Now this is a disastrous start but that's such a poor shot.

I'm pretty sure that one was too high but Arshdeep is getting the ball moving both ways. This won't be easy for the USA batters.

There's another huge appeal from Arshdeep Singh again as he beats new batter Andries Gous' defences with another viscious inswinger.

Umpire says no, Arshdeep pleads with Rohit Sharma for a review but the skipper says no.

Height looked to be an issue there. Still, this is a breathless start.

Arshdeep didn't even turn around to look at the umpire, he knew it was out. It's hitting middle and off, there's no point even discussing the possibility of a review.

It's the worst possible start. Jahangir was trapped back, caught in no-man's land.

The crowd is building and it's a sea of blue.

We always expected India to bowl first. The pitch has done a lot for the seamers early on, for every game here.

USA openers Steven Taylor and the recalled Shayan Jahangir touch gloves before sprinting out to the middle. They look ready for this, as do the increasingly raucous crowd.

Arshdeep Singh will open the bowling for India.

Here we go...

I haven't been entirely surprised by the USA's success, because of their positive results leading in to the World Cup including beating Bangladesh.

They played the match of their lives against Pakistan, even though Pakistan were nowhere near their best.

There is real quality in this side. They'll back themselves to put in another big performance today.

I think the wicket will play the same and the good thing for the USA is that they are used to conditions like this.

For them, it'll be about doing the basics. Can they get 110-115 and then let the pitch do the rest for you with the ball?

If you are tuning in, good afternoon, Mr President.

A few days ago I contacted the White House to see if president Joe Biden would tune in to watch India v USA - or better still follow it via the BBC live text commentary - but unfortunately I haven't received a reply.

Former US presidents have had brief dalliances with cricket. There's evidence that George Washington enjoyed the game while Dwight Eisenhower attended a match in Karachi.

Of course, we probably all remember when Donald Trump struggled to pronounce, external the names of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli during a visit to India.

It is an absolutely glorious day at Long Island as the players come out for the national anthems. There is a healthy crowd in place already, with more spectators expected to arrive as the match progresses.

South Africa also qualified for the Super 8s after Sri Lanka's match against Nepal in Florida was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain.

The result does not completely end Sri Lanka's hopes of a top-two finish in Group D, but they require a highly unlikely sequence of results - including a washout when Bangladesh face the Netherlands on Thursday - to go through.

Adam Zampa reached a big milestone in Australia's comprehensive win over Namibia.

The 32-year-old spinner's fourth wicket of the game was his 100th in T20 internationals.

He became the first Australia men's player to three figures in the format and third overall after Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt.

“Over the last four or five years, [Zampa] is probably our most important player in terms of how we structure up," said captain Mitchell Marsh.

"He loves the big moment, loves the pressure. He’s bowling beautifully and we’re lucky to have him.”

Overnight, Australia secured their place in the T20 World Cup Super 8s as they bowled Namibia out for 72 on their way to a thumping nine-wicket win in Antigua.

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa took 4-12 to reach a century of T20 international wickets, while Josh Hazlewood and Marcus Stoinis claimed two apiece.

After dismissing Namibia in 17 overs, the Australia top order ruthlessly knocked off the runs inside the powerplay.

Travis Head finished unbeaten on 34 from 17 balls and captain Mitchell Marsh hit the winning runs with two balls left of the sixth over.

Victory took Australia above Scotland to the top of Group B, with the two sides playing each other in St Lucia on Sunday.

A win for Scotland would eliminate defending champions England, who first need to beat Oman and Namibia handsomely to have any chance of progressing.

In 2015, Saurabh Netravalkar gave up his dreams of playing professional cricket in India and moved to the US to work as a software engineer.

“Cricket was over for me. I had no hope or expectation left to play again,” he says.

Today, almost a decade later, he will face the Indian cricket team in a T20 World Cup match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York.

But he will do so as part of the US team.

This will be the first meeting between India and USA, and the last game in this T20 World Cup at this temporary stadium in New York.

Interestingly, the players from the United States got to the ground nice and early then commandeered a pitch on the end of the square to warm up.

Nobody has been allowed to train on any of the pitches throughout the tournament but with no more games to come the gloves are off.
