Shivam Dube has walked in to the crease and the all-rounder received quite the welcome from Jofra Archer with a bumpy bouncer. Ishan Kishan is still at the crease as India must get a move on if they are to achieve a target post-200.

Shreyas Iyer looked to finish the Liam Dawson over with a maximum but could not get the connection and ended up holding it in the hands of Tom Banton as England struck in the 13th over. Shreyas had to walk back for a well-made 37 as India lose their third.
Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are building up nicely as they eye a 200-plus score on this bouncy wicket. The Indian skipper was hit hard on his fingers by a bouncy ball from Tongue and the player had to receive treatment. IND's run-rate is close to 10 runs-per-over and with big-hitters yet to come, this is building nicely.
India have amassed 96 runs in the first ten overs of their innings with Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan steadying the ship after losing the openers. Both the experienced players are putting the bad balls away and pushing for ones and twos when necessary.
Shreyas Iyer has walked in to the crease as India look to carry on the momentum against the English bowling attack. The hosts have introduced spinners with Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid but the Indian batters have shown no mercy as they hit the bad balls away to the boundary.
What a vague end to the PP for India. After hammering three fours off Sam Curran's bowling, Abhishek received a full-toss and he hit it straight into the hands of Tom Banton who catches as easy as it goes.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's debut lasted mere 10 deliveries as the 15-year-old sensation was stumped off Will Jacks' bowling in the fifth over. The Indian batting prodigy tried to come down the crease but was beaten in flight and Jos Buttler made sure he cleaned up the stumps.
Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi have got going as they have amassed 41 runs in the first four overs. After quiet few deliveries, Abhishek hammered 20 runs off Josh Tongue's over as India look to up the ante against the hosts at Old Trafford.
India have not got a blazing start at Old Trafford with both batters being beaten by swing and pace from the English pacers. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did try to swing his bat but was beaten by Josh Tongue as India managed just 10 runs in the first two overs.
Stat - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, at the age of 15 years and 99 days, has achieved the distinction of being India's youngest international cricketer.

Additionally, Washington Sundar holds the title of India's youngest T20I debutant, having played at the age of 18 years and 80 days against Sri Lanka in 2017.
