Player of the Match

Jofra Archer

5(2)&3/29(3)

Time to sign off - Three games are done in the series, with two still to come. England may have plenty to ponder in Tests, but in T20Is they have made a statement against the current world champions. It has been a nightmare start to Shreyas Iyer's tenure as India's T20I captain, and his side now has it all to do if they are to end the series on level terms. The fourth T20I will be played in Bristol on Thursday, 9 July, with the first ball scheduled for 4.30 pm GMT (10 pm IST). Until then, it's goodbye from us.

The skipper of England - Harry Brook starts by saying that the communication and the plans going into the second half were perfect. Adds that they knew it was a tricky surface and wanted to hit the deck hard. Mentions that Phil Salt's innings was mega and also Jos Buttler's cameo up top, as they knew the surface wasn't an easy one to bat on. On the contribution of the middle order, Brook says that he's delighted with how they played and with the ball, they kept it simple and tried to hit the top of the stumps. On areas to improve, he says that they need to keep adapting to the surfaces like they did today.

The captain of India - Shreyas Iyer admits the performance was atrocious and says losing by such a big margin is simply not acceptable. He feels the team must first accept the defeat before going back to the drawing board. In his view, it wasn't a 200-run wicket, but losing five wickets in the Powerplay left them with too much to do. Iyer feels the hard length was the right option on this pitch, something they as a bowling unit failed to execute. Looking ahead, he says the team must move on quickly, come back stronger, and that every player needs to reflect on how they can contribute more to the team's cause.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Jofra Archer takes home the award for his stellar display with the ball. He returned figures of 3/29 from his 3 overs. Archer says that he's happy to contribute to the team. On his performance, he says that against world-class batters, you need to hold your nerve. On the turnaround in fortune from Manchester, he says that it's very quick how things change and feels that he was lucky to get one of his wickets today. On Josh Tongue, Archer says that he's a genuine wicket-taker and will keep doing that, and he enjoys bowling with Tongue.

Time for the presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game - After winning the toss, India managed to keep things quiet early on, but not for long, as Jos Buttler got England up and running. He couldn't convert his start, but Phil Salt did. After a scratchy beginning to his innings, Salt found his rhythm and held the innings together. It was Sam Curran who then provided the late flourish, playing a crucial hand to lift the hosts beyond the 200-run mark. Playing his first game of the series, Prince Yadav was the standout for the visitors with figures of 2 for 30 from his 4 overs.

Powerplay demolition - It was the new-ball pair of Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue who blew India away with a fiery opening spell. Not all five wickets that fell inside the Powerplay came from wicket-taking deliveries, but in this format, you need a bit of luck to go your way as well. From India's perspective, it was one of those innings where they seemed to find fielders almost every time they took the aerial route. 5 down inside the Powerplay, and India never really recovered from there. What followed was an abject surrender as England romped to a commanding victory. Nottingham's own Josh Tongue finished with a four-for in just his second T20I while Jofra Archer accounted for three out of the opposition's top five.

India handed a shellacking - England have absolutely steamrolled the tourists here in Nottingham. It was as dominant a performance as you could ask for, with the Harry Brook-led side cruising to a 125-run victory to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. It continues to go from bad to worse for Shreyas Iyer and his men on this UK tour. After a 2-0 clean sweep against Ireland, they have now suffered their biggest defeat in T20Is by the margin of runs and have been rolled over for their second-lowest total in the format.

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy OUT!

OUT! TIMBER! Done and dusted, England have handed India a real hammering, winning the game by 125 runs. Adil Rashid pushes this one through a bit quicker and fuller on middle, pushing Varun Chakaravarthy onto the back foot. Chakaravarthy looks to flick but plays all around the traditional leg break delivery and the ball beats the outside edge to smash into the stumps.

11.3

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

FOUR! Varun Chakaravarthy is having a bit of fun out there. Tossed up again, too full and straight, Varun clears the front leg and lofts it straight down the ground for a boundary.

11.2

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

Quicker through the air now, on off, Chakaravarthy rocks back again and blocks it off.

11.1

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

Tossed up, really slow, on length and around middle. Chakaravarthy rocks back and punches it to cover.

10.5

Josh Tongue To Prince Yadav

Tongue goes a bit wider on the crease, pitches it on a good length and angles it into the batter. Prince Yadav hangs back to defend.

Prince Yadav is the last man in.

10.4

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! That is a sensational catch from Tom Banton, and Josh Tongue has a four-fer. Tongue hammers it in on a hard length, at around 142 kph and pushes it outside off. Harshit Rana backs away and laces the cut but hits it uppishly. Banton at backward point, springs to his left and snaffles it with both hands. India are 70/9, and England are just one wicket away from victory.

10.3

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana

A sharp bumper now, over middle and leg, at 145 kph. Rana does well to duck under it.

10.2

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana

Dug in short and outside off, Rana looks to whack it leg side but gets an inside edge and the ball goes towards mid-wicket. Rana is disappointed to not have connected well here.

10.1

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana

No run taken! A length ball outside off, Harshit Rana goes after it to cut but edges it down to deep third and denies the single.

Plenty of air, full and outside off. Rana leans on to smother the turn and eases it to mid off for a single. Jofra Archer scores a direct hit at the keeper's end but Chakaravarthy is well in.

9.5

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

Rashid slows it right up, bowling it short around off. Chakaravarthy waits back and pushes it through covers for a single.

9.4

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

Beaten! The googly now, full and pushed through outside off. Chakaravarthy looks to drive but is beaten past the outside edge.

9.3

Adil Rashid To Varun Chakaravarthy

Tossed up, full and on middle, Varun Chakaravarthy defends it off.

DRINKS BREAK! We all need a moment to process what has unfolded so far in the 9.2 overs. India have simply been blown away, and it has been a procession. India's lowest-ever total in T20Is is 74, and that record is under serious threat with only two wickets remaining. Varun Chakaravarthy walks out to bat. Harry Brook has positioned himself at slip.

9.2

Adil Rashid To Arshdeep Singh OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Gone this time. Adil Rashid tosses this one up, bowled from the front of the hand. Arshdeep Singh sits down to sweep again but miscues it badly. The ball lobs up around silly mid off and the keeper Jos Buttler calls for it early, and then jogs after it, pouching it safely. Number 8 down for India.

9.1

Adil Rashid To Arshdeep Singh

Dragged length on off, Arshdeep Singh looks to sweep but gets a top edge over the keeper and down to deep third for a couple of runs.

Adil Rashid is back.

Josh Tongue To Arshdeep Singh

In the air, and lands safely! A brain-fade moment in the field for England and Arshdeep Singh survives. Josh Tongue hammers it in short over leg stump, Singh backs away and goes after it, only managing to slice it high and towards short third. Jos Buttler runs after it and so does Sam Curran from backward point. Buttler calls for it and then Curran calls for it, and in the end, they both keep looking at each other as the ball falls right in the middle. Single taken.

8.5

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana

Good length, wider of the off stump, smacked away behind point for a single in the deep.

8.4

Josh Tongue To Harshit Rana

A quick bumper now, over the stumps, Harshit Rana ducks under it.

8.3

Josh Tongue To Arshdeep Singh

A heavy short ball, angled into the body. Arshdeep Singh backs away and splices it through mid off for a single. Actually, it was Arshdeep who backed away very early and Tongue followed him.

With the departure of Shivam Dube, a few Indian fans have started making their way towards the exits. Arshdeep Singh is in next.

8.2

Josh Tongue To Shivam Dube OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That should be the final nail in the coffin, and Abhishek Sharma's face in the dug-out says it all. Josh Tongue steams in and hits the shortish length at 143 kph, over the middle stump and gets it to skid through. Shivam Dube hangs back, gets cramped for room and just looks to angle the pull behind square leg. He ends up getting an under edge through to the keeper, and Jos Buttler makes no mistake. India are now 63/7.

8.1

Josh Tongue To Shivam Dube

Banged in short over middle and leg, Dube stays leg side of the ball, and dabs it late down to short third.

A change of ends for Josh Tongue.

Floated up on middle, turning in, Rana leans on, covers the line and flicks it through mid-wicket for one more.

7.2

Will Jacks To Shivam Dube

Tossed up, on a dragged length, eased away through square covers for a single.

Shivam Dube is in at number 8.

7.1

Will Jacks To Tilak Varma OUT!

OUT! STUMPED! Oh, Jos Buttler nearly fumbled it big time, but he gets away with it. A lovely bit of drift on offer for Will Jacks as he flights it up on a length and around off. Tilak Varma skips down the pitch, looking to go over extra cover but the ball holds its line and goes past the inside edge. Buttler is a bit too eager to dislodge the bails, but replays show that Buttler did still have the ball in contact with his gloves when the bails came off, and Varma is a long way out of his crease. India are 60/6 in a chase of 202.

Gone? Jos Buttler seems to have missed a stumping chance here. Buttler isn't quite sure, and the decision is sent upstairs. The replays confirm he held on to the ball long enough to break the stumps before it slipped out of his glove. OUT flashes on the big screen.

Adil Rashid To Tilak Varma

Play and a miss! Floated up on a nagging length and around off, Tilak Varma sits down to sweep but is beaten in flight and the ball bounces over his willow.

6.4

Adil Rashid To Tilak Varma

Good length, slower on off, turns in. Varma dabs it to the left of backward point and looks for the single, but quickly decides against it.

6.3

Adil Rashid To Tilak Varma

From the front of the hand, slanted across off, Varma punches it out to extra cover.

6.2

Adil Rashid To Harshit Rana

Bowled flatter and wider outside off stump, Rana taps it wide of point and picks up a single.

6.1

Adil Rashid To Harshit Rana

FOUR! Whipped away. The wrong one, drifted into the pads, Harshit Rana stays put and flicks it powerfully and just behind square leg for a boundary.

Will Jofra Archer continue? The answer is no. Adil Rashid replaces him. On India's decision to send Harshit Rana ahead of Shivam Dube, Dinesh Karthik on air says he is absolutely gobsmacked.

Tossed up on middle, this one just grips a bit, Varma drives it a tad uppishly and towards extra cover.

Drifted into the left-hander, dips late on the batter. Varma watchfully keeps it out on the off side.

Jofra Archer To Axar Patel OUT!

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jofra Archer has the last laugh. He ends the over just the way he started. In the channel on off, on a short of a length. Axar throws his hands at the ball, but it is not wide enough for the cut. The ball takes the outside edge, and Jos Buttler makes no mistake. Wicket number 3 for Archer. 3 wickets in 7 balls for England. India are now 52/5.

4.5

Jofra Archer To Axar Patel

SIX! Cleverly done! At 146 kph, on a shortish length, over off. Axar arches back and uses the pace of the ball by lifting it over the keeper for a six. India's 50 is up.

FOUR! Gets it through! Archer bowls it into the wicket again, on middle. Axar gives the bowler the charge and gets on top of the bounce to punch it past point for a boundary.

4.3

Jofra Archer To Axar Patel

Skidding through, on a hard length, on middle. Patel hops and stabs it down on the off side.

4.2

Jofra Archer To Tilak Varma

From around the wicket, angled in on a good length. Tilak nudges it wide of square leg for a single.

Ominous signs for India now. The vice-captain replaces the captain as Tilak Varma walks out to bat now.

4.1

Jofra Archer To Shreyas Iyer OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! The sheepish smile on the face of Jofra Archer tells the story. This was there to be put away, but Shreyas Iyer has picked out the fielder. Full and sliding onto the pads. Iyer has no intention of keeping it on the ground as he plays the pick-up shot off the pads. Jacob Bethell moves to his right at deep backward square leg and gets on his knees to pouch it safely. India are now 41/4, needing 161 runs in 95 balls.

Three down inside the Powerplay, and that's never a good sign for the batting side. Axar Patel walks out to bat at number 5.

Ishan climbs into pull but fails to get it wide enough of the deep square leg fielder. Jacob Bethell moves to his right and snaffles it.

3.5

Josh Tongue To Ishan Kishan

Fuller and wider on off. Kishan loses his shape as he tries to muscle it away on the off side. Mishits it to mid off.

3.4

Josh Tongue To Ishan Kishan

SIX! All the way! Tongue digs it in short, over middle. Kishan takes his eyes off the ball as he plays the pull but gets his high and clears the backward square leg fence.

3.3

Josh Tongue To Ishan Kishan

Bowled at 147 kph, cross-seam delivery, skidding through at the leg stump. Kishan clears the front leg early but is cramped for space and can only pat it down the strip.

3.2

Josh Tongue To Shreyas Iyer

Delivers it on a hard length, over off. Iyer gets his hands high, rides the bounce and guides it behind point for one.

2.5

Jofra Archer To Shreyas Iyer

Jofra Archer takes advantage of India's aggressive approach, and England have their second wicket. Also, Shreyas Iyer now walks out to bat.

2.4

Jofra Archer To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Jofra Archer gets one over his IPL teammate. Archer digs it in short, around the right shoulder. Sooryavanshi tries to get inside the line and use the pace to hook it over long leg. The ball grazes a bit of the glove on the way through, and Jos Buttler gobbles it up with a small jump to his right. India have now lost both their openers.

2.3

Jofra Archer To Ishan Kishan

Closer to the off stump and fuller as well, Kishan punches it through point for a single.

2.2

Jofra Archer To Ishan Kishan

FOUR! Kishan flashes and flashes hard. This is at 147 kph, on the shorter side, outside off. Kishan throws the kitchen sink at it and it flies off a thickish outside edge over the man at short third.

2.1

Jofra Archer To Ishan Kishan

Hits the top of off, does Archer. Kishan steers it with an angled bat face to backward point.

Josh Tongue To Abhishek Sharma OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Tongue gets his radar right and strikes. Cross-seam ball, bowled into the surface, outside off. Abhishek hangs back and swings to go big on the off side. There is a bit of lift off the deck and Sharma ends up slicing it down to deep backward point, where Phil Salt runs in and takes an easy catch. India are 23/1, chasing 202.

1.4

Josh Tongue To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

This is even quicker at 147 kph, full and outside off. Sooryavanshi presses back and firms the drive to the left of mid off. They cross.

1.3

Josh Tongue To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

SIX! Clobbered! Bowled at 141 kph, a bit too full, on middle. Sooryavanshi clears the front leg and brings his wrists into play as he whips it way back over the deep mid-wicket fence.

1.2

Josh Tongue To Abhishek Sharma

Banged into the deck, across off. Abhishek drags the pull to the left of square leg for a single.

1.1

Josh Tongue To Abhishek Sharma

SIX! Dumped into the stands. Tongue gets it all wrong as he serves a full toss, outside off at waist height. Abhishek stands tall and carves it over backward point for his first six.

0.2

Jofra Archer To Abhishek Sharma

A big swing and a miss! The length is pulled back a bit and it is angled across the left-hander. Abhishek charges down the track and stays leg side. He flays at it but fails to connect.

0.1

Jofra Archer To Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek and India are away! Archer begins with a full ball, a bit of inward shape, on the pads. Sharma picks it up aerially over wide mid on but the ball does not have enough legs to reach the fence. Liam Dawson goes after it and hauls it in with a side. A couple of runs to start with for Abhishek.
