England trounced by Rohit-led India

India made five changes to their playing eleven – Virat Kohli, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj made way for Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah (the player of the match) and Yuzvendra Chahal.

England made four changes to the eleven that last played the Indians – Dawid Malan, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid and Mark Wood made way for Joe Root, Craig Overton, David Willey and Brydon Carse.

On winning the toss, Rohit Sharma, India’s skipper, chose to field.

The first Powerplay of England’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the 10th over. They scored 30, and lost five wickets.

Jason Roy, who faced five balls, failed to open his account. Ten balls into the match, Jasprit Bumrah broke the six-run stand.

The second-wicket pair didn’t get off the mark. Root, who faced a couple of balls, didn’t open his account. A couple of balls later, he was caught by Rishabh Pant off the bowling of Bumrah.

Ben Stokes, who faced a ball, didn’t open his account. Four balls later, he was caught by Pant. Shami broke the one-run stand.

Although his 20-ball innings included a boundary, Jonny Bairstow had no reason to be in seventh heaven – 17 balls later, he was caught by Pant. Bumrah broke the 10-run stand.

Liam Livingstone, who faced eight balls, didn’t open his account. Fourteen balls later, Bumrah broke the nine-run stand.

The second Powerplay of England’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the 11th and the 40th over. They scored 80, and lost five wickets.

England scored 50 off 13.3 overs (81 balls). India had conceded eight extras at that point.

Moeen Ali, whose 18-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 14. Thirty-six balls after Livingstone’s dismissal, he was caught by Krishna, who broke the 27-run stand.

It was at that point that the drinks break was taken. Jos Buttler, England’s skipper, had scored 24.

Buttler, whose 32-ball innings included half-a-dozen balls, eventually scored 30. Four balls later, he was caught by Suryakumar Yadav. Shami broke the six-run stand.

Although his runs came by way of boundaries, Overton, who scored eight, had no reason to be in seventh heaven – a dozen balls later, Shami broke the nine-run stand.

England scored 100 off 21.4 overs (130 balls). India had conceded nine extras at that point. That was, incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded.

Carse, whose 26-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 15. Forty-one balls after Overton’s dismissal, Bumrah broke the 35-run stand.

Willey, whose 26-ball innings included three boundaries, scored 21. A dozen balls later, Bumrah had a reason to be in seventh heaven.

Although his runs came by way of a six, Reece Topley, who was unbeaten, had no reason to be in seventh heaven.

England were bundled out for 110 off 25.2 overs.

Chahal, who bowled a couple of overs, conceded 10. He was wicketless, as was Hardik, who bowled four overs, conceding 22.

Krishna, who bowled five overs, conceded 26. He picked up a wicket.

Shami, who bowled seven overs, conceded 31. He picked up three wickets.

Bumrah bowled 7.2 overs, including three maidens. He conceded 19, picking up half-a-dozen scalps.

The first Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the 10th over. They scored 56, without the loss of a wicket.

India’s openers put on 50 off 9.5 overs (59 balls). England had conceded three extras at that point. While Sharma’s contribution to the partnership was 34, Shikhar Dhawan’s contribution to it was 15.

The second Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the 11th and the 40th over. They scored.

Fifteen overs into the chase, England sought a bowling review. Sharma was the batsman. Using the umpires’ call, it was struck down by English umpire Alex Wharf.

Sharma’s half-century – which included half-a-dozen boundaries and three sixes – came off 49 balls.

Seventeen overs into the chase, the drinks break was taken. India had scored 97 without the loss of a wicket at that point. While Sharma had scored 66, Dhawan had scored 24.

India’s openers put on 100 off 17.5 overs (107 balls). The number of extras they had conceded at that point gave England no reason to be in seventh heaven. That was, incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded. While Sharma’s contribution to the partnership was 66, Shikhar Dhawan’s contribution to it was 27.

Sharma, whose 58-ball innings included seven boundaries and five sixes, eventually scored 76. He was unbeaten, as was Dhawan, who eventually scored 31 off 54 balls, which included four boundaries.

India, who scored 114 without the loss of a wicket off 18.4 overs, won by 10 wickets with 188 balls to spare.
