Earlier, India were asked to bat first by Jos Buttler after winning the toss, and got the two early wickets as well of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. However, Rohit Sharma scored another fifty and his partnership with Suryakumar Yadav took India to a strong total of 171.
In reply, Buttler got off to a decent start, but once Axar got the better of him, wickets kept falling at regular intervals and England were eventually bowled out for just 103.
