B'desh 31-1 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

We have a very light drizzle in Birmingham but the umpires are happy to let the play continue. Bumrah from around the wicket drifts on the pads as Tamim misses the flick but picks up a leg bye.

Sabbir continues his attacking approach as he chips down again, lofting Bumrah over mid-off for his fourth boundary to race to 19 from 12 balls.

The boundaries continue to flow. Tamim looks to flick Bhuvneshwar through the leg side but gets a leading edge which flies past the second slip fielder for a four.

Tamim taps the next ball on the leg side and steals a quick single and captain Kohli is unhappy with the fielder Rohit for being too slow and letting them take the run.

Finally a bouncer as Bhuvi tests Sabbir but is he happy to duck under it and comes down the last ball and looks to swing at the short ball but misses.

India look to get normalcy back in the proceedings, hoping to bowl a few tight overs and stop the flow of boundaries.

Bumrah does well to send down a maiden to Tamim, who is content to defend while Sabbir attacks from the other end.
