इंग्लैंड vs भारत, पहला टी20, रिवरसाइड ग्राउंड, चेस्टर-ली-स्ट्रीट, 01 July 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

Flatter and fuller, on middle. Shivam Dube leans on and clips it along the turf to long on for an easy run.

FIFTY FOR IYER! Certainly a captain's innings from Shreyas Iyer. Fuller delivery, on off, Shreyas Iyer drives it to long off for a single and gets to his first half-century as the skipper of India. Overall, this is his 9th T20I fifty and he gets there in 38 balls. A very well-constructed knock and he will look to bat through the innings.

A touch short and around off. Dube stands tall and swats it over the mid-wicket fielder. Jordan Cox runs to his right from deep square leg and tidies it up. Just a single.

 FOUR! Crunched away! Short around off, Shreyas Iyer presses back and punches it hard through the point region. Jordan Cox runs and dives to his left to cut it off, but the ball deflects off the hand and seeps through to the fence.

Fuller on off, Shreyas Iyer sensibly drives it to long on for a single.

Much fuller, wide outside off, Shivam Dube lunges forward and extends his arms to slap it away. The ball connects with the toe end of the bat and loops toward the deep cover region. Jacob Bethell rushes to his right to collect the ball and the batter gets a brace.

Slower full ball, on middle. Shreyas Iyer gets across to flick it to the leg side, but closes the bat early. Gets a leading edge and the ball rolls past cover for a single.

Short and at pace, outside off. Dube stands tall and powerfully pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Almost a yorker, on off. Iyer gets under the ball and chips it on the bounce to deep mid-wicket for another run. So far, so good from Wood. Just 3 off the first three balls.

 FOUR! Not well timed, but it's in the gap! Highly likely a slower ball, on a good length, on middle and leg. Shivam Dube mistimes the pull shot off the inner half, and finds the gap at long leg for a boundary.

Fires in a full ball, on middle, Shivam Dube clips it down to widish long on for an easy run.

 SIX! Wowza, shot of the match so far! A long half-volley from Wood, outside the off stump. Shreyas Iyer leans onto it completely with a big stride ahead and launches it inside out over the deep extra cover fence, just about clearing the ropes for half a dozen runs. 3 from the first three balls, 11 from the next three. 14 runs from the over.

Dishes out a full ball, on leg. Shivam Dube advances down the track but has no room and flicks it to mid-wicket.

 SIX! That has been carted down the ground! Serves up a juicy half-volley on the stumps. Dube shimmies down the track and hammers it over the bowler's head and clears the ropes with absolute ease for a six. 150 up for India!

Just in! Adil spots Dube advancing and fires in the googly, dragging it short and outside off. Dube looks to mow it over mid-wicket but has no idea about the wrong'un and is beaten all ends up. Buttler has to stretch to his left to collect and dislodge the stumps and that extra bit of a second gives Dube just enough time to drag his bat in.

Short and wide outside off. This is punched off the back foot to long off for a single.

Darts on the pads, Shreyas Iyer looks to whip it over square leg, but misses as the ball dips and deflects it to backward square leg for a leg bye.

Slowish googly on a length, around off. Dube taps it along the ground to deep extra cover for a single.

Short of a length angled across from outside off. Dube pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

 FOUR! Glorious shot! Slower bumper on the stumps, angling across. Iyer picks the length early, gets into a good position before pulling into the deepest pocket at deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Good length ball, angling back on the pads. Shreyas flicks off the inner part of the bat to the fine leg region for a run.

Sharp short ball at 130 kph, Dube swivels and badly mistimes the pull shot to deep mid-wicket for a single.

OUT! LBW! Number 3 for Mahmood as he fishes out the Indian skipper. Saqib fires in a full ball that tails in late, to the leg stump. Shreyas Iyer gets a bit across to play the pick-up shot over mid-wicket, but misses and is hit on the front pad. Given LBW on a confident appeal, but Iyer has opted for a review to challenge the on-field decision. UltraEdge comes up with a flat line and Ball Tracking shows the ball crashing into the leg stump. India lose a review and more importantly, their captain who was looking increasingly dangerous. India are 165/5.

 BEATEN! Back of a length, around off and jagging back in very sharply off the surface. Harshit is cut in half as he dangles the bat away from the body to punch it to the off side. The ball beats the inside edge and bounces back to the keeper. 4-0-33-3 for Saqib Mahmood. FYI, he went for 21 runs in one of his overs, but has made a solid comeback since.

Pushed through, full on the pads. Shivam Dube gets down to slog it aerially, but gets undone by the flight and dip. Hits it off the inner half and the ball squirts away through mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

 SIX! In the range and out of the park! A bit quicker from Rashid this time around, full on leg. Shivam Dube clears the front leg and whips it ruthlessly and just manages to clear the deep mid-wicket fence.

Short and on leg, Shivam Dube hangs back and drags it across to deep mid-wicket for a single.

OUT! STUMPED! Deception at its very best from Rashid and he gets the reward for it. Good length googly on leg stump. Rana steps out and looks to swing across the line, getting crouched in the process. He misses to connect and throws himself back into the crease but Buttler collects the ball cleanly close to the leg stump and whips the bails off in one sharp motion. A stumping check as the decision is sent to the third umpire and it confirms that Harshit's bat is in the air as the stumps are broken by the keeper. India are 174/6.

Short and outside off. Axar picks the googly and steers it wide of backward point for a single.

 FOUR! Through the gap! Such a lovely shot from Dube. An in-dipper from Rashid, outside off, full in length. Shivam Dube reaches out in front and carves it hard and manages to split the long off and deep cover fielders for a boundary. 14 runs from the penultimate over. 1/39 off 4 overs for Adil as he completes his spell.

Slower one, full on off. Patel gets under it and carts it down to long off for a single.

 Straight up the chimney, but PUT DOWN! Buttler shells a chance here. Don't know if the rain in the air played its part. Sam slips in a full toss just below waist height, slower one too. Dube doesn't pick the change of pace and swings hard across the line, gets a thick top edge that balloons away towards backward square leg. Buttler calls for it and he is a bit slow to charge at first as he tries to spot the ball through the slate grey sky. Eventually sprints to his right, gets a dive in and even gets a glove to it, but it pops out.

Short and following the batter on the leg stump. Axar shuffles to the leg side and is cramped up for space. Can only heave it wide of long on for a single. Axar looks for the second, but Dube sends him back in time.

 SIX! THAT IS OUTTA HERE! Brute force from Dube and he is playing a gem of a knock. Moves to 41 off just 20 balls. Short from Sam on top of off. Shivam Dube picks the slower one and mercilessly pulls it high and handsomely over deep square leg for a mammoth six.

Slower and wider outside off, too full. Dube carves it to long off for a single.

OUT! AXAR PATEL IS RUN OUT! But what happened there? Curran rolls his fingers on the ball and bowls at 108 kph. It is on a good length and wide of off stump. Axar lets it through to the keeper, thinking it will be a wide, but there is a mix-up in the middle immediately. Dube sets off for a bye, but Axar goes nowhere and then suddenly changes his mind and starts running. Buttler's underarm throw at the batting end goes astray, but Curran is alert, swoops onto the ball on the pitch, runs back to the bowling end and whips the bails off with Axar miles out of his ground. INDIA FINISH ON 189/7! 10 runs from the final over.
