And as Eoin Morgan and Stuart Broad and Nick Knight continue to chew, chew, chew the fat and use up the remaining broadcasting minutes - the England team must jump in the coach and drive to Trent Bridge for the final T20 of the series tomorrow. Two losses do not make a summer, but England have to find a way of combating the swinging white ball of India’s attack. Chris Jordan’s form and Richard Gleeson’s debut are something positive for Jos Buttler to think on as he makes the Midlands dash.

Thanks for all your messages - we’ll be back tomorrow. Bye!

Eoin Morgan, who could have a very successful second career as a door-to-door evangelical, is phlegmatic. “Jos will be relying on Moeen and CJ and to continue that message and continue that truth, they’ve been there for some good times and some dark times. But there’s lots of good things - Richard Gleeson ...and Chris Jordan.”

Stuart Broad is full of admiration for Bhuvneshwar, particularly that he gives no indication of which is the inswinger and which is the away swinger.
