India vs England LIVE Updates: Axar Patel has taken his first wicket of the day as he dismissed Jamie Overton for 2. England have lost their sixth wicket as their skipper Jos Buttler, who has completed his half-century, is fighting alone. He has now been joined by Gus Atkinson at the crease as six-down England look for a strong partnership. India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl against England in the first T20I of the five-match series against England in Kolkata. In a shocking turn of events, fit pacer Mohammed Shami, who was highly expected to play his first match for India after a long gap, was not named in the Playing XI. Before the toss, visuals showed Shami bowling in the nets but still he was not chosen as Arshdeep Singh will be leading India's pace attack. (Live Scorecard)

It's a great ground, it's an honour to play against India in these conditions. Everyone is in a good spot. It's nice to be together, a lot to look forward to. McCullum taking charge, he has a lot of experience. It's going to be a challenge, we are right up for it. There is some incredible talent in both sides.

- 18:29 (IST)IND vs ENG 1st T20I, Live: Pitch report"The six-hitting festival starts today here at this iconic Eden Gardens Stadium. The average sixes hit in the last two years is 10 per innings in a T20 game. Dimensions - 59m and 66m square, straight down the ground is 75m. There's a nice tinge of green, not overly green and I don't think it's going to do a whole lot but it'll do enough. It'll carry a little bit as well. The tall England bowlers will get a little bit out of the surface. Generally this is a high-scoring venue. There'll be a lot of runs scored here. More carry and pace on this surface."
