England vs India LIVE: Second T20, Old Trafford

Ind 83-2

Shreyas Iyer is already motoring nicely, pulling Adil Rashid to the boundary when the leggie drops short.

Ishan Kishan tries to do the same off the last, but merely cloths it to long on.

Nevertheless, India eke nine from that over.

Ind 74-2

It's down to Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer to keep up the momentum of this good start, and Shreyas is into his stride, cutting Liam Dawson to the rope.

Ishan gets on strike, but there is something amiss with his bat, which is swapped for a new blade.

India work it around, and Dawson's first over goes for nine.

Here come Adil Rashid...

Sam Curran was going through his box of tricks. You can't really have a go at Abhishek Sharma for trying to hit that for six.

But you have to think about the situation for India of losing their two six hitters in a couple of overs. It's a perfect one for England who can build that pressure.

WICKET

Abhishek Sharma c Banton b Curran 43 (Ind 65-2)

Revenge for Sam Curran!

Abhishek Sharma flips the final ball of the power play high over midwicket, but he doesn't get enough on it and Tom Banton has a comfortable catch to take a few yards in from the rope.

Ind 54-1

We get our first sight of Sam Curran's left-arm medium, but his first ball goes the way of a few others - smashed to the rope, this time over mid on, by the in-form Abhishek Sharma.

Will Jacks saw Vaibhav Sooryavanshi coming and he fired it in a little shorter and a little wider. He was left groping for the ball and couldn't make contact. An encouraging start on what will be a long journey.

A clever bit of bowling from Will Jacks, wide of the off stump, and he's the first man to get Vaibhav Sooryavanshi out in international cricket.

In 25 years that will be a quiz question - who got him out in his first game for India. Anyway, now the rest of the game can begin!

India are starting to feel some momentum which is a danger for England. Old Trafford is a lovely place to bat once you get in, especially if you enjoy the ball coming on.

Ind 41-0

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is going all around the wicket, getting one leg out of the way to despatch Tongue over long off for six.

To complete the over we see a rare T20 thing - three, as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stabs Tongue away through the off side.
