England has lost their first match under new white-ball captain Jos Buttler as Hardik Pandya inspired India to a dominant 50-run victory in the first Twenty20 at the Ageas Bowl.
After his side were set a challenging target of 199, Buttler was out for a first-ball duck, bowled by a Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Hardik then removed Dawid Malan for 21, Liam Livingstone for another duck and Jason Roy for a tortured four from 16 balls, all in his first seven deliveries.
England were 33-4 after 6.1 overs and could not recover as they were bowled out in the final over for 148.
The second match at Edgbaston is on Sunday before the finale 24 hours later at Trent Bridge.
