    5.6 Helicopter lands in Banton's hands at deep midwicket.That was a bad ball. Low full toss and at the stumps, Abhishek was right behind it and whipped it, so hard that his hands may have gotten whiplash, but off the inside-half. 65/2
    4.5 Takes him on and gets stumped! He nudged the slot ball and went to bash the next. Sent upstairs but he's walking. 94ks, back of length and wide. Sooryavanshi charged down and tried to slash it square. Missed it, looked to slide his back leg back in. Buttler took a bit but dislodged the bails well before the off-balance 15-year-old got back. A couple of big hits and part of a fifty-run stand, but not a memorable debut. 50/1
    17.2 He's swatted this once more, but gets this off the bottom edge and Dawson swoops in on this from extra cover! An easy catch, tbh... Was in the slot but Kishan just couldn't get under this one as he sends it a long way up... 157/5
    12.6 Shreyas runs down the track once more, but this time Banton swoops in to send back the India skipper! Was there to be hit, an 84 kph ball outside off. Iyer inside-out lofts this, more elevation than distance. Fielder swoops in near deep extra cover for an easy catch 130/3
    15.6 Dube has got a huge waft off his toe end, and Dube's misery ends! Was on a length outside off, 132 kph, Dube lofts this down the ground. Except it flies out to extra cover, and England are having a joyous time out here 146/4

    18.3 Jos Buttler's hit the wrong end but he'll get the run out anyway! Short and Axar misses the swipe, goes for the run anyway. Jos smiling here he knows he's got away with one here 165/6
    19.6 Not much Rana can do, it seems. And it's given out too after a soft appeal from Buttler! Archer doesn't end wicketless, at least. Was short and quick, Rana swishes at this but misses the delivery once more. 190/7

    0.1 Talk about bad luck. India literally missed tens of cuts early on and got away. Salt swings once, nicks to the keeper. Looks up and smiles. Walks back even though the umpire didn't give it out early. Here's Matt with the match-up numbers - 55 runs for 5 dismissals off 47 balls in all T20 now. T20I numbers below 0/1
    0.5 Fortune favours not England is the theme of the innings so far. Inswinger is fullish and on middle and leg, Buttler is out of the crease and flicks it straight to Varun at midwicket. Touch high but at an easy pace. Softie 1/2
    4.4 Big appeal for caught behind. Wide called. Kishan and Axar converge. Shreyas chats... and reviews! Brook made room, Axar followed him with a length ball. Went further in with the angle. Brook got on one knee and went for the slog sweep. The replay from mid-off's angle is in, it looks like there's a deflection. Minor celebrations among the fielders. Ultra-Edge in, clear spike. He's gloved it. Brook walks back. Great catch from Kishan, took two strides left and was right behind the ball while taking it 51/3

    12.6 Absolutely boshing drive, but straight to deep extra cover! It's been an over of great change-ups. Was full-ish outside off, 131 clicks. Banton lofts this but right to Tilak Varma, who pouches this no troubles 118/4
    15.2 Huge appeals and the umpire gives it right away! Jacks was down on one knee for a reverse sweep. Honestly, it looks like it's pitched well outside leg and it depends on how much the computer thinks it's spinning back in. Let's see... Well, he's not hit it at all. Oh and it's three reds. Brilliant umpiring. I failed the eye test completely; they pay the ump to be out there, eh! 133/5
    17.4 Curran has looked for a pick-up flick here, and he's bashed it right to Sooryavanshi down at deep midwicket! The boy wonder's first catch in an India cap, too. Was full on the pads, but Sooryavanshi's jump at the ropes prevented a six here 179/6
