India 122-1 (18 ovs) vs England 268 | Scorecard
India keep the boundaries coming as England's bowlers look totally clueless on a good batting wicket.
This time Plunkett is hit for a four off the last ball as he drifts down the leg side and Kohli manages to glance it fine as the duo raise the 50-run stand for the second wicket.
In the next over, Kohli cuts a short ball from Rashid for a couple as Bairstow does well with a dive near the ropes.
He nearly drags the next ball back on to his stumps as the ball passes close to the stumps after he defends it before he keeps strike with one from the last ball.
Stokes comes back into the attack. Kohli plays another splendid cover drive for a four as he takes full toll off a wide half volley. The next ball is short as Kohli pulls it to deep midwicket for a couple as the flow of runs continue.
India are well placed on 122 for one in 18 overs, with Rohit on 45 from 47 balls and Kohli racing to 36 from 34 balls.
They need another 147 runs from 32 overs for victory at just over 4.5 per over.
