Another yorker as Hales steers it to thirdman for two runs, managing to beat a good flat throw from Rohit from the deep.

Umesh bowls a low full toss which Hales drills through the covers for a four and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

With 12 needed from the final over, Hales turns the game firmly in England's favour as he blasts Bhuvneshwar's first ball for a straight six.

He gets an inside edge off the next ball as he attempts the pull for a boundary before taking one.
