T20 World Cup, Group A
Scotland beaten by West Indies; Pakistan start with jittery win
And that’s all from us for the day.
Thanks for following along and it’s been quite the ride as hosts India, Pakistan and West Indies get the wins on the opening day of the T20 World Cup.
You can head over and read Matthew Henry’s match report for the full breakdown of the game.
We’ll be back again tomorrow, and it’s going to be a cracker with England in action. Don’t miss it!
We will have three more games on the second day of the T20 World Cup.
New Zealand and Afghanistan will kick us off nice and early in Chennai with a 5:30 GMT start here in the UK.
But the big one is of course England's opener against Nepal in Mumbai from 9:30.
Then in Colombo, co-hosts Sri Lanka will take on Ireland from 13:30.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav: "I was trying to bat this way the whole of last year, holding the innings for the time, but it wasn't happening. I spend a lot of time with the family and started again in the new year. And then we went to Nagpur, it was a different feeling altogether.
"I always felt there was a need for a batter to bat till the end. I felt it was a 140 wicket. Gautam Gambhir also told me to bat till the end during the drinks break. I have also played a lot of wickets in Mumbai and the grounds here, so I knew how to bat on these kind of wickets."

It was well deserved in the end and India will take great heart from the way they fought back from the position they found themselves in.
Suryakumar Yadav was outstanding with the way that he kept calm. They flexed their muscles in the second half of the game, they've got some great players to come back as well.
Shubham lbw Siraj 37 (USA 132-8)
India have got their title defence at the T20 World Cup off to a winning start as they defeat a valiant USA.
It wasn't straightforward for the hosts, but they reached there comfortably in the end.
Mohammed Siraj seals the victory by sending home Shubham Ranjane as USA fall 29 runs short.
31 needed off 2 balls
This has been absolutely hammered over the boundary by Shubham Ranjane to add more runs to USA's total.
But the celebrations have already begun in the stands as India are now two balls away from a winning start.
37 needed off 5 balls
Mohammed Siraj will bowl the final over of the innings.
And he gifts a boundary off his first ball as Shubham Ranjane sends him away to boundary.

Great to see Mohammad Mohsin out there for the USA. Such a nice chap - he was the pro at our local club and looked after and coached all the kids - proper gentleman.
Ian, Nottingham
41 needed off 6 balls
Shubham Ranjane keeps up the aggression but not quite the execution.
He miscues his shot in back-to-back deliveries but both times the ball falling safe from the reach of India fielders.
44 needed off 9 balls
But Shubham Ranjane is still out there in the middle.
And he is not one for giving up and blasts Hardik Pandya's full toss over deep mid wicket and into the stands.

It felt like the game was really gone when the partnership between Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Milind Kumar came to an end.
As soon as that happened it felt like any momentum went out of this run chase which is a real shame because at one point they would have had hopes of sending some India fans home really disappointed this evening.
51 needed off 12 balls

Just two overs remain, and with 51 runs still required, this chase is all but out of reach for the USA.
Mohsin c Tilak b Arshdeep 8 (USA 110-7)
Arshdeep Singh gets his second wicket as Mohammad Mohsin, having found the boundary off the previous ball, takes the aerial route but ends up in the hands of Tilak Varma at deep mid-wicket.
This contest is drifting to a close in a quiet whimper.

Fair play to the USA they really gave it a go but the quality of India is always going to show
Ben, Newcastle
58 needed off 18 balls
A miserly over from Hardik Pandya as the crowd are slowly filtering out of the Wankhede, already certain of the result.
It will need noting short of a miracle for USA to get the 58 runs needed off the final three overs.
62 needed off 24 balls
There's no hat-trick for Axar Patel this time.
But USA do get to three figures - still, at six wickets down, any realistic hope of an upset has quickly slipped away in Mumbai.
Harmeet c Siraj b Patel 0 (USA 98-6)
Axar Patel is on a hat-trick!
Harmeet Singh, who won the Under-19 World Cup with India back in 2012, is the new batter and he sweeps the first delivery straight into the hands of Mohammed Siraj.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe USA dressing room will be thinking about opportunities missed.
It felt as India ran away with that momentum and they have done that in the face of some degree of adversity in these conditions. They won't want to find themselves in this situation again.
Krishnamurthi c Rinku b Axar 37 (USA 98-5)
Axar Patel gets his wicket as Shubham Ranjane doesn't get the distance on a slog.
Rinku Singh gets under it and has a safe pair of hands to dismiss the USA batter.
64 needed off 30 balls
Shubham Ranjane gets low and muscles Varun Chakravarthy over long-on for a maximum.
Are USA starting to dream here? They need 64 runs from the final five overs.
