Curran Falls to Hardik, Tilak Takes a Brilliant Catch

England lose another wicket in the chase of 254, as Sam Curran is caught by Tilak Varma off Hardik Pandya for 18 runs off 14 balls. Curran had struck two fours, but a mistimed shot to midwicket gave Varma a sharp chance near the boundary, which he held onto brilliantly.

Jamie Overton walks in to join Jacob Bethell, as England now find themselves in a tense situation with the required run rate climbing in the death overs.
