Beaten on multiple occasions, Roy charges down to hit Shami off his length

It has been a cautious start from England for the first few overs but Jason Roy has had enough of playing and missing. He gets a lucky boundary against Mohammed Shami and then charges down the track to swipe a six one ball later. England are off and running, finally.

Earlier, India opted to field first with Virat Kohli regaining fitness to walk into the XI.

England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w/c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Craig Overton, David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna
