  1. Ind 33-1published at 4.3 overs

    Mark Wood errs for the first time - back of a length, a bit wide and Suryakumar picks it up brilliantly to punch through the covers for four.

    Wood errs again with a wide next up.

    That wasn't far from the perfect T20 length from Mark Wood in the previous over. Every ball was fast, back of a length and in or around middle and off stump. Very hard to hit.

  4. Ind 27-1published at 4 overs

    Jofra Archer responds with a dot ball.

    Mark Wood again next up.

    Blimey.

    Suryakumar Yadav has started his international batting career in frankly ridiculous style.

    A short ball from Jorfra Archer gets the treatment as Suryakumar pulls it round the corner for a towering six, raising one leg off the ground as he connects.

    Viv Richards would be proud of that.

    No Virat Kohli at three.

    New man Suryakumar Yadav walks to the crease.

    Rohit c&b Archer 12 (Ind 21-1)

    Got him! Canny variation from Jofra Archer removes Rohit Sharma.

    Archer started the over with a slower ball, before two zippy deliveries.

    He goes slower ball again with the fourth and it fools Rohit, who is too early with the shot and chips it back to Archer.

    Important breakthrough for the tourists.

  9. Ind 19-0published at 3 overs

    Rohit 11, Rahul 6

    Genius from Mark Wood - a maiden over to stall India's progress, with just the leg bye going on their tally.

    Excellent pace and line from the Durham man.

    Nice to see India stick with KL Rahul. His record in this format before this series was exemplary. Will he return to that form today?

  11. Ind 19-0published at 2.3 overs

    Fine start by Mark Wood - two dots balls and a scurried leg bye.

  12. Postpublished at 13:41 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2021

    Adil Rashid gets just the one over for now.

    Mark Wood enters the fray...

    Ged: This is how T20 cricket should be played, explosive from the word go. It gives the opposition a far better chase rather than a low scoring game.

  14. Ind 18-0published at 2 overs

    KL Rahul, who has struggled in the series so far, cuts just wide of point, but Jason Roy gets a paw on it to keep it to one.

    Rohit Sharma steals a leg bye off the pad before Jofra Archer bangs down a sharp bouncer that Rahul wisely drops his hands below.

    Shot! Rahul punches deliciously off the back foot through point for four.

    Jofra Archer starts well. Two dots in a row. Impeccable line.

    Ind 12-0

    Rohit Sharma was a bit sluggish setting off but he made his ground by miles. On we go.

    India start very well. Can England hit back through their quick bowlers?

  19. Third umpirepublished at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2021

    KL Rahul takes a sharp single to get off the mark.

    Jos Buttler whips off the bails as Rohit dives. He looks in. But they're going to check...

  20. Ind 10-0published at 0.3 overs

    Another googly from Rashid is dispatched easily to long leg by Rohit. India look like they mean business here.
