India 92-3 (20 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

No signs of spin yet from England as pacer Ball continues. Yuvraj looks to pull but misses before he gets an edge two balls later which goes to the right of the wicketkeeper for a four and he keeps strike with one from the last ball.

England make a change in the bowling as Ben Stokes replaces Plunkett, who bowled three overs for 17 runs.

Yuvraj plays away from his body, driving it uppishly to thirdman for a single to bring up the 50-run stand from 69 balls.

Yuvraj looked in supreme touch as he punches Stokes straight down the ground for another gorgeous boundary past the bowler and mid-off as he takes his score to 40 from 43 balls, having hit eight fours so far.

England introduce spin as off-spinner Moeen Ali comes in to bowl the 18th over. Yuvraj chips down the track and flicks it along the ground to deep midwicket for two runs before taking one followed by two more singles to make it five runs from the over.

England are looking to dry up the boundaries and build the pressure but Dhoni and Yuvraj are content to milk the bowlers and deal in ones and twos at the moment.

India continue their recovery as they reach 92 for three in 20 overs, with Yuvraj on 47 from 54 balls and Dhoni on 21 from 41 balls.
