That's a decent total posted by India having been put in to bat first by Buttler. It was a failure for Virat Kohli once again, while Rishabh Pant batting at number 3 couldn't add anything substantial either. And just when India were in a spot of bother, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar joined hands and had a pivotal partnership for the third wicket. In between there was also a 75-minute delay due to rain, but the two batters assessed the conditions and mixed caution with aggression before and after the break. Rohit scored a fifty before departing while Suryakumar unfortunately missed out on his half-century by three runs, but the two batters played a crucial part and executed their plans.Rashid and Livingstone - both the England spinners bowled economical spells in the middle overs, but Hardik Pandya played a cameo before Jordan dismissed him in the 18th over. Dube was out for a golden duck, while Jadeja added some handy runs towards the end overs to take India over the 170-run mark. England chased down a similar target in the previous T20 World Cup within 16 overs and won by 10 wickets, but this pitch is not that easy to bat on. What does the second essay have in store for us?
