And, with that, time for me to say goodbye. England have won just one game on their Indian white-ball adventure – and the Champions Trophy draws ever closer. There is a single ODI to go before that starts, a final match at Ahmedabad on Wednesday – starting at 8am GMT. We’ll be here, do join us.

“It was good, really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. An important game, series on the line as well. I really broke it down into pieces, how I wanted to bat, assessing what you need to do at regular intervals, was important for a batter who gets set to bat as deep as possible, and that was my focus.
“Obviously, looking at the pitch, when you play on black soil the ball can skid on a bit, important to show the full face of the bat, but later on…when England were bowling at my body, trying to access the gaps.. all about trying to understand what you are trying to do as a batter. And good support from Gill and Shreyas as well.”
“Gill is a very very classy player, doesn’t seem to get overawed by the situation, just so classy to watch from the other end.
“The middle overs are very important, keep taking wickest and that’s how you stop the run scoring. We want to keep getting better as a team, there is nothing specific to work on but keep working on ourselves and as a team.”
