That's It! Tilak Varma gets one trickled down the fine leg and that's the end of the match. A dismal batting performance from England and Varun Chakravarthy cleaned them up in no time. Jos Buttler remained the lone warrior. Chasing it, Sanju Samson gave India a solid start and Abhishek Sharma's blazing knock sealed the game for the hosts. India go up 1-0 in the series with visitors having a lot to think.

Out! Abhishek Sharma departs after a fiery innings. He tried to finish off things alone but miscues on straight in the hands of long on. Abhishek has completely dominated the England bowlers and took India to the brink of victory in a flash. Abhishek Sharma c Brook b Adil Rashid 79(34).

22 Jan, 21:50 (IST)

Abhishek Sharma has been in sensational form and he has completely dismantled Gus Atkinson once again. He has shown both his power and touch and with it India are now nearing a dominant victory. They have barely broken sweat throughout the match and it is likely to stay that way. 

22 Jan, 21:37 (IST)

Abhishek Sharma is on a roll here. He has not looked troubled at all against both pace and spin and here he has brought up his half-century in just 20 balls after depositing Jamie Overton in the stands over square leg. The match is looking to end quickly. 

22 Jan, 21:35 (IST)

Abhishek Sharma has found his rhythm and has been looking to charge at the England bowlers. Adil Rashid started his over well and made one chance but dropped it off his own bowling. Abhishek capitalised on it as he struck back-to-back sixes to Rashid. 

22 Jan, 21:25 (IST)

Oh Abhishek Sharma has joined the party. He targeted Mark Wood who was coming out of a good over and completely dismantled him all over the park taking 18 from the over. India has covered half the way and they are well on course. 

22 Jan, 21:20 (IST)

Out! Gus Atkinson comes back strong in the second over. Backs his strength of bowling the hard length and first Sanju Samson mistimes the pull in the hands of deep mid wicket and then Suryakumar Yadav gets top edge on a pull shot. India stil well ahead. Samson c Atkinson b Jofra Archer 26(20) and Suryakumar Yadav c Philip Salt b Jofra Archer 0(3).

22 Jan, 21:02 (IST)

Despite a quite first over, Sanju Samson has teed off pretty quickly in the second over and absolutely dismantled Gus Atkinson scalping 22 runs from his over. That's a solid start for India upfront given they are chasing only 133. 

22 Jan, 20:41 (IST)

Out! Sanju Samson nails the underarm throw at the strikers end and that will be the end of the England innings. It has been a lot of struggle for them except for Jos Buttler who has scored 50% of the team runs single handedly. The pitch has looked tacky but the dew will come on and England seamers will have a job in hand. Mark Wood run out (Samson) 1(1).

22 Jan, 20:37 (IST)

Out! Jofra Archer departs. Hardik Pandya sticks to the plan of length outside off and Jofra had to fetch for it. Gets a top edge and captain Suryakumar Yadav accepts a dolly at extra cover. Jofra Archer c Suryakumar Yadav b Hardik Pandya 12(10).
