England made one change to the eleven that last played the Indians – Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Ben Stokes and James Tredwell made way for Ian Bell, James Taylor, Ravi Bopara and Stuart Broad.

On winning the toss, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India’s skipper, chose to bat.

The first Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the 10^th over. They scored 36, and lost a wicket.

Shikhar Dhawan, who faced five balls, scored a run. Thirteen balls into the match, he was caught by Jos Buttler. James Anderson broke the one-run stand.

India scored 50 off 12.5 overs (77 balls). England had conceded three extras at that point.

The second-wicket pair put on 50 off 64 balls. While Ajinkya Rahane’s contribution to the partnership was 32, Rayudu’s contribution to it was 16. Extras’ contribution to the partnership was three.

Rahane, whose 40-ball (F)innings included a boundary and a six, eventually scored 33. Seventy-four balls after Dhawan’s dismissal, he was caught by Taylor. Steven, the player of the match, broke the 56-run partnership.

Ninety-one balls into the match, the first drinks break was taken. India scored 59 for the loss of a couple of wickets at that point. While Rayudu was batting on 22, Virat Kohli hadn’t opened his account.

Kohli, who faced eight balls, scored just four. Thirteen balls after Rahane’s dismissal, he was caught by Buttler. Needless to say, Finn was in seventh heaven.

The seventh-wicket pair didn’t get off the mark. Axar Patel, who faced a ball, didn’t open his account. The next ball, he was dismissed by Finn.

The last-wicket pair didn’t get off the mark. Mohammed Shami had a reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored just a run. The next ball, he was caught by Ali off the bowling of Anderson.

Umesh Yadav, who didn’t face a ball, was unbeaten.

The number of extras they had conceded at that point gave India no reason to be in seventh heaven. India were dismissed for 153 off 39.3 overs. Chris Woakes and Broad bowled seven wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded 35, the latter conceded 33.
