Abhishek Sharma: "I wanted to express myself, special mention to captain and coach, the freedom they have given us as youngsters is tremendous. It was sticking a bit, double-paced, but the way our bowlers bowled was good, thought we'd chase 160-170. Sanju and I talk as partners, I enjoy at the other end. When I came for the first time in the India team, my plan was simple, play like I played in IPL. But never seen an environement like this, express yourself, hit your shots, even from the first ball. I practice my trigger movements before the match, I knew they'd bowl short and check my patience."

Varun Chakaravarthy removed Brook and Livingstone in the middle overs, Bishnoi bowled a tight spell, Axar came back well with a couple of wickets after an expensive first over. Jos Buttler top-scored with a 44-ball 68 but none of his team-mates supported him with the bat. In reply, India came out all guns blazing as England tried to attack with pace. Samson got off the blocks quickly and so did his opening partner Abhishek Sharma. The former was nipped out by Archer who also dismissed SKY in the same over.

The left-handed opener hit sixes for fun and 68 out of his 79 runs came in boundaries (8 sixes and 5 fours). England were below-par with the bat and their bowlers were blown away
