  1. Eng 123-4

    Target 234

    Joe Root knocks Jasprit Bumrah to long leg for two, then takes a single square to retain the strike.

    No, wait, it's another over-step from Bumrah so the last delivery will be bowled again - Jos Buttler puts it into the covers to hand the strike back to Root.

    Here's Elizabeth Botcherby to take you through the rest of the match.

    Maybe another over of Bumrah, but what is Shubman Gill thinking? He doesn't have many options right now.

  3. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Joe Root's half century is brought up in 76 balls, made up of five fours. It's his third slowest fifty out of his 67 50+ scores.

    He now has five consecutive ODIs with half centuries.

    Another superb knock from Joe Root on a surface that isn't the best to bat on. Just look at his shot selection on this surface, he's been very careful.

    Joe Root tucks Prasidh Krishna's last ball through square for a single, bringing up his half-century from 76 balls.

    Another vital anchor innings from the England stalwart.

    It’s fantastic to see wicketkeepers standing up to the pace men. It has become something of a lost art. Recently, keepers have often been just good fielders who have gloves on, without the class required for the nuance. Great to see the change.

  7. Eng 117-4

    Jasprit Bumrah comes back and India make changes at both ends.

    Ishan Kishan appeals after collecting a delivery to Joe Root, but nothing from the umpire and ultimately no review from India.

    No fifth catch for you just yet, Ishan.

  8. Eng 114-4

    Prasidh Krishna returns to replace Shivam Dube and his second ball beats the bat of Jos Buttler as the England batter tries to hit across the line.

    Joe Root then pulls out of a delivery and has a bit of a moan when it initially seems like it'll be recorded as a dot.

    Eventually it is re-bowled and Root takes a single square.

    With a modest total to chase, England’s top order proving they’re not up to the task. As for the captain’s dismissal? Well, I’m not sure I have a descriptive enough vocabulary!

    Joe Root has got this innings together.

  12. Eng 111-4

    Not quite in the river, Dan - a steward emerges from one of the gangways and throws the ball back.

    A couple more singles off the rest of the over - 11 runs off it, the required run-rate is down to 4.24.

  13. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I'm pretty sure that will be in the river. What a shot!

  14. Eng 109-4

    Bang!

    Jos Buttler hits Axar Patel down the ground for six, with the ball disappearing behind the stand.

    The boundary at the River Taff end is notably shorter than the one at the Cathedral Road end - lots of six potential.

  15. Eng 100-4

    Jos Buttler comes in at six for England - he's been demoted behind Sam Curran in this match, having batted at number five at Edgbaston.

    He gets two through square then sends Shivam Dube to the mid-wicket boundary for four, bringing up England's century.

    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    This game is still very much alive. A little nibble trying to run it off third man. Any catch standing up is a good 'un, there was no doubt about it.

    Sam Curran promised quite a lot in that innings but 26 is not quite enough.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Good catch standing up to the stump from Ishan Kishan. A much needed wicket for India, they've got the breakthrough.

    It's a tactic that works, Kieran!

    Ishan Kishan comes to the stumps to medium-pacer Shivam Dube and is immediately rewarded with his fourth catch of the day.

    It's Sam Curran who offers a faint edge behind - India break a partnership of 41.

  19. How's stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    CricViz analyst

    Keepers were up to the stumps to just 1.8% of pace deliveries in international cricket during the last English summer - that's risen dramatically to 14.6% so far this summer.

  20. Eng 94-3

    Here's a spinner, Vic - Axar Patel is replacing Gurnoor Bar.

    Axar concedes just one single from his first over, with Sam Curran taking a run out to backward square.
