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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
