Top Bowlers

Right then, another night where the ball dominated the bat to an extent given how good a surface this was to bat on and this time, it was England who were able to take advantage of the batting frailties. Next up, the caravan moves to Pune for the 4th T20I and a crucial one at that. That game will be played on Friday, 31 January and will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Varun Chakravarthy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant five-wicket haul and rarely does it happen that a player from the losing team. Says that he is sad that they didn't win this game but it is the nature of the game and they will look to move on. Adds that when you are playing for the country, you need to take accountability and hopes to improve further. On his bowling spells, he says that he is mentally ready to bowl whenever required. Adds that he has been working on a flipper which is coming out nicely.

Jos Buttler, the victorious skipper of England says the pacers bowled really well and showed they can vary pace too. Lauds Adil Rashid's performance and says he is happy to have somebody like him on the team. He then goes on to appreciate the way Ben Duckett played on what was a sticky pitch. Says they lost wickets in clusters which was not ideal but they managed to get to a total and then pick early wickets which was a key. Credits Adil Rashid and Mark Wood for putting on that last wicket partnership.

Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India says that he felt there would be a bit of dew later on and with the batters in the middle, he thought the match was still in their hands. Credits Adil Rashid for the way he bowled in the middle phase and didn't allow them to rotate the strike. Mentions that you always learn something from a T20 game and he thinks that they conceded a few too many runs in the end and from a batting point of view as well, they will go back to the drawing board. On Mohammed Shami, he says that it is good to see him back in the middle and is hopeful that he will improve further. Ends by saying that he will tell Varun Chakravarthy to keep doing what he is doing and chuckles by saying that he is hopeful that he will score some more runs in the next game.

The Presentation ceremony...

Adil Rashid is now down for a chat. He says as a team they bowled exceptionally well and on his wicket of Tilak Varma, he says the ball gripped and turned nicely to go through. Mentions that he puts in a lot of effort in the nets and has learned a lot with experience. Says that they as a bowling unit made use of the variations in pace nicely and his last wicket partnership with Mark Wood was only to try and add as much as possible.

Earlier in the game, Suryakumar Yadav asked England to bat first on what looked like a flat track and everyone expected big runs. However, Phil Salt once again flopped at the top but this time, Ben Duckett was able to hit his way out of trouble alongside skipper Jos Buttler. In the middle overs, it was a similar story from the previous games as Varun Chakravarthy ripped through the English batting lineup. Liam Livingstone did well to get those big hits away once the wickets started to tumble and a solid final-wicket stand between Rashid and Wood saw England notch up 171 runs which actually proved to be quite crucial. In reply, we saw a solid bowling performance, this time from England and they picked up enough wickets in the middle phase to be able to press the issue later on and get the win.

India and their spinners have been dominant in the first couple of matches but in this game and the last one, we have also seen their flaws with the bat. The no-holds-barred approach at the top is certainly exciting but once you lose more than a couple of wickets in the Powerplay, the pressure starts to tell. Abhishek Sharma got off to a flier before getting out and the rest of the top order didn't have much of an impact. It was then Washington Sundar and Hardik Pandya who tried to steady the ship but after a sluggish stand, Sundar fell. Axar Patel then walked in and it was a similar story and despite a few hits from the bat of Pandya, India lost wickets in a heap at the death and were well beaten in the end.

Disciplined and controlled aggression from the English pacers this evening and they have managed to defend the runs on the board after coming close and being unable to get over the line in the last game. The tone was set up top by Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Brydon Carse who picked up a wicket each. Then it was Adil Rashid who ruled the middle phase, picking up the crucial wicket of Tilak Varma and put a cap on the runs which allowed the pacers to take advantage of. Carse showed solidity yet again but it was Jamie Overton who was able to turn an underwhelming tour thus far into something meaningful and picked up 3 wickets.

The series is well and truly alive and England have come roaring back with a solid performance in the field! 171 seemed well below par but they have made huge amends with the ball and India's middle-order woes have been on display here too. India lead the series 2-1 heading into the final two games, and we might see a photo finish to this five-match series.

Brydon Carse To Dhruv Jurel OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Jurel tries to be a bit too innovative and gifts his wicket. Brydon Carse sees the batter shuffle fires it in, full and at the batter, Jurel looks to ramp it behind the keeper but only lobs it off the splice to the keeper Phil Salt who does the rest.

Ravi Bishnoi is the next batter in.

OUT! CAUGHT! Another one goes down! Jamie Overton gets his third.
