Josh Tongue to Pant, FOUR, Pant on the charge. He comes down the track and then loses his bottom-hand, but still flays the length ball wide of cover, there's no sweeper cover and it races away
50.1
Josh Tongue to Pant, FOUR, no first slip and England are made to pay for that. Regulation outside-edge as Pant gets forward to drive and it was going straight to first slip had there been one, full and wide outside off, Pant drives well away from the body and the edge is too far wide of Jamie Smith for him to go for it. Stokes just grimaces

Josh Tongue to Pant, FOUR, Stokes can only shake his head. A thick outside-edge and it flies to where a 2nd slip would have been. A length delivery outside off, Pant hangs the bat out and that would have gone straight to hand, Pant again gets lucky, racesa way to the third man fence, luck with Pant and India at the moment

Josh Tongue to Pant, 2 runs, 50 for Pant. What a game for him. Hundred in the first innings, now a 50 and batting. Gets there with a tuck off the middle and leg-stumps, it is angled in and Pant closes the face of the bat and tucks it wide of fine-leg

Bashir to Pant, SIX, now Pant is in the mood. This is in the slot and he smashes it way back over long-on. It's tossed up full on middle, Pant gets forward and absolutely leathers it, right off the meat of the bat

Bashir to Pant, SIX, to long-on, It's tossed up just outside off, Pant gets forward and lofts, it's in his zone again and Pant won't take that lying down. A flat hit and anyway mid-on was in, so a safe shot

58.1
Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket. Pant has switched gears now. It's back of a length and does not rise that high, Pant has absolutely mowed the pull hard to the deep mid-wicket fence

Bashir to Rahul, FOUR, poor delivery and put away, dragged down and just outside the leg-stump, deep backward square-leg was there, Rahul goes on the back foot and pulls hard and just wide of the square-leg umpire, that was a bad delivery and got punished

Bashir to Pant, 1 run, Stokes on the dive to his left at extra-cover gets a hand on it but you would have to be cruel to call that a dropped chance. Great effort in the end by the England skipper. It's full outside off, Pant smashes it so hard and it flies off the bat, Stokes went acrobatically to his left and stuck out a hand, the ball hits the hand hard and deflects to long-off

Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, beautiful late-cut. Between the third slip and gully. A length delivery outside off, just the hint of width, Rahul cuts so late and bisects the two fielders to perfection. Superb stuff

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, the luck is with India and Pant. It's tossed up full outside off, just a hint of turn away, Pant gets forward to drive and it's a thick outside-edge and it flies wide of slip and well wide of backward point, runs away for four. Another grimace from Stokes

Bashir to Rahul, 2 runs, 100 for Rahul. Big smiles from Gill, Sai Sudharsan and the others in the Indian dressing room. Rahul kisses the crest on his India helmet and then hugs Pant. A smile and a chat follows. It's full outside off, he gets forward and drives wide of sweeper cover, comes back for the 2nd. Fine innings and one of his best in this format. Has looked so so good from the time he came to the crease has hardly put a foot wrong
