England suffered a chastening seven-wicket defeat by a resurgent India in the second Twenty20 in Ahmedabad.
After overpowering the hosts in the series opener, England put in a timid performance on a slow pitch.
Asked to bat first, they were gradually stifled after Jason Roy was dismissed for 46, their 164-6 nothing better than par.
It was put into context by a swashbuckling 32-ball 56 on debut by Ishan Kishan, who survived giving a simple chance to Ben Stokes at long-on on 40 – a mistake that typified England’s sloppy display.
Kishan added 94 with India captain Virat Kohli, whose unbeaten 73 off 49 balls also included an escape when he gave a tough chance down the leg side to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler on 10.
The composed Kohli pulled a six to take India to their target with 13 balls to spare, levelling the series before Tuesday’s third match at the same venue.
