England 134-4 (25 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Pandya, who went for runs in his first two overs, comes back well. He gives away just three singles in his third over.

Meanwhile, Chahal continues to keep it tight, conceding just a single with Stokes playing five dot balls in a row before taking one from the last ball.

Stokes finally gets his first boundary of the innings, off the 39th ball he faced, as he drills a short ball through the covers from Pandya for a four.

In the next over, Stokes hits Chahal for a boundary as he drops short through the off-side as England look to force a move on.

Buttler also gets a boundary in the following over as he gets a thick outside edge for a four past the wicketkeeper.

He hits another boundary through the covers off the fifth ball as England rally to 134 for four in 25 overs at the halfway mark.

Stokes has been cautious, scoring 18 from 43 balls, while Buttler has raced to 15 from 11 balls.
