England vs India , 1st T20I at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street , IND in ENG, 5 T20Is, 2026 , Jul 01, 2026 Scorecard

19.4: Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, SIX! THAT IS OUTTA HERE!

19.3: Sam Curran to Axar Patel, 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.

19.2: Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, Straight up the chimney, but PUT DOWN! Buttler shells a chance here. Don't know if the rain in the air played its part.

19.1: Sam Curran to Axar Patel, Slower one, full on off. Patel gets under it and carts it down to long off for a single.

18.6: Adil Rashid to Shivam Dube, 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.

18.5: Adil Rashid to Axar Patel, Short and outside off. Axar picks the googly and steers it wide of backward point for a single.

18.4: Adil Rashid to Harshit Rana, 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.

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

18.2: Adil Rashid to Shivam Dube, 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.

18.1: Adil Rashid to Shivam Dube, 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.

17.6: Saqib Mahmood to Harshit Rana, 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.

17.5: Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, 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.

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

17.3: Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, 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.

17.2: Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, 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.

17.1: Saqib Mahmood to Shivam Dube, Short of a length angled across from outside off. Dube pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.
