The banter between England's Barmy Army and India's Bharat Army is getting intense as the match between the two nations is evenly balanced at the moment in Lucknow.
The banter started with the Barmy Amry posting a picture of Virat Kohli's head on a duck after the former India captain got out without scoring a run during India's innings.
It was Kohli's first duck in ODI World Cup history and 34th overall in international cricket. He was sent back by David Willey in the 7th over after facing 9 balls at the Ekana Stadium.
The Bharat Army then had their chance to hit back at the English support group when Joe Root got out for a golden duck during England's run chase.
Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood for India with the wicket of Dawid Malan and followed it up by trapping Root LBW in the very next ball of the 5th over.
That was followed by Ben Stokes's head on a duck after the former England captain was castled by Mohammed Shami in the 8th over.
