India vs England 1st T20 Highlights: All-round Pandya leads India to dominant 50-run win over England

Livingstone into the attack and Pandya pounces. He first cuts after getting on top of the bounce through backward point. Then he clobbers it bottom handed through long on. 

Jordan was brought back into the attack and he does the job. Bangs it in short, Suryakumar goes for a pull and it goes behind to Buttler. Umpire says not out but England go up. The ball had grazed the gloves as it turns out. 

Suryakumar c Buttler b Jordan 39 (19), India 126/4 in 11.4 overs

What a shot that is. Mills strays on to his pads and he simply flicks him from round the wicket and into the stands the ball goes. 

India 120/3 after 11 overs

Hardik Pandya has joined Suryakumar Yadav after the fall of Deepak Hooda and he hit two fours in the 10th over to reach 10 off 5. It also took India past the 100-run mark. 

India 105/3 in 10 overs

Well no big score for Hooda today, he goes down swinging. Jordan bangs it in short and Hooda hits it to backward square leg. 

Hooda c Mills b Jordan 33 (17), India 89/3 off 8.4 overs

Two fours for SKY off Matt Parkinson in that eighth over. This is turning out to be a worrying partnership now for England. 

Rohit had a hand but Deepak Hooda has led the way and India have rocketed to 66/2 in the powerplay. This period belongs to the visitors. 

Suryakumar Yadav walks in and plays that sweep shot that he is so good at off Moeen. That goes to the boundary and so SKY gets off the mark with a four. 

Just as it looked like India were getting back, England striker again. Ishan Kishan top edges a pull and holes at short backward square leg. 

Kishan c Parkinson b Ali 8 (10), India 46/2 after 4.5 overs

A beauty from Moeen, brilliang catch from Buttler and Rohit's rocket start has been stopped short. Rohit had just hit Moeen for back to back fours but the spinner follows those deliveries up with one that skids through quickly. Outside edge just before the ball reaches Buttler and the England captain reacts well. 

Rohit Sharma c Buttler b Ali 24 (14), India 29/1 off 2.5 overs

Good start for India and it is all thanks to Rohit. Ishan Kishan has faced just 2 balls and scored three while Rohit is on 16 off 10.

Was Rohit Sharma out of form in the IPL? You wouldn't tell from the start he has got. Reece Topley bowls the second over and the 2nd ball is clipped off the pads on the leg side. Rohit then opens the face of the bat and sends the ball careening through point. That takes him to 14 off 7.  

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan open the innings for India, Sam Curran opens the bowling for England. Here we go!

That's what Graeme Swann and Ajay Jadeja feel in the Sony Sports studio. Jadeja reckons that this is going to be a contest of batters as both sides possess weak bowling lineups. 

But this time, he is a player. Last year, Karthik was part of the Sky Sports commentary team for India's tour of England and a few other matches. 

Jos Buttler: Very proud day, captaining your country. Eoin has left the team in a great place The Test team has been fantastic to watch. Hopefully we can ride that momentum. Gleeson, Willey and Salt miss out We have a couple of all-rounders.

Rohit Sharma: We are gonna bat first. Looks like a good wicket. Good pitch, sun is out, better to bat first. Recovered pretty well, had a couple of hits before getting into this game. We know the scheduling, we got to have the understanding. We are making him (Arshdeep) play, the other guys will have their chance. Arshdeep has done well in the IPL, looks an exciting prospect.

England: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(wicketkeeper/captain), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Reece Topley, Matthew Parkinson

India: Rohit Sharma(captain), Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

Arshdeep Singh does make his debut for India

India have won the toss and chosen to bat. Rohit says that it's better to bat first with the sun out and the pitch looking good.  

Hooda may have never imagined that he could be considered a contender for Virat Kohli's spot in the Indian team but that is what he potentially could be in the T20I squad at least. He smashed a century in the second T20I against Ireland and his form with the bat, coupled with his ability to bowl, currently even makes him a better option than Kohli. Don't say that out too loud though. 

Bhuvneshwar's career has seen a lot of stoppages due to injuries but it seems he has got into a good rhythm this year. India have picked at least two wickets inside Powerplay in seven of their last nine matches, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the way with 13 powerplay wickets.

It looks like the young fast bowler will be making his debut today. Captain Rohit Sharma has handed him his cap in the team huddle. Arshdeep was one of the breakthrough fast bowlers in the IPL this season alongwith Umran Malik. 

The fiery young pacer has express pace, the kind of which we haven't really seen from an Indian, because of which he is always a talking point. Umran has played two T20Is and taken one wicket and Rohit Sharma did say that he is part of India's plans for the T20 World Cup. We will see if he gets a cap today. 

Ageas Bowl is gearing up for the spectacle. England are the pretty much the kings of big-hitting and India have tried their hand at going for it from the first ball. 

Rohit Sharma one of his four T20I centuries the last time he played a T20I against England in England. England had put up a target of 199 for India to chase and Rohit's century helped them chase it down with more than an over to spare. He smashed an unbeaten 100 off 56 balls with 11 fours and five sixes.
