England off to a flying start after India fold for 153

England 67-1 (10 ovs) vs India 153 | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar from the other end and it remains to be seen if he gets some swing. Taylor pulls the second ball through the leg side for a couple to bring up England's 50, in the eight over. He then makes room and slaps one through the off-side for two more runs as England continue from where they left off before the break.

He then cuts a short ball which bounces over the point fielder for another couple but the next shot which is cut powerfully along the ground is well stopped by a diving Rahane at point.

England are 54 for one in eight overs with exactly 100 needed from 42 overs for victory.

Unlike England's pace bowlers, both Binny and Bhuvneshwar have not been able to make any sort of impression with the new ball.

Binny bowls it a bit wide and Bell is happy to crash it through the covers for a four followed by a single to race to 39.

Mohammed Shami comes into the attack, to bowl the 10th over of the innings. Bell takes a single from the second ball before Taylor pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four. The last ball is driven straight to mid-on but the fielder is unable to stop it cleanly and ends up giving away three runs.

England have raced to 67 for one in 10 overs with Bell on 40 from 30 balls and Taylor on 17 from 19 balls.
