Ishan Kishan will be so disappointed by that. He tried to wallop it but Milind Kumar takes an excellent catch.
Kishan c Kumar b van Schalkwyk 20 (Ind 45-2)
Milind Kumar manages to hold on this time and Shadley van Schalkwyk gets his wicket.
Ishan Kishan throws the kitchen sink at one from Van Schalkwyk outside off stump but the India wicketkeeper-batter is foiled by the soft hands of Kumar who pouches it in the breadbasket.
Salt rubbed into the wound for Ali Khan.
Ishan Kishan thwacks the USA seamer through the covers for four then whips it over the mid-wicket boundary for six.

That's such a shame for the USA. It's hit hard and firm but it's chest height. The fielder would have expected to catch that, you can't give India too many opportunities like that.
USA will surely pay the price for these dropped catches.
Ishan Kishan drives Ali Khan on the up to backward point but it pops in and out of Shubham Ranjane's hands.
That's a bread-and-butter chance. Khan is fuming.
Shadley van Schalkwyk into the attack for USA.
Try saying that with the voice of the late great Sir Sean Connery.
Tilak Varma gives him the old heave ho over mid-wicket for four.
Final ball of the over from Van Schalkwyk and it's hammered straight back at him from Varma but the USA seamer spills a tough caught-and-bowled opportunity.

The depth that India have is just crazy so the batters at the top of the order can bat with complete freedom so it moves that marker of what you think a par score is.
Kerpow!
Tilak Varma manages to lump Saurabh Netravalkar over the head of the fielder at mid-on to pick up four more.
Deft from Tilak Varma, who clips Saurabh Netravalkar off his pads for four.

It didn't feel like Tilak Varma got in on the first instance. He had to reach for the ball, so it's not a clean connection, but it's clear of the rope by a distance.
Tilak Varma dances down the pitch to Saurabh Netravalkar.
It's not come out of the meat of the bat and goes very high, but has just enough legs on it to get over the rope.
Excellent start from Ali Khan, who touched 90mph in that over, and USA overall.
Tilak Varma the new batter for India.

Abhishek Sharma is tipped to have a big tournament but he is gone.
Sharma c Krishnamurthi b Ali Khan 0 (Ind 7-1)
The in-form Abhishek Sharma is out to the first ball he faces! Silence descends on the crowd in Mumbai.
A slap of the back foot from Sharma off Ali Khan and he picks out boundary rider Sanjay Krishnamurthi at deep cover, who takes the catch.
Khan holds his arms out in a 'why always me?' Mario Balotelli-esque manner.
India star Sharma out first ball against USA

Ishan Kishan is down on one knee and heaves the USA seamer, and software engineer, over the ropes for six.

It's great bowling from Saurabh Netravalkar, holding his length and mixing it up. That's a bit of pressure for India now.
Ishan Kishan with a couple of big wafts but USA are tight in the field and Mumbai-born Saurabh Netravalkar starts with four dots.
Saurabh Netravalkar will bowl the first over for USA.
He catapulted himself into the spotlight with his heroics in USA's shock win over Pakistan in Dallas two years ago.
Ishan Kishan is on strike for India.

You do think USA's best chance of victory today is to get early wickets and put the pressure on India.
