England 6-0 (1 ov) vs India | Scorecard

Mohammed Shami will open the bowling for India, while Ben Duckett and Phil Salt are the two openers for England.

Left-hander Duckett gets a thick outside edge off the next for one towards thirdman.

Salt blocks the next two balls before he is beaten trying to cut as the ball stays quite low.

He smashes the last ball uppishly over the off-side for a boundary.
