Chris Jordan comes into the attack. He starts with a wide half-volley which Rohit drills through the covers for a four and then hammers the fourth ball down the ground for a six.

Jordan drops short and Rohit pulls it powerfully over fine leg region for another six as the opener races to 33 from 17 balls, having hit three sixes and as many fours.

Liam Plunkett comes into the attack as KL Rahul takes a single from the first ball before Rohit chips the next ball over the off-side for a four.

Rohit picks a single before Rahul carves it square on the off-side for a six and then takes one to get 13 from the over.

Ball comes back for a second spell. Rahul clubs a length delivery straight down the ground for a six but perishes off the very next delivery, attempting the same shot.

Rahul didn't get the distance as Jordan at mid-on ran back and to his right before judging it to perfection and has to dive at the end to complete a stunning catch.

Rahul walks back for 19 from 10 balls as India are reduced to 70 for two in six overs.

Rohit has got off to a quickfire start, smashing his way to 39 from 20 balls, while Virat Kohli has made seven from three balls.
