Atkinson to Washington Sundar, SIX, high and far! Good length delivery on middle-leg, Washington Sundar unleashes a mighty strike! Just picked it up off a length and dunked it over the square leg ropes, that went very high and the man at deep square leg looked interested for a second before he realized it was sailing over

Tongue to Washington Sundar, SIX, this is Washington Sundar flexing his T20 prowess! India's lead breaches the 350-run mark with that! Dug in short on middle-leg from over the wicket,

Atkinson to Washington Sundar, 2 runs, now then, this one goes high in the air but there's no one to catch it! Full on off-stump, Washington Sundar slices it as he looks to go over mid-off who was up, he gets it over the man and they rush back for a tight second run

Atkinson to Washington Sundar, FOUR, edged and four! Full and wide outside off, Washington Sundar throws his bat hard at this and gets a thick outside edge, it flies past the only man in the slip cordon and races down to the ropes

Atkinson to Washington Sundar, FOUR, imperious strokeplay! Just a fraction short on off-stump, looked like Washington Sundar was waiting for this, he pressed back and absolutely hammered it through mid-wicket with a pull, put it into the gap for four more

Atkinson to Washington Sundar, SIX, a fifty of some magnitude this!And he brings it up in style! Length delivery on off-stump, he hangs back and dismisses it from his presence by smacking it over deep mid-wicket, he punches the air in delight and raises his bat to the dressing room

Tongue to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Crawley!! This has gone a mile up in the air and despite a collision, the catch his held! Five-wicket haul for Josh Tongue! Full and down leg, Tongue was looking to keep it away from Washington Sundar who had to reach around his legs as he looked to clip it, he closed the face of the bat too early and it went straight up off the leading edge. Both Crawley and Pope converged and settled under it at mid-wicket, they had no clue about each other's presence right up until the last second but Crawley, being the taller man, just wrapped his palms around it above Pope's waiting hands. That could've ended very badly but somehow, Crawley managed to cling on and the collision was soft

Sundar c Crawley b Tongue 53(46) [4s-4 6s-4]

And Tongue has been given his 5-fer, even if it cost him 125 runs.

Akash Deep to Duckett, no run, big appeal for LBW!! Not given and no review! On a length and angles inwards sharply, doesn't quite straighten enough and thuds onto the top of the pads as Duckett is beaten on the inside edge. Would have slid down the leg side and height was a factor as wel

Siraj to Crawley, out Bowled!! You beauty! It's him, it had to be him. Jumps up with his arms straying to the side in his trademark celebration. A moment of magic from Mo Siraj to close out the day for India. It was the double bluff by the Indian pacer, set the field up for chin music and then produced a big, beaming in angling yorker. Sneaks beneath the bat and crashes onto the base of the off stump. All that toil gets some reward for India, they get a wicket off the last ball of the day.

Crawley b Siraj 14(36) [4s-2]

Day 3: Stumps
ENG 50/1 (13.5) CRR: 3.61
