Jamie Overton (3-0-18-1) will bowl the last over. He has 24 runs to play with, and this should be England's game, unless a miracle happens.

no run, A dot to end a brilliant over from Sam Curran and Italy need 25 off the final over. Another yorker-length delivery, angling in from outside off. Crishan Kalugamage jams it out to extra cover and the batters don't go for the run.

A sigh of relief for England. Crishan Kalugamage comes out to the middle now.

18.5

Sam Curran to Grant Stewart

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran is taking England to the Super 8, it seems and what a big wicket this is in the context of the game. Curran stays around the wicket and goes full and wide yet again, with pace-on. Grant Stewart hangs back and throws the hands at it but ends up slicing it off the outside edge. The ball goes quickly to the left of short third, where Liam Dawson moves across and takes a smart catch. Stewart's fighting knock of 45 off just 23 balls comes to an end.

3 wickets for Sam Curran. Sam Curran is on a roll.

18.4

1 run, Curran is sticking to his plans and is doing a fine job, 25 needed now off 8 balls. Curran goes for the wide yorker again and nails it as well. Jaspreet Singh reaches out and jams it on the bouce to Adil Rashid at short third for a single.

18.4

Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh

1^wd

wide, 1 run, WIDE! Pace-on delivery, it is the attempted wide yorker but Curran pushes it beyond the tramline. The nerves are settling in for both sides now.

18.3

Sam Curran to Grant Stewart

1 run, A slower bumper, banged in well short and wide outside off, Grant Stewart reaches for it and uppercuts it on the bounce to Jofra Archer at deep backward point. Archer doesn't even make an attempt at the catch and is happy to concede the single.

18.2

Sam Curran to Grant Stewart

no run, Excellent review! Sam Curran comes around the wicket and angles in a slower ball, bowling it on a good length. Grant Stewart walks across to slog it away but gets beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Stewart, who is running to the bowler's end for the single, reviews it right away. UltraEdge shows a big spike when the ball is next to the inside edge. NOT OUT! However, it will be a dot ball as well.

18.1

Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh

18.1

Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh

1^wd

wide, 1 run, WIDE! Pressure on the fielding side. Full and wide outside off, slower too but this one angles beyond the tramline.

With 21 runs from Adil Rashid's over, Italy are still not out of this game. Here is Sam Curran to bowl the all-important penultimate over.

17.6

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart

SIX, SIX! Wow, what hitting from Grant Stewart, 21 runs off the over and Italy are back in business. Tossed up, full and outside off, Grant Stewart manages to reach the ball and lifts it over long off for a biggie. 30 needed off 12 balls.

17.5

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart

SIX, SIX! That's whacked away for another maximum. Rashid drags the length too short and darts it into the batter. Grant Stewart goes very deep in the crease and moves past the leg stump before clobbering it over long on for a biggie.

17.4

Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh

1 run, Floated up, wide outside off, Jaspreet Singh fetches the ball and slogs it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.3

Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh

SIX, SIX! Oh, Jaspreet Singh gets one out of screws as well. Flighted ball on the stumps, a bit too full. Singh sits down and swings across the line, heaving it over cow corner for a six.

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart

1 run, At the stumps, hit down the ground and Stewart takes the single.

17.1

Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh

1 run, Dragged length, angled into the batter. Singh advances and forces it down to long on for a single.

Will Harry Brook bring spin on? Yes, he will, as Adil Rashid (3-0-22-1) replaces Sam Curran.

16.6

Jofra Archer to Grant Stewart

SIX, SIX! No matter how they come and Grant Stewart is keeping Italy in with an outside chance. Another bumper, directed at the batter. Stewart swings and gets a top edge that flies over fine leg for a six. 51 needed now off 18 balls.

30 runs for Grant Stewart

150 runs for ITA

16.5

Jofra Archer to Grant Stewart

no run, Dug in short over middle, Stewart backs away to play the upper cut but is beaten for pace and bounce.

16.4

Jofra Archer to Grant Stewart

no run, Ouch, that must have hurt! Full and angled into the batter. Grant Stewart looks to back away but gets cramped for room and gets an inside edge onto the left leg. A stinging blow but Stewart seems fine.

16.3

Jofra Archer to Grant Stewart

SIX, SIX! Up and over, Stewart gets enough power on it. Very full, tailing back into middle and leg, Grant Stewart manages to stay back and lift it over wide long off for a six.

16.2

Jofra Archer to Jaspreet Singh

1 run, No run out as confirmed by the smart replay. Full and straight, jammed out to mid on for a quick single. The fielder fires in a direct hit at the bowler's end but Jaspreet Singh dives in to make his ground.

16.1

Jofra Archer to Jaspreet Singh

no run, Just back of a length, darts back into the batter. Jaspreet Singh is cut in half as he looks to play at it and the ball goes past the inside edge.

15.6

Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh

1 run, No hat-trick! Sam Curran had a hat-trick recently against Sri Lanka in the lead-up to this World Cup but he won't get one here. Back of a length and outside off, cut away uppishly but well past backward point for a single.

Who faces the hat-trick ball? It will be Jaspreet Singh.

15.5

Sam Curran to Gian-piero Meade

out, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Not much of an appeal from Sam Curran but it doesn't matter as he is now on a hat-trick. Back to around the wicket, bowled on a good length and outside off, slower too. Gian-Piero Meade backs away to go over the off side but gets a faint edge through to the keeper. Jos Buttler pouches it and knows it straightaway and the umpire's finger also goes up.

Another one bites the dust. Gian-Piero Meade is the next man in.

15.4

Sam Curran to Marcus Campopiano

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran switches to over the wicket and serves a high full toss over middle and leg. Marcus Campopiano hangs back and looks to belt it but gets it high on the bat. The ball sails down to the left of long on, where Tom Banton slides across and takes a fine catch. The batter is hanging around in hope of getting a No Ball call. It is actually confirmed quite quickly by the umpires and the delivery is deemed as a fair one.

15.3

Sam Curran to Marcus Campopiano

no run, That's near perfect from Curran. Full and wide outside off, lands it just inside the tramline outside off. Campopiano is early to back away a bit and fails to reach it.

15.2

Sam Curran to Grant Stewart

1 run, Very full and wide outside off, Stewart stays put and just reaches out, toe-ending it past the left side of the bowler and picks up a single.

15.1

Sam Curran to Marcus Campopiano

1 run, Curran returns to the attack. Shorter in length, angled down leg from around the stumps. Campopiano pulls it off the hips and down to fine leg for a single.

14.4

Adil Rashid to Marcus Campopiano

no run, Slows it up, full and on middle and off, Marcus Campopiano goes down for the sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. A slight appeal for LBW, but turned down.

How often do we see a wicket fall in the over right after the break? Quite often, to be honest and the Italians have lost another set batter. Marcus Campopiano walks out to bat now, at number 7.

14.3

Adil Rashid to Justin Mosca

out, OUT! TAKEN! Italy are just losing their way now. Adil Rashid bravely flights this up, full and on middle. Justin Mosca goes down on one knee to slog it down the ground but fails to get fully underneath it. He does not get the elevation and the ball flies straight down the throat of Tom Banton at long on, who makes no mistake. Both the set batters are gone now. 68 needed in 33 balls.

5 wickets down for ITA. Out batsman is Justin Mosca

14.2

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart

1 run, Floated, short and outside off, Grant Stewart punches it to sweeper cover for a single.

14.1

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart

SIX, SIX! Superb start after the break! Tossed up, full and around off. Grant Stewart extends his arms to reach out for it and launches it high and handsomely over the long on fence for half a dozen more.

DRINKS! Just 6 overs left now and Italy are still hanging in the game. With 75 needed off 36 balls, England will feel they are ahead in the game but we have seen what one good stand can do. England need a couple of more wickets to really break the back of this chase. Italy will rely on Justin Mosca to anchor the innings and hope that the likes of Grant Stewart and those to follow can get the big hits away. Also, Adil Rashid (2-0-14-0) is back on as England look to put the squeeze on.

13.6

Jamie Overton to Grant Stewart

1 run, Pitched up and on middle, Grant Stewart heaves it off the inner half of the bat to deep mid-wicket for one. Just 6 runs off the over.

13.5

Jamie Overton to Grant Stewart

1^wd

wide, 1 run, WIDE! Slower delivery, full and outside off, very close to the tramline. Grant Stewart backs away and is nowhere near to play at that. The umpire calls it a wide.

12.1

Liam Dawson to Justin Mosca

1 run, Short and on middle, Justin Mosca pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Just about to mention that this is turning into a serious run chase by Italy, and they lose their star batter at the wrong moment. Still, the platform has been laid and Justin Mosca is out there, batting on 41. With that said, Grant Stewart walks out to bat now.

11.6

Will Jacks to Benjamin Manenti

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Will Jacks has the last laugh and the Benjamin Manenti show is over here at the Gardens. This is slower through the air, full and outside off. Benjamin Manenti goes down and tries to drag it down the ground but this time gets no power on the shot as he hits it from the toe-end of the bat. It flies towards long on, where Tom Banton runs forward to take a fine catch just above the ground. Manenti walks back for a fantastic 60 off 25 and gets a rousing applause from the dugout and the crowd.

11.5

Will Jacks to Benjamin Manenti

FOUR, FOUR! There is no stopping that! Short and outside off, Benjamin Manenti uses the width on offer and crunches his cut through point for a blazing boundary.

11.4

Will Jacks to Benjamin Manenti

11.3

Will Jacks to Benjamin Manenti

SIX, SIX! FIFTY FOR MANENTI! This has been an incredible knock, and he has got to it in just 22 balls, almost matching Will Jacks, who got it in 21 balls for England earlier on.

50 runs for ITA

DRINKS! No shortage of entertainment in the Powerplay. England managed to pick up the 3 wickets, but Italy finished well, getting 25 runs in the last two overs. Justin Mosca looks in great touch and has taken a liking to Archer, while Benjamin Manenti will be looking to join the fun as well. In the context of the game, England are much ahead and will look to keep chipping away at the wickets, especially with the field restrictions now lifted. Here is Adil Rashid to bowl after the break.

Jamie Overton to Harry Manenti

out, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is a stunning catch from Jos Buttler behind the stumps. Jamie Overton sees the batter move across to the off side, lands this on a shortish length and outside off. Harry Manenti shuffles across for the scoop but gets cramped up for the room and only manages to get it off the gloves. Buttler sees this and already moves to his left early. He times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air with his outstretched right glove above his head, going across like a goalkeeper making a save. Italy are 22/3, chasing 203 runs.

3 wickets down for ITA. Out batsman is Harry Manenti
