India v England second T20i – England look to bounce back in Chennai following heavy defeat in series opener

India makes another bowling change, bringing on Varun Chakravarthy to bowl more spin.

Chakravarthy’s first delivery results in a strong lbw appeal as it hits Buttler on the pad, but the umpire denies it.

Ravi Bishnoi enters the attack, and Buttler welcomes him by launching a massive six down the ground to bring England past 50.

The rest of the over is played more cautiously, yielding 11 runs in total. The powerplay wraps up evenly balanced overall.

Brook is back with a bang.

Axar Patel enters the attack, but England’s star batter makes an immediate impact, smashing a six straight down the ground.

He follows it up with a beautifully driven four through the off-side. For the first time in this match and series, England could have India under pressure.

Buttler seems unfazed and smashes Washington over mid-wicket for another 6.

A diving effort on the boundary falls short as the ball powers through.

England’s momentum is short-lived.

Duckett attempts a reverse sweep off Washington Sundar’s first ball, but it clips his pad and lobs into the air.

Dhruv Jurel takes a simple catch, with both of India’s replacements combining for the wicket.

Buttler turns up the heat, smashing a short ball from Singh into the leg side for four.

He follows it with a flat-batted drive down the ground for two, narrowly avoiding a catch.

Then, he launches a full slower delivery for the first six of the innings and caps off the over with a stunning cut through the covers for another four. A game-changing over puts England back in contention.

Duckett is good to continue and takes a single off the next ball, giving himself a moment to regroup.

Buttler, England’s standout performer with 68 runs in the first match, starts cautiously but attempts a big hit on the final delivery.

He only manages a faint connection, and the ball dribbles into the leg side for a single to close the over. India keeps control, conceding just two runs in this one.

Buttler opens his account with a single nudged into the leg side on his first ball.

Duckett follows up with a run of his own to close out the first over. India will be thrilled with how things have begun.

Phil Salt’s struggles continue as he falls cheaply again.

After managing just four runs from four balls, he attempts a hook off Arshdeep Singh’s short, wide delivery.

The ball soars into the sky, landing straight into Washington Sundar’s hands at square leg with ease.
