India would be pleased with the way their batsmen played and even on a day when bowlers were taken for a hit, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin turned up with impressive performances.

Batting first, England scored 188/5 and India chased down with one over to spare, courtesy of KL Rahul (51), Ishan Kishan (70) and finishing touches by Rishabh Pant (29*) and Hardik Pandya (12*).
