Opinions were divided on whether India would beat England at Trent Bridge, but almost everyone had agreed on an evenly matched, intense, high-scoring contest. In fact, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow blazed away to a 73-run stand in 62 balls. Then Kuldeep Yadav (6 for 25) took 3 wickets in 10 balls, and England were suddenly 105 for 4. There was dogged resistance from Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, but 268 was never going to challenge a strong Indian order on a placid pitch. Shikhar Dhawan got them off to the start they needed before Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli calmly batted England out of the contest.

All in all, we probably have a very high-scoring contest on our hands!
