England's heaviest defeats in terms of balls remaining in T20Is: Not making excuses but lots of Indian mis-hits have landed safely so the score might have been less one sided had we been luckier in that regard. A top-edge pull from Tilak Varma off Mark Wood flies past Phil Salt. India have won by seven wickets with a whopping 43 balls to spare.

India won the toss and chose to bowl first in the series-opening T20 against England's cricketers in Kolkata on Wednesday. Mohammed Shami missed out for India despite the fast bowler being available after more than a year on the sidelines.
