    It looks like England may fancy watching France v Morocco in an hour.

    It is brutal hitting.

    Sorry but India are dreadful. You’re meant to be world champions and yet they’re playing like a bunch of amateurs. They’ve got one mindset and when that even marginally falls apart, they are absolutely clueless.

  3. Eng 87-1

    Target 159

    Dot, four, six, four, four, single. Washington Sundar is wearing a look of desperation, Harry Brook is cruising.

    The required rate is now a run-a-ball. 72 from 72.

  4. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    That was short, but not everyone would have been able to hit that for six.

    I'm not sure how you bowl to this man.

    You might get him eventually when he tries something really elaborate.

  5. 6 runs

    Eng 78-1

    Harry Brook misses out on Washington Sundar's first delivery but he clobbers the second down the ground for four.

    He follows it with a swiped six into the leg-side. Brutal hitting.

  6. Eng 68-1

    Target 159

    Axar Patel, playing his 100th T20I, enters the attack. Harry Brook and Phil Salt tick another six runs off England's chase.

  7. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It is not the start that India wanted but England have batted really well.

    For India, it is all about wickets, but the problem is, England's batting line-up is very deep.

  8. WinViz has it 87-13 in England's favour against IndiaBBC Sport/CricViz

    Thanks Mike. Hello again!

    Here's how WinViz is looking at the end of the powerplay. England are the overwhelming favourites.

  9. How's stat?!

    Harry Brook thrives against high pace in T20 cricket, averaging 128 against balls delivered over 86.9mph (140kph).

    Target 159

    England are ahead of India after six overs in the fourth T20BBC Sport/CricViz

    Harry Brook drops into a crouch and ramps Prince Yadav for four.

    He skies the last delivery of the powerplay out to the same part of the field, but the ball drops clear of the fielder and England run two.

    The fielders drop back, England need 97 from 84 balls - here's Elizabeth Botcherby to take you through.

  11. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There is where India's bowlers need to learn from England's bowlers like Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue. If something is working for you then stick with it.

    I understand in India that you need to go to variations but here you are getting something out of the pitch, some kind of variate, so stick with it.

  12. Not out

    Eng 54-1

    Nah, a little high and wide of leg stump.

    A touch desperate from India?

    England ran a leg bye off that ball to move to 54 with four balls left in the powerplay.

  13. India review

    Prince Yadav fancies this!

    He strikes Phil Salt on the pad, and goes up with the lbw appeal.

    Nothing from the umpire, but Prince and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan convince skipper Shreyas Iyer to go for the review.

    Have to wonder now if Jos Buttler's illustrious career with England is coming to a close...

    Phil SaltGetty Images

    Young India batters need to learn from this Phil Salt innings and his previous innings at Trent Bridge.

    It doesn't matter if you're 10 off 10 balls because it is just a matter of a boundary or two, especially on these kind of surfaces.

  16. Eng 52-1

    Prasidh Krishna changes ends to replace Arshdeep Singh and Phil Salt dispatches his opening delivery for four over backward point.

    The seamer over-steps later in the over and Salt takes a big swing at the free-hit, top-edging over the keeper for another boundary.

    He adds another to end the over, driving cleanly through the covers.

    Having not scored off his first nine balls, Salt now has 26 off 19 with six fours.

  17. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Big difference in the plans of attack in the opening exchanges between these two sides.

    England bowled 70% short balls by this point in the innings, whereas India have been on average 2m fuller (5.5m avg length) than England (7.5m avg length).

    As a result, India have found noticeably more movement through the air (1.4° v 0.6°)

  18. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Phil Salt was late on it - the cue-end of the bat. It is extraordinary shot.

  19. Eng 36-1

    Having faced nine balls without scoring, Phil Salt gets off the mark with a four through cover.

    Prince Yadav has over-stepped too - an extra run on the total and bowling Salt with the follow-up delivery counts for nothing.

    Salt adds two more fours in the over, through third and straight down the ground.

  20. Nikesh Rughani
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    An entertaining entry for Harry Brook. He's gone dot, six, wide, two.

    There was a massive cheer when he came out. These white-ball fans know they're in for a treat if he sticks it out for 20 or 30 balls.
