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

Mohammed Shami starts off with the ball in his first match for India in 14 months, with Phillip Salt on strike.

A huge roar as Shami charges into bowl. The first ball is back of length and stays a bit low as Salt throws his bat but is beaten by the lack of bounce.

The next ball is full as Salt slaps it straight back past the bowler for a boundary to get off the mark.

The third ball is again pitched up but swings a bit as the right-hander pushes it to the fielder at square leg and pushes the next on the off-side.

He clips the fifth ball to fine leg for a single and Ben Duckett flicks the last ball in the gap at midwicket for one to get off the mark.
