61.5 Ben Stokes to Ishant Sharma
OUT! L.B.W. Ben Stokes to Ishant Sharma. Reverse Swing-In back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, hit pad to. Up goes the finger again and India have no reviews left now so there is nothing Ishant can do but begin the slow walk off. The tall fast bowler got a long way across the crease and the umpire deemed it to be crashing into the sticks. Ball tracking suggests otherwise, but England won't care one bit.

60.5 Moeen Ali to Ajinkya Rahane
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Moeen Ali to Ajinkya Rahane. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot working, hit pad to. Raucous cheers of delight around the Ageas Bowl as the umpire raises the finger, Moeen is mobbed by his teammates. Rahane is left crestfallen but will ask for a review as a final act of desperation. It was a cracking delivery from the offspinner, viciously turning from the rough and catching Rahane plumb in front. Perhaps he will lament not getting forward, but it's hard to be critical after he battled for so long.
