IND vs England, 1st T20I: Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for a duck (X)
Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for a three-ball duck in the first T20I of the five-match series, between India and England, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
Jofra Archer sent back the Indian skipper without a run after dismissing Sanju Samson in the same over.
On the fifth ball of the fifth over, Jofra Archer took pace off the bouncer and and banged it in well short around middle as Suryakumar Yadav got across, only for him to get cramped for room while looking to pull. The ball skied up off the top edge wide of the keeper and around short fine leg but Archer started celebrating. Phil Salt did well to run after it and completed the catch to justify the bowler’s celebrtions.
On the second ball of the fifth over, Jofra Archer sent Sanju Samson packing with a well-directed short ball on off and middle with the ball angling in around head height. Samson picked up the length early and looked to pull off the back foot but was hurried into the shot. He eventually hit it right of deep mid-wicket as Gus Atkinson moved across to take the catch low to his right.

Earlier, England skipper Jos Buttler played a lone hand with his 68 as India bowled out the tourists for 132. Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh removed both openers early and spinner Varun Chakravarthy claimed three wickets after India elected to field first in Kolkata.
Phil Salt fell for a duck on the third ball of the match, with a leading edge off his bat sending the ball high and into the gloves of wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.
Arshdeep dismissed Ben Duckett for four in the third over, with Rinku Singh taking a stunning backward running catch from the covers.
Buttler hit back with four boundaries off Hardik Pandya as he attempted to rebuild in a 48-run third-wicket partnership with his new deputy Harry Brook, who scored 17.
Chakravarthy bowled Brook with a googly and sent back Liam Livingstone for a duck as the ball darted into the stumps once again.
Buttler reached his fifty in 34 balls but wickets kept tumbling and in an attempt to push the scoring the skipper finally fell to Chakravarthy the ball after hitting the bowler for six.
Arshdeep, Axar Patel and Pandya took two wickets each and a run out from the last ball saw England all out in 20 overs.
