India 59-1 (6 ovs) vs England

Part-time medium pacer Luke Wright comes into the attack now, with one over of Powerplay still to go.

Kohli drives the first ball through the covers for a four to start the over in the right ernest. Two balls later Wright oversteps to give a no-ball which Kohli taps on the leg side for two before despatching the free hit delivery through midwicket for a four.

The right-hander then flicks it through square leg for another four and Morgan's misfield at the covers gives India another boundary.

Wright has been hit for 20 runs in that over as India race to 59 for one after six overs.

India have smashed 35 runs from the last two overs with Kohli and Gambhir adding 50 runs for the second in a mere 25 balls.

Kohli has blasted his way to 37 from 18 balls, with the help of seven fours, while Gambhir is playing steadily for 10 from 14 balls.
