Batting first, England got to a flying start with Bairstow and Jason Roy toying with Indian bowlers. Bairstow and Roy put up 160 runs in 22 overs, then a substitute fielder Ravindra Jadeja took a stunning catch to end the partnership. But Bairstow continued and hit a hundred.
In a tense-period of play, Kohli teased Bairstow by hinting the England batsman that he can still go a review. That happened in the 26th over after Hardik Pandya seemed to have induced a fine nick off Bairstow, with MS Dhoni claiming a catch.
