England never recovered from the wickets they lost early and were eventually all out for 148. Earlier, he scored his first T20I half century and his 51 off 33 balls helped powered India to198/8.

India vs England 1st T20 live score: India beat England by 50 runs
Arshdeep Singh gets two as Parkinson hits it straight to Axar Patel and Rohit Sharma has won his 13th consecutive match as T20I captain. This match was expected to be a tough one for India, with some fears of a one-sided contest swirling around. It was one-sided allright, but in India's favour. England were never in this game at all and Jos Buttler's first match as full-time white ball captain has become a day to forget for him.
India vs England 1st T20 live: OUT! Arshdeep does get his 1st wicket
Not too much celebrations from Arshdeep. Topley is not much of a batter but it's a first wicket nonetheless in international cricket. England have been shredded to pieces here.

India vs England live score: Pandya's sensational game ends
Pandya bowls the 17th and he can't really get another but who is complaining? He becomes the first Indian to take four wickets and score a half century in the same match. Arshdeep Singh bowls the 18th, let's see if he can get his first international wicket.

India vs England 1st T20 live score: England 115/7 in 15 overs
It is quite extraordinary that India are winning in this manner despite the number of catches they have dropped. The latest culprit is Deepak Hooda, who drops an absolute sitter at long-off. He then sends in a hard throw that hurts the bowler Chahal's hands.
Ind vs Eng 1st T20: OUT! Pandya gets 4!
Scoring a half century was not enough for him, he has gone and dismantled this England lineup. Curran tries to hook him after moving a long way outside off, gets a top edge and the ball loops to Karthik.
Curran c Karthik b Pandya 4 (4), England 106/7 in 13.5 overs
Ind vs Eng: OUT! Chahal does the job
Suryakumar Yadav had dropped a catch that came straight at him off Moeen Ali two overs ago. He makes up for that by taking this one cleanly. Harry Brook is gone and that breaks the partnership.

Ind vs Eng live cricket score: England 72/4 after 10 overs
Partnership between Moeen and Brook is now on 39 off 23. India have brought in Chahal and Axar and both spinners haven't really bothered the batters the way the pacers did before this.
India vs England live score: DROPPED! Karthik makes a mess of it
Short from Harshal and Brook top edges the pull shot. Karthik runs behind it, seemed to have got under it safely but ends up dropping it. England 53/4 after 8 overs.
India vs England 1st T20 live: England 45/4 in 7 overs
Harry Brook hits Hardik for a four and a six to get England something from the powerplay but this has been India's powerplay through and through. Brook is looking good, he has a bit of a golden boy reputation, having plundered runs in County cricket this season. But this is a real uphill task for England now.

And Pandya has a third! Full delivery outside off, the ball swings away and Roy tries to smash it over the off side. Ends up edging it to third man.

What a big wicket that is, second of the over for Pandya. The big-hitting Liam Livingstone nicks behind to Dinesh Karthik. Hardik Pandya's all-round brilliance on full display in this game.
Ind vs Eng live: BOWLED HIM! Pandya gets Malan
Pandya delivered with the bat, now he strikes with the ball. Full delivery, Malan is on his backfooted and cramped for space, ends up inside edging the ball onto his stumps.

Ind vs Eng 1st T20: India 198/8 after 20 overs
That was a roller coaster of a last over, which perfectly concludes a roller coaster of an innings. After Karthik fell, Harshal Patel was run out after a rather chaotic attempt at a single. Arshdeep Singh then managed to run two. This is a good score but far lesser than what India looked capable of reaching.

Sam Curran has taken an absolute blinder at point. Karthik has gone four, four and then falls.

Parkinson sends it wide and Axar has to reach for it. The ball goes up in the air and lands into the hands of Jason Roy at covers.
India vs England 1st T20 live: Into the last five overs
No boundaries for nine balls now. India are 157/4. It remains a good total but they would know better than to slow down now. This England batting lineup can chase down anything.

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.
Ind vs Eng 1st T20: GONE! There is the big wicket, SKY falls
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

India vs England live score: FOUR! 50 up for India
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.
Ind vs Eng live cricket score: GONE! Moeen gets both openers
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.

Ind vs Eng live: BACK TO BACK SIXES FOR HOODA!
Ind vs Eng live cricket score: OUT! Rohit falls!
A beauty from Moeen, brilliang catch from Buttler and Rohit's rocket start has been stopped short.

Ind vs Eng live cricket score: BACK TO BACK FOURS!
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.

India vs England 1st T20 live: 180 plus a good score?
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.
India vs England live score: DK returns to England
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.
India vs England 1st t20 live score: What the captains said
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.
Ind vs Eng 1st T20: The squads
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
Ind vs Eng live: TOSS ALERT!
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.
India vs England live score: Deepak Hooda
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.
India vs England 1st T20 live: Bhuvneshwar Kumar's resurgence
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.
India vs England 1st t20 live score: Arshdeep Singh given cap
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.
Ind vs Eng 1st T20: 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.
