India vs England, 1st T20I Highlights: Jofra Archer, Jason Roy shine as England hammer India by 8 wickets

Jofra Archer has been named the player of the match for his impressive figures of 4-1-23-3.

Eoin Morgan | England captain: That was certainly the intention. Jofra can bowl fast but Mark Wood can bowl super fast. The wicket was as expected. The plans were very basic - to bowl on a length and straight. There is a huge amount of competition within side and it is a huge boost for anyone scoring runs. It is a completely different format of the game. We have been on tours, where the white-ball guys have played first and not played well and likewise. He (Wood) is excellent, like our batting unit our bowling unit has competition for places. We will be up against it a lot of times and it is important to produce your best.

Virat Kohli | India captain: We just weren't aware enough of what to do on that kind of pitch. Lack of execution of some of the shots. We have to come back with much more intent and clarity of plan. The wicket did not allow you to play the kind of shots you wanted to. It was a below par batting performance and England made us pay. We looked to try few things but as a batting side you have to accept that we didn't bat well. Shreyas batted well but we did not have enough runs on the board. It is part of a journey of international cricket. You will have your ups and down but you have to back your game. For me it is about going out there and be positive. We take a lot of pride in playing good white-ball cricket, we have won the previous series and the series before that. We just have these five games before the T20 World Cup, so we need to experiment but having said that, we have to ensure we don't take things lightly.

SIXX!!! Dawid Malan hits the winning shot as England thrash India by 8 wickets and take 1-0 lead in the 5-T20I series. Clinical show from the tourists tonight.

SIX!! Yuzvendra Chahal is welcomed by Jonny Bairstow with a maximum over long-on.

Wicket! Washington Sundar comes into the attack and immediately gets a wicket as he traps Jason Roy in front for 49. The batsman goes upstairs but in vain. England - 89/2 in 11.1 overs.

Four! Another poor delivery from Hardik and Malan gave the treatment it needed, gets a boundary towards fine leg.

Four! Wayward delivery from Hardik Pandya and Dawid Malan guides it towards the fine-leg boundary to get off the mark.

Wicket! Jos Buttler (28) is trapped in front by Yuzi Chahal with a straight one. First wicket for the Indians but is it already too late? England - 72/1 in 8 overs.

Rishabh Pant chuckles rather than says Howzat when he appeals.....Jos Buttler has gone but this is an emphatic reply by England. They are 72-1 after eight overs and motoring towards the finishing line....

4,6! Jason Roy is only dealing in fours and sixes. He hits Chahal for back-to-back deliveries.

Four! A boundary for Buttler on the final ball of the powerplay over bowled by Bhuvneshwar and England reach 50/0 after 6 overs. Superb start for the visitors in the run chase.

Superrbbbbb Fielding from KL!! Rahul saves four runs for his team as he throws the ball just in time inside the field after catching it as he was going to fall outside the boundary.

Four! A boundary for Jason Roy to end the over from Shardul Thakur and England reach 29/0 after 4 overs. Excellent start for the tourists in the below-par run chase.

Shardul Thakur is the fourth bowler to be brought into the attack by Kohli.

11 runs came from that over bowled by Chahal and England reach 21/0 after 3 overs. 3 overs and 3 different bowlers from India skipper so far.

SIX!! Virat Kohli introduces Yuzvendra Chahal into the attack and Jason Roy welcomes him with a boundary over long-on.

Four! Roy pulls Bhuvneshwar and gets a boundary. He's cleared his intention with that shot about how English batsmen are going to play tonight.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is brought into the attack and Jason Roy gets an aerial shot but thankfully it landed in no man's land.

End of the 1st over and England reach 3/0! Both Jason Roy and Jos Buttler have got off-the-mark.

2nd innings! Jason Roy and Jos Buttler are into the middle to open innings for England in run chase of 125. Axar Patel starts the proceedings with the ball for the hosts.

Indian batsmen tonight: Shreyas Iyer 67 off 48 balls, 8 fours, 1 six, SR 139.58. All others: 55 off 72 balls 4 fours, 2 sixes, SR 76.38.

End of the innings! India could only post a below-par 124/7 in 20 overs, a terrific bowling performance from the English. Shreyas Iyer was the lone positive for the hosts.

Four! Axar Patel gets a boundary towards third man region off Jordan, these are vital runs for the hosts.

Wicket! Shreyas Iyer (67) pulls Jordan but Dawid Malan takes a splendid catch in the deep to bring an end to a fine knock. The lone battle from Delhi Capitals' captain comes to an end. India - 117/7.

A crucial innings from Shreyas Iyer comes to an end. Given his preference for facing spin, the fact he only faced 5 deliveries from spin in the entire innings - and still made a top contribution - shows impressive versatility. #INDvENG
