India vs England Second T20 LIVE commentary: UK start time, line-ups and scorecard as visitors look to bounce back

England will look to bounce back from their opening T20 defeat to India this weekend when they meet in Chennai, live on talkSPORT 2.

The first match in Kolkata ended in an embarrassing result for the tourists, who were all out for 132 before the hosts easily reached that score in under 13 overs.

This was the start of Brendon McCullum‘s reign as England‘s white-ball coach, and it couldn’t have been much worse.

The only batters to score double figures were Jos Buttler (68) and Harry Brook (17).

Apart from that, the rest of the team offered nothing, making the chase easy for India on a high-scoring ground.

But in a T20 series, the games come thick and fast, and the next one is just around the corner.

Archer is looking sharp

India vs England second T20: What has been said?

England captain Buttler was disappointed with his team’s batting.

Speaking after the match, he said: “There was a little bit in the wicket early on and we probably didn’t expect that.

“I thought they found a bit of movement early on and if you come through that, it is a good scoring pitch and fast ground here.

“You want to enforce the game you want to play and we weren’t quite capable of doing that today.

“We are better for the run out and we are looking forward to the next one.”
