Josh Tongue 5-125(30 ov)

87.6
W
Tongue to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Crawley!! This has gone a mile up in the air and despite a collision, the catch is 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. England will need 374 to win. Washington Sundar c Crawley b Tongue 53(46) [4s-4 6s-4]
87.5
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, length delivery on off-stump, rushes him and he nearly chips it back to the bowler off the splice! Was just a little out of Tongue's reach to his left
87.4
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, length delivery outside off, Washington Sundar looks to run it down to third man and is beaten
87.3
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, length delivery wide outside off, slapped hard out towards deep backward point, it's in the gap but the man at third man gets around, they didn't run
87.2
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, short of length on off-stump, Washington Sundar shuffles inside the line and tucks it down towards long leg, single refused
87.1
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, short of length on off-stump from round the wicket, bit of extra bounce and it pings Washington Sundar on the glove as he looks to dab it into the off-side
85.6
Tongue to Prasidh, no run, after all that prep, Tongue misses his mark, length delivery sliding down leg, easy one for Prasidh to let pass
85.5
Tongue to Washington Sundar, 1 run, and they can't stop the single, length delivery on middle-leg, tucked away towards deep square leg
85.5
Tongue to Washington Sundar, wide, short and pushed across wide outside off again, Washington Sundar lets it go and Tongue doesn't look impressed that it's been called a wide as well, clear intent to keep that away from Washington Sundar so that they can have Prasidh on strike for the next over
85.5
Tongue to Washington Sundar, wide, banged in short and flying away wide outside off, umpire Ahsan Raza stretches his arms out to signal wide
85.4

6
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, Washington Sundar was quick to press back before hooking this, right out of the meat of the bat and it goes 20-rows back over the long leg ropes again, the short-ball isn't working against Sundar
85.2
Tongue to Washington Sundar, no run, short of length and sliding down leg, Washington Sundar attempts a similar shot and misses this time, Tongue is lucky to get away with that
85.1
6

83.6
Tongue to Prasidh, no run, Prasidh tested by the yorker first up, he does well to keep it out
83.5
W
Tongue to Siraj, out Lbw!! Siraj wants to review but he can't, India are out of them, two wickets for Tongue in the over! Fired up full on middle-leg, the new ball just slid through a touch quicker and it beat the inside edge as Siraj looked to clip it away, he didn't really get forward and was pinned in his crease as the ball thud into the pad. Appeal was confident and umpire Ahsan Raza raised the finger. The only doubt was whether it would've snuck down leg. Doesn't matter now though, he's been given and has no choice but to accept the decision and head off. Well well, he'd got an inside edge on that! UltraEdge shows a spike and that's why he hung around there with a grimmace on his face! Siraj lbw b Tongue 0(3)

83.2
W
Tongue to Jadeja, out Caught by Brook!! A catch that's been held on to firmly! Length delivery outside off, Jadeja slashed at it from his crease, neither forward nor back and he played it with an angled bat. Just a little fiddle and it flew to Brook at second slip after taking a thick outside edge. He made no mistake - taking it reverse-cupped in front of his left shoulder - and that's Jadeja sent on his way. He nearly punched his stumps in frustration before walking off. Important contribution though from India's seasoned veteran. Jadeja c Brook b Tongue 53(77) [4s-5]

Short of length and outside off, Jadeja punches it away through point, man at third man gets around but can't quite stop it before his knee comes in contact with the ropes. Fifth fifty for Jadeja in this series, he's had a superb tour with the bat in hand

70.4
Tongue to Dhruv Jurel, 2 runs, off the edge and rolling past gully! Jurel kind of got squared up in his defence as the length ball left him late. Soft hands on the handle meant the edge went to the ground. 300 up for India
70.3
Tongue to Dhruv Jurel, no run, middles the cut shot now but he picks out backward point
70.2
4
Tongue to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, now the pull shot for four more! Tongue goes short with man at deep square leg. There is fine leg as well but Jurel swivels just enough to place it perfectly splitting both men in the deep
70.1
4
Tongue to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR, lovely off-drive! Full and in the slot, Jurel leans forward and drives it to the right of silly mid-off. Pope gave up the chase early

68.1
Tongue to Jadeja, no run, full and outside off stump, Jadeja lets it go
66.6
Tongue to Jadeja, no run, this is such a cunning inswinging yorker. Smashed Jadeja flush on the front boot. Impact was the only question but Tongue was convinced, he didn't even look back at the ump during his appeal. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena took a long look, judged that impact was in line with the off stump and raised the finger. Jadeja reviewed and reversed the call as ball hit him just outside off stump. But it's a smashing blow. Physio comes out, Jadeja removes the shoe, gets a strapping, takes a pain-killer and gets ready to bat again. Thankfully nothing like the Rishabh Pant injury

W
Tongue to Jaiswal, out Caught by Jamie Overton!! Man at the fenceeee and taken! Short delivery to tease Jaiswal on the upper cut, they had Overton pretty square at third man and Jaiswal has picked him out. Probably wanted to hit to squarer more towards deep point. Or did he think Overton was at conventional third man so he could play that shot safely? Shakes the head and walks off. The shot was on, the issue was the placement. He just had to play it finer or well in front of square. Ended up guiding it towards deep backward point and Overton judges it nicely into his bucket hands with a dive forward. Jaiswal removes the helmet, holds his bat up and walks off into the dressing room. Jaiswal c Jamie Overton b Tongue 118(164) [4s-14 6s-2]
64.1

41.5
4
Tongue to Akash Deep, FOUR, nothing is going England's way! They've drawn a lot of false shots to no reward, dug in short on middle-leg, that rushed Akash Deep and also cramped him for room as he tried to pull instictively, took a bit of his glove and flew over Jamie Smith

4
Tongue to Akash Deep, FOUR, edged, four and a 100-run partnership! Akash Deep and Jaiswal exchange a warm hug, not sure if they themselves would expected this partnership to grow into something so substantial, pitched up fuller and wider outside off, Akash Deep got sucked into a big drive and it caught a thick outside edge, flew right in between the gap between the slips and gully, Pope flung himself to his left but couldn't reach

31.1
Tongue to Jaiswal, no run, appeal for LBW but Tongue muted himself and returned to the bowling mark! Fullish and tailing back in extra, Jaiswal missed the defence. Impact was more middle and leg and with the round the wicket angle that was never hitting the stumps

25.3
Tongue to Akash Deep, no run, edged and down again! That is the fourth catch England have put down in this innings. Good length delivery angling in and nipping away to finish just outside off stump, too good for Akash and the edge it found. Crawley dives to the left at third slip but he moved too quickly so the ball ended up hitting him at the end of palm, almost near the wrist
25.2
Tongue to Akash Deep, no run, looked very tight to the naked eye but umpire Ahsan Raza felt it may slip down the leg-side because of the wide angle Tongue creates. This length delivery nipped back in, hit Akash in line with the middle stump, only brushing the leg stump says ball-tracker
25.1
Tongue to Akash Deep, no run, oh dear! Extra bounce, glove and then flush on the ribcage. This shortish delivery kicked up, smashed the glove and ricocheted onto his ribs. Rubs in pain immediately but he is fine to carry on

4
Tongue to Akash Deep, FOUR, and he's guided this past gully now for four more! Runs early in the morning from a nightwatchman is a joy for the batting team. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Akash got opened up slightly but he also opened the bat face and found the gap

Tongue to Jaiswal, 1 run, good length delivery on the off stump, Jaiswal taps it to cover-point
21.3
4

21.2
Tongue to Jaiswal, no run, oh a tight leave! Brave of Jaiswal to offer no shot to a short of length delivery that nipped back in, but he was so sure of where his off stump was so let it through

Banged in short on middle and Jaiswal took it on instinctively, was a little late on it and it went flat towards Dawson at long leg, he seemed to just lose it in the crowd at the last second and wore a puzzled look after it went down after hitting his palms and his neck.

Tongue to Rahul, out Caught by Root!! Edged and taken! Nothing shot from Rahul, once again he's perished after working hard. Good length delivery just outside off, angled in and nipped away off the seam, drew Rahul into a bit of a poke and it caught a thick outside edge that went straight to Root. Fairly simple catch, a little low to his left but held safely. Rahul was rooted to his crease there and he'll be kicking himself for not leaving this. Just a lapse in concentration and he pays the price. England draw first blood. Tongue tortured him with the away-seaming ball umpteen times and eventually gets him. Rahul c Root b Tongue 7(28) [4s-1]

Tongue to Rahul, no run, Tongue is troubling KL. Near unplayable ball that angled in, pitched on the off stump, seamed away. KL did well to get his bat inside the line and miss it completely. Ball brushes the flap of the back pad on the way to the keeper. Can't be out LBW either because it was too high and bouncing over the stumps
