India 101-5 (30 ovs); Target to win: 194 | Scorecard
Karthik is struck on the pads by Stokes but the leg before appeal is turned down. He then takes a single into the covers before Kohli also picks a single.
Karthik turns the last ball through midwicket for two runs to get four runs from the over.
Anderson bowls another quiet over, giving away two singles as Kohli continues to be rock solid from one end and keep the England bowlers at bay.
Karthik plays a lovely drive through the covers for a four off Stokes and then taps the next ball to point for one as the target is exactly 100 runs now.
Anderson gets a break as Broad comes back into the attack. Karthik leaves a few deliveries through to the keeper before he chases a wide one and gets a thick outside edge which flies past the slips for a four.
Kohli the wicket England need desperately to brighten their hopes for victory. So far he has looked untroubled as he keeps collecting regular singles and twos to take his score to 38 as India cross the 100-run mark, in the 30th over.
India are 101 for five in 30 overs, needing another 93 runs for victory.
