Jos Buttler has put England right in front in this clash. He has raced to 43 off just 17 balls. England have collected 57 runs in the first six over for the loss of just one wicket. Buttler singlehandedly taking the game away from India at this point. Hardik Pandya comes into the attack.

Jos Buttler is in top gear. This time he connects the reverse-sweep off Chahal and the ball races to the deep point fence. 50 comes up for England in just 5.2 overs.

Jos Buttler in counterattack mode. Takes on Shardul Thakur. Slams him for a couple of boundaries on the leg side.

An eventful first over from Yuzvendra Chahal. 14 runs including two sixes from it. But Chahal also managed to break the opening partnership with the wicket of Jason Roy. Shardul Thakur comes back into the attack.

Jason Roy goes for the fancy reverse sweep off Chahal but hits it straight to Rohit Sharma behind point. India get the opening breakthrough as dangerman Roy falls for 9. ENG 23/1

Slammed! Jus Buttler welcomes Yuzvendra Chahal into the attack with a massive 93-metre six over the long on fence. Charges down the track and deposits the ball into the empty stands. A humungous strike from Buttler. That came right from the middle of the bat.

Back-to-back boundaries for Jason Roy. This time he goes for the cheeky scoop on the leg side but the top edge takes it to the vacant third man region. A shot not intended there but Roy will take the boundary. ENG 16/0

Jason Roy steps down, nullifies the swing and slaps the ball straight down the ground to collect his first boundary of the innings. ENG 12/0

Huge appeal from the Indian camp as Shardul hits Jason Roy on the pads. Virat Kohli goes for the review. But replays and ball-tracking clearly show that the delivery was missing the leg-stump. Roy survives and India lose a review. England 7/0 after 2 overs

A good start from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Swung the ball both ways in his first over. Also almost got Jason Roy out trapped LBW. 3 runs off the final ball of his over. Shardul Thakur to share the new ball with Bhuvneshwar from the other end.

Jason Roy and Jos Buttler are out in the middle to start this 157-run chase for England. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the new ball in hand for India. Roy to face the first ball. A slip in place for Kumar. Here we go!

Skipper Virat Kohli played a quickfire 77-run unbeaten knock as India managed 156/6 against England in the third T20I in Ahmedabad. Put into bat after losing the toss, India once again got off to a horrendous start, losing the top order inside the powerplay overs. England pacers wreaked havoc as KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan departed cheaply inside the first six overs. Skipper Kohli and Rishabh Pant then tried to steady the Indian ship but an unfortunate run out sent Pant packing for 25. Shreyas Iyer too failed trying to accelerate scoring as regular wickets pushed India back on a tricky surface. But it was the 33-ball 70 run partnership between Kohli and Hardik Pandya that gave some life to the India innings. Kohli in the process, got to his 27th T20I fifty while Hardik (17) got out on the final ball of the innings.

OUT! Hardik goes for the big hit off the final ball of the innings but mistimes the ball. Jofra Archer runs back from mid-off and completes a good catch. Hardik's knock ends on 17. Virat Kohli remains unbeaten on 77. A 70-run partnership off just 33 balls takes India to 156/6 in 20 overs

FOUR! Chris Jordan this time goes wide outside off. Virat Kohli reaches for it and hits it over the extra-cover fielder. The ball also beats Jonny Bairstow at the fence as Kohli collects another boundary. India 153/5

Short outside off from Jordan and Hardik throws his bat at it. A 79-metre strike over the deep point fence. Hardik times the ball to perfection. Hits his second maximum of the match.

FOUR! A boundary to finish off the Jofra Archer final over of his spell. Once again short from Archer and Kohli was ready for it. Guides it over the keeper's head for a boundary. India collect 11 runs off the Archer over.

Hardik Pandya now joins the party. 50-run partnership comes up between him and Virat Kohli off just 25 balls. Short ball from Archer and Hardik slams it over the third man fence for a six.

Third consecutive boundary for the Indian skipper. He has taken Mark Wood to the cleaners. After hitting two back-to-back sixes, this time Kohli guides the ball to the third man region to pick up four runs. Wood has already leaked 17 runs in the over. India 131/5

Two maximums in two balls for the Indian skipper. He is taking on England's fastest bowler. Mark Wood under pressure. Back-to-back sixes and what a sight this is. The first one was in the mid-wicket region and the second straight down town. Class from Kohli as India get much-needed acceleration.
