Gautam Gambhir's India in driver's seat:
The game started in a brilliant fashion for the Men in Blue after their captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first. Arshdeep Singh gave the home side a flying start by dismissing the dangerous Phil Salt for a duck in the first over.
Buttler and Harry Brook then shared a 48-run stand with the former scoring the bulk of the runs during the partnership. Varun Chakravarthy broke the stand by dismissing Harry Brook for 17 runs in the eighth over. In the same over, the right-arm spinner also dismissed Liam Livingstone for a duck to leave England 4 down for 65.
Jacob Bethell did not last long either as he departed after scoring 7 runs off 14 balls. He was dismissed by Hardik Pandya.
