Abhishek c Bethell b Rashid 29 (Ind 57-4)
Image source, Getty ImagesThat felt almost inevitable, didn't it?
Adil Rashid comes into the attack and takes a wicket with his second ball as Abhishek holes out to Jacob Bethell at deep mid-wicket.
Breakthrough for England.
Boom!
Abhishek Sharma driving through the gap for four.
Fifty up for India, with Rinku Singh taking advantage of the rapid outfield to pinch a four off the final delivery of the over.
And here comes Adil Rashid!
No sign of Adil Rashid yet...
Buttler has instead turned to Jamie Overton and he's made a tidy start, conceding just one single off a Ben Duckett misfield with his first three balls.
Phew. Well, that powerplay had a little bit of everything didn't it?
A triple-wicket maiden from Saqib Mahmood had India teetering 12-3 after two overs but Abhishek Sharma (24 off 15) and Rinku Singh (20 off 13) are coming hard at England's bowlers.
Six more for Rinku Singh!
He picks Mahmood's length and pulls the ball away to the boundary. Very stylish.
Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are rebuilding nicely for India. Their partnership has 25 runs off 18 balls.
Rinku Singh is taking the fight to England. Back-to-back boundaries get the scoreboard moving again.
Hardik Pandya already has his pads on in the dugout but he get rest easy for the time being.
Brydon Carse replaces Jofra Archer in the attack.
Amid all of the chaos, Abhishek Sharma is looking in good touch and timing the ball well.
He looks almost effortless as he dispatches Saqib Mahmood for a pair of boundaries. He's moved to 20 off 11 balls.

Brendon McCullum made a point of saying they'd not wrap Jofra Archer and Mark Wood up in cotton wool any more. That's a thing of the past - and he's been true to his word. Jofra's played four in four, which is testament to his fitness levels.
Saqib Mahmood is stealing the show with the ball but take nothing away from Jofra Archer, who is bowling quickly here in Pune.
Shot! Rinku Singh punches Jofra Archer through extra cover for four.
That will steady a few Indian nerves.

With the wickets of Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav, Saqib Mahmood's now has 13 powerplay scalps in T20Is since the start of 2024.
He's England's highest-powerplay wicket-taker in this time, despite only featuring in seven of their 21 T20Is.
Suryakumar c Carse b Mahmood 0 (Ind 12-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat on earth?! Remember what I said about India being happy at the end of the first over? Not anymore...
It's a triple-wicket maiden for Saqib Mahmood as Suryakumar Yadav picks out Brydon Carse at short mid-on.
Dream start for England.
Suryakumar Yadav defends to deny Mahmood a third wicket.
Saqib Mahmood is on a hat-trick...
Tilak c Archer b Mahmood 0 (Ind 12-2)
Two in two for Saqib Mahmood and it's an excellent catch from Jofra Archer, who comes running in from deep third before diving forward to remove Tilak Varma for 0.
Work to do for India in the powerplay.
Samson c Carse b Mahmood 1 (Ind 12-1)
Image source, ReutersImmediate impact from Saqib Mahmood, who removes Sanju Samson with his first delivery of the series.
He tries to pull Mahmood but picks out Brydon Carse at deep square leg.
India will be happy with that start, with Abhishek Sharma picking off a six and a four to finish the first over.
The outfield in Pune looks rapid.
