it'll be interesting to
05:16see how the bowler can respond.
05:21Super piece of timing.
05:25Had all the time in the world to get in position to play that ball, timed it nicely for four
05:30runs.
05:32Really playing all their shots that over, really expensive.
05:36And that's the end of the innings.
05:38England have set a target of 35 runs.
06:32This is a massive total to chase.
06:42You have to stay positive, but the openers are going to have to get at it straight away
06:46and there can't be any settling in.
07:01Too full, got what it deserved.
07:05It was just a little bit too full and it was beautifully timed.
07:11Do they go full, do they go short?
07:13A lot to ponder after the boundary.
07:21Immaculate timing there.
07:23You could see by how it whistled away to the boundary just how sweetly this was timed.
07:38I'd like to see them aim for the top of off now.
07:41As a bowler you've got to make them play on your terms.
07:48Big edge.
07:51That was seen so early.
07:53The timing was brilliant and that has stayed hit.
07:56Fantastic.
07:59Time to keep the pressure on now.
08:01Great last ball to find the edge.
08:03It's just a case of finding the same spot.
08:08That's got to hurt.
08:09Misjudged that one.
08:11Maybe they didn't pick it up.
08:12Very late on the shot.
08:18Let's see if they can get the ball up into the slot like before.
08:21So crucial to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
08:27Times it nicely.
08:29The fielder could only pick that up off the boundary rope.
08:32Punched that away through the covers with exquisite timing.
08:37Don't need to do anything special.
08:39Line and length is the key.
08:47Great shot.
08:48Great timing.
08:50It was in the gap pretty much all the way along the ground to the boundary rope.
08:54Off to a good start now.
08:56Over.
08:57India are 22 for none.
09:02A lot of pressure coming to the crease.
09:05Not had the best of weeks leading up to this game
09:08and will want to show everyone their strength.
09:11Wood, the pace bowler, coming into the attack.
09:23Yep.
09:24Finds the edge.
09:32It can be very disheartening seeing good deliveries smacked around.
09:35Sometimes you've just got to accept it and move on.
09:41Yep.
09:42Goes up and over for six.
09:44That's the positive option.
09:45That ball has been hit.
09:48It's flown into the crowd.
09:50To get that much power coming forward on the front foot is ridiculous.
10:02Finds the fielder with that shot.
10:05Just through the shot too early.
10:21Misses everything.
10:24That's wild.
10:25Nothing elegant about that shot.
10:27Just not timing it at all.
10:29That's poor play.
10:36Yep.
10:37A real beauty.
10:39Just times it so well.
10:46That's the end of our broadcast for now.
10:48Hope you enjoyed the game.
10:50Join us again real soon.
