India vs England 1st T20I Highlights: IND thrash ENG by 7 wickets with record 43 balls to spare

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: And with a whopping 43 balls to spare. Tilak finishes it off with a four off the fifth ball of the 13th over by Wood. He gets just a top edge on the pull but the pace of Wood sends the ball to the ropes. That is India's quickest win against England by some margin. The previous record was 13 balls to spare while chasing 158 in Pune in 2012 and while chasing 165 in Ahmedabad in 2021.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Well he has been just swinging at everything now and he falls at last. India's deficit is down to eight needed and are still in the 12th over. Abhishek gets an outside edge to his haymaker, Brook takes the catch at long off. He walks off to a standing ovation from the Eden Gardens.

India 116/2 in 11 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Now that Archer is off, Abhishek is setting Eden Gardens alight. He has gone absolutely berzerk here. Adil Rashid gives him too much width fourth ball of the eighth over, Abhishek flays it past deep cover for a four. Then he steps out and sends the fifth ball over deep square for a six. The last ball is sent straight down the ground over the bowler's head for another six. Tilak gets off strike first ball of the next over and then Abhishek clubs the next delivery leg side over the boundary for another six and raises his fifty.

India 88/2 in 8.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: And at the other end, Mark Wood has figures of 0/20 in 2 overs. Gus Atkinson has conceded 22 runs in just one over. That has been the difference between Archer and the rest today for England. Now, Adil Rashid to bowl the first over of spin in the eighth over.

India 67/2 in 7 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Well he is not letting the Indians get away but the hosts need just 70 to win off 84 balls. Wood just conceded 18 runs at the other end and so it is quite clear that it is Archer who has the number on the Indians here. Can he do something special for them in this seventh over? Tilak is on five off two, Abhishek on 27 off 11.

India 63/2 in 6 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: India's dominance since the 2024 T20 World Cup has been largely based on Samson and Suryakumar's form. Archer has got both of them in the same over.

Samson c Atkinson b Archer 26 (20)

India 41/2 in 4.2 overs

Archer follows up with a jaffa, it spits up at Abhishek and beats his pull. Abhishek retorts by sending the fifth ball over cover for a six. He finishes the over on 10 off six, Samson on 23 off 12.

India 33/0 in 3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Sanju Samson has given an over full of highlight reel candidates here. Gus Atkinson bowls the second over and Samson pulls the first ball from outside off to the boundary for a four. The second is flayed between cover and mid-off for another four. The batter is beaten third ball as he drove on the up but Samson then moves leg side for the fourth ball and times the lofted shot over covers to perfection. It flies over the boundary for a six. Samson then whips the fifth ball past midwicket for another four and then ends the over by tucking the last ball of the pads for a four as well. He has raced 23 off 12, Abhishek yet to face a ball.

India 23/0 in 2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: That is some opening over from Archer. He has Samson skipping and hopping throughout the over. Samson plays the last one off side to take a single at long last.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Abhishek is going to face Jofra Archer, Samson - three centuries in his last four innings, at the other end.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Well England have managed to get a score much higher than what seemed possible when Buttler fell and even then, this is India's match to lose through and through. Pandya got Archer's wicket off the fourth ball and then Samson ran out Wood off the last ball as Rashid swung and ran. Pandya finishes with figures of 2/42, he has been woefully behind the rest of the bowlers. He finished with an economy of 10.50 while among the highest economy from the rest of the bowlers is Chakravarthy's 5.75. Chakravarthy is the highest wicket-taker with figures of 3/23.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Well this ninth wicket stand has done better than most batters today. It has lasted more than an over, for starters. Hardik Pandya to bowl the last over, Arshdeep finishes with figures of 2/17.

England 121/8 in 19 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Clearly, this is a pitch suiting the Indian spinners, and so in that context, the top dog has got the top dog. Buttler hit a six off the first ball of that over, pulling it over midwicket. He then goes for another leg-side shot, doesn't get the distance on it. Nitish Kumar Reddy comes running in and takes a sensational catch. England's only hope is gone.

Buttler c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Varun 68 (44)

England 109/8 in 16.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Atkinson has been charging at Axar throughout this over and he finally perishes. It's almost like he had no clue how to play him and so he just went for broke and hoped for the best. The best didn't happen. He misses the ball by a mile, Samson collects and whips off the bails.

Atkinson st Samson b Patel 2 (13)

England 103/7 in 16 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Axar strikes! Overton miscues a drive and Reddy takes a sharp catch at cover. Overton charged down the track to Axar and gives it everything. It had a lot of height but no distance and Reddy did very well to keep his eyes on it and make that catch look simple. India have been impeccable today.

Overton c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Patel 2 (4)

England 95/6 in 13.3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Bethell's struggle has ended, not a good introduction to RCB fans today. He sits deep in the crease, his eyes seem to light up with the short ball from Pandya but doesn't get the connection. Catch taken at deep midwicket. England are in a real soup here.

Bethell c Abhishek Sharma b Pandya 7 (14)

England 83/5 in 11.5 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: It's pretty much been a one-man show from the England captain today. Slow bouncer first ball from Pandya in the 12th over, Buttler waits and pulls it gently for a single. He has scored 50 of the 81 runs England have made thus far, which shows just how much better he has fared compared to the rest of his teammates today.

England 81/4 in 11.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Just nine runs of the ninth and 10th overs. Chakravarthy seemed to have struck again off the first ball of the 10th over, India seemed very confident of the stumping but Bethell stood his ground. Replays showed that it was very close but the batter is safe.

Buttler is on 47 off 29 balls, Bethell on three off eight.

England 74/4 in 10 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Oh that's a ripper right there. Drifts the fifth ball in and Livingstone is completely bamboozled by it. He goes for an expansive drive and the ball hits the stumps. It looks like Livingstone was playing for the turn. What a bowler!

Livingstone b Varun 0 (2)

England 65/4 in 7.5 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Brook has played all around that. A wrong 'un third ball of the eighth, it drifts in and then rips away, Brook plays the wrong line and the ball sneaks between bat and pad to take the wicket.

Brook b Varun 17 (14)

England 65/3 in 7.3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Now India would be wary of letting this partnership go on for too long. He uses the feet expertly second ball of Axar's first over of the match and sends him over cover inside out for the first six. Then takes a single and Buttler sends the fifth ball sailing over midwicket.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE: Just three runs in the fifth over with Arshdeep returning for a third. What a spell this has been from him. Buttler gets two singles while Harry Brook gets one. Arshdeep appeals for caught behind off the last ball but he was the only one, Samson wasn't convinced. Spin comes in for the first time in the last over of the powerplay.

England 38/2 in 5 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE: Wow if keeping Shami was a tactical decision then wonder what the Indian think thank thinks of this tactic now. Pandya has pretty much let all the pressure built up by Arshdeep go. The first ball is wide down the leg side, the second is worked by Buttler off his hips to the square leg boundary for a four. Pandya tries to dig it in but the pace is not enough, sits up nicely for Buttler to send it past midwicket for another four. The third takes a leading edge and falls just short of Pandya. The fourth is hammered in front square for four and Pandya strays down leg side with the fifth ball, the ball goes to the fine leg boundary. Buttler takes a single last ball.

England 35/2 in 4 overs
