Alex Green to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Ben Mayes!! The adrenaline was flowing and Mhatre has holed out to long leg - banged in short by Green, was the heavy ball and the Indian captain was in no control over the pull, took his eyes off the ball at the last moment, goes through with the hook and holes out to Mayes in the deep - a simple catch and England can breathe a sigh of relief. The Indian captain is livid with himself as he walks away. Ayush Mhatre c Ben Mayes b Alex Green 53(51) [4s-7 6s-2]

Alex Green to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, ufff! That's an incredible shot. Yes, short of length delivery but not there for the upper cut, Sooryavanshi though uses his hands to get under the shot and intentionally lifts it over, he generates plenty of power and the ball sails over

Alex Green to Aaron George, out Caught by Ben Mayes!! There's the early wicket for England. George, the centurion from the semifinal, departs cheaply. He got away with a similar kind of drive in the first over but not this time. This is not full enough to play the drive, but George tries to play it on the up and does not keep it down, the bat face is open and the ball flies towards backward point, Mayes bends to his right and clasps it with both hands. That was a good, sharp catch from Mayes as the ball was travelling. Aaron George c Ben Mayes b Alex Green 9(11) [4s-2]
