Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, OUT! TIMBER! Bhuvneshwar Kumar draws the first blood and gets rid of a dangerous Jos Buttler. The English skipper departs on a golden duck. Kumar fires it full and around off, this one nips in off the deck. Jos Buttler stays back and ends up playing all around it. The stumps are shattered and the Indians celebrate. Not the start England would have wanted. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Roy, Good length, on the fourth stump. Roy shuffles across and clips it to mid-wicket for a single.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Roy, England could not start their innings straightaway. Kumar serves it on a length, outside off, it shapes away off the deck. Jason Roy tries to chase it but misses.

We are back for the chase. Rohit Sharma is seen having a quick talk in the huddle. Turns out to be a long one. Now, they spread out on the field. Jos Buttler and Jason Roy are the openers for England.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start with the ball.

...The Chase...

Right then! A belter to bat on and England have a long lineup as well. On the other side, India have experience in the bowling rank. It will be exciting to see who comes out on top here. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up.

England too will not be that disappointed with their bowling. Although they could have done much better by bowling tight lines and keeping it tight early on. Moeen Ali struck with two wickets inside the Powerplay but England leaked runs after that in the middle phase. Chris Jordan was the most economical of the seven bowlers used as he finished with two wickets. Jos Buttler will be happy with the performance and he will bet on the batters to chase this. 

India will be really happy with the score. Apart from Ishan Kishan, everyone chipped in with runs and got off to a good start and with an impressive strike rate as well but failed to convert into a big one. It was then Hardik Pandya who hunted runs and scored his maiden fifty in the process. Just when a good finish was required, he fell at the wrong time. Dinesh Karthik tried his best to finish things on a high but he too fell and India failed to cross the 200-run mark. Still, not that bad score but it is a belter to bat on and the bowlers need to step up.

So, 20 runs off the last three over! India will feel they missed out on a good finish as they ran out of batters. But in the end, both the teams will be happy with the score. 

Tymal Mills to Arshdeep Singh, Slower short ball, on off. Singh pulls it to deep square leg and gets a couple. INDIA END THEIR INNINGS AT 198/8.

Tymal Mills to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Full, outside off. Kumar lofts it over backward point for one.

The debutant, Arshdeep Singh has to show his batting skills as he walks out.

Tymal Mills to Harshal Patel, OUT! RUN OUT! It is a slower delivery yet again, into the pads. Patel misses to flick. It rolls out to the leg side. Bhuvneshwar Kumar calls for a single, Patel is a bit late to take off. Jos Buttler gathers the ball, turns and scores a bulls eye at the non-striker's end. Harshal Patel's innings comes to an end.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the new batter in.

Tymal Mills to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT! A wonderful running catch by Sam Curran means Karthik's innings comes to an end. It is a slower delivery, on a length, outside off. Karthik moves to the leg side and misjudges it completely. The ball goes off the outer half over point and Curran takes a sharp catch.
