The first powerplay is over but Jason Roy is still on the charge. Maybe he fancies some lasagne tonight. Can you get that in Pune?

Sensational from Jonny Bairstow. He can whack it left and right but this is a near perfect cricket shot. He sends the ball back racing past bowler Shardul Thakur's bootlaces.
That's the end of the powerplay. England are way ahead.

Don't sweat your white sauce. Layer up the lasagne, cover with a pot of creme fraiche, smother in mozzarella. Wonderful!

Anything you can do... Bairstow lofts Shardul over the leg side. Such a good shot. Kohli is grimacing.

Scrap the white sauce. Use mozzarella chunks, handfuls of Parmesan and single cream on each layer....delicious and tastes even better the next day.

Fetch that!
Jason Roy has smacked that a long way.

Roy and Bairstow are so much fun to watch. I'm getting proper 2019 vibes watching this now. They are on the charge and at the minute India can't stop it.

After starring with the bat debutant Krunal Pandya is on.
Roy greets him by clobbering him over mid-off. Four more!

I always add a little honey mustard to the sauce to give it that little extra touch.

There have been some worrying injuries today. Iyer stuck out his left arm to stop the ball but as he landed has jarred it into the ground.
The over ends with Bairstow whacking away another four. England are going well.

Iyer is rolling around on the turf. This looks bad. The physio is on and Iyer's having to be helped from the field.
Bairstow comes up to give him his best wishes.

That sounds controversial but Alessandro seems to know what he's talking about.
Bairstow hammers the ball at extra cover where Sheryas Iyer makes an excellent stop. He's in a lot of pain and looks to have done something similar to Billings earlier.

Re: Alex from Manchester and his lasagne - do as my Nonna does and omit the white sauce entirely. This is my family's traditional method from the far South of Italy and it is far superior.

Kohli has been forced into an early bowling change. Debutant Prasidh Krishna has been taken out of the firing line. Shardul Thakur replaces him.

Should a lasagne white sauce have cheese in? I'd say so.
Roy looks happy to be relatively steady patient against Bhuvneshwar.

Alex in Manchester: Equal quantities of flour and butter and whisk and don't stop whisking when you add the milk to avoid lumps and as much milk until sauce desired thickness

Back to Bhuvi and his probing line and length...
That's a lovely cricket shot from Jason Roy. Guided along the ground through the covers.

England T20 bowlerLength looks to be really key for Prasidh. When he’s on or just short of a good length he gets some nice zip and bounce, but when he over pitches it’s very floaty and the England batters cash in.
