Player of the Match

Hardik Pandya

51(33)&4/33(4)

Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. India have taken an early lead in this series and have an opportunity to take an unassailable lead here. These two sides will meet again on 9th July 2022. The first ball will be at 1900 IST (1330 GMT). But as you all know you can join us early for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Hardik Pandya WINS THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD for his all-around effort. He says when he played last time in England, he took a four-fer and scored 30 runs, that time he made a new record and he was certain that he reached a new milestone this time around. Adds that he is enjoying his cricket now, there is rhythm and he is feeling fit as well. Tells that it was a conscious decision taken by himself to get fully fit. On the leadership skills, he says he likes to take responsibility.

Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper is in for a chat. He says it was a great performance from the start, there was intent shown by all the batters. Adds that they played cricketing shots and they backed their basics. Tells that they needed to make the most of the Powerplay and there is an approach towards it and spoken about it. Shares that everyone needs to buy to the plan and the message is clear to every player. On Hardik, he says he was impressed overall but his bowling was fantastic, he was quick and there were variations as well. Says sometimes there is a nip in the air and the opening bowlers did really well to swing the ball and get control early on. On improvements, he says they were sloppy on the field, catches should have been taken but they will do well in the future.

Jos Buttler, the skipper of England says India bowled really well with the new ball. Mentions they cameback really well in the second half with the ball. Adds Jordan was fantastic and his figures in such a high-scoring game is just incredible. Adds Kumar bowled with great control and shaped both the way. They wanted to hit some balls into the stands initially but the Indian bowlers were excellent. Further says, Matt Parkinson stood up to the challenge and bowled with bravery. Ends by saying, he is glad that some players are getting exposure.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the innings, India posted an above par total with the help of some brisk innings from their batters. Hardik Pandya stood out with his half century but the contribution from the rest of the pack didn't go unnoticed. They ended with 198 on the board and might've felt to be 15-20 runs short, although it did not matter much as they were on the money with the ball.

India will take back a lot of positives from this game. Hardik Pandya became the first Indian player to score a half-century and take a four-fer in a T20I match. It was Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh who set the tone with their domination with the new ball. It was just another normal day at work for Chahal. He dominated the proceedings in the middle overs and got his side back in front with two wickets in a single over. Arshdeep Singh will be a happy man as he picked up a brace on his debut.

England were in all sorts of trouble right at the start of the chase. They lost three wickets inside the Powerplay. Their top order could not find their feet against some great seam bowling by the pacers. Brook's and Ali's stand might've brought some hope in the dugout but they fell in quick succession and the dark clouds were back in the dressing room. Later, the tail-enders had too much on their plate and could not get their side over the line as they bundled out for 148.

Rohit Sharma gets back to business straightaway and records his 13th victory as a captain. India lead the series 1-nil. England, on the other hand, could not transcend their 'BAZBALL' ploy into the shortest-format of the game. They will be very disappointed with their effort.
