Right then, India have taken an unassailable lead in the series. This extends their unbeaten run at home in the T20I format to 17 series in a row without a loss. The caravan now shifts to Mumbai for the fifth and final game of the series, which will take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, 2nd February. The game will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). As always, you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
The captain of India, Suryakumar Yadav says that it was a top effort from everyone in the field. Acknowledges the crowd and says that they were right behind them from the start till the end. Says that the boys know what brand of cricket they want to play. Feels that losing three wickets in an over pushed them back, but the way Hardik and Shivam Dube showed their experience was great. Feels that they are moving in the right direction. Also says that he was confident that between the 7-10 overs, they could control the game and Harshit Rana came in for them as the concussion substitute and delivered. On being asked about what to expect from Mumbai, he smiles and concludes by saying, 'A lot of fireworks'.
Shivam Dube is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his swashbuckling half-century. He is not available for the chat due to the concussion protocols and Suryakumar Yadav receives the award on his behalf.
The captain of England, Jos Buttler says that they started brilliantly in the Powerplay and should have gone on to win the game. Mentions that they did some really good things in this clash and it is disappointing not to have emerged victorious. Shares that he is happy with the brand of cricket they have been playing in this series.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Harshit Rana is up for a quick chat. He says that it was a dream debut for him. About his preparations, he mentions that he has been working hard and was waiting in the wings for a long time to prove himself. Says he got an opportunity this time and also says that bowling in the Indian T20 League has helped him a lot to develop as a bowler to bowl in the depth.
Earlier in the game, Jos Buttler won his first toss of the series and chose to bowl first. A triple-wicket maiden from Saqib Mahmood left India reeling at 12/3. Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh continued to play their shots, though that same aggressive approach eventually led to their downfall. Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya then forged a solid recovery, with Dube taking on the role of the aggressor early on. Pandya soon joined in, and thanks to their fifties, India reached 181.
Despite losing Livingstone, Brook carried on his merry way and led the chase for England. However, lightning struck twice for England as they lost wickets in clusters. Earlier, they had gone from 62/0 to 67/3, and then from a promising position of 129/4, they slipped to 146/8. Jamie Overton kept the flame of the chase alive, and it came down to needing 25 off 12 balls. However, his departure on the last ball of the penultimate over effectively sealed the game for the hosts.
From that point, it was a proper arm wrestle as whenever England seemed to be gaining momentum, India responded by pulling them back. Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone got together and found the right approach, staying busy against the spinners to keep the chase moving ahead. Then came the most major talking point of the game - Harshit Rana was approved as the like-for-like concussion substitute for Shivam Dube, and he struck with his second ball.
India seal the series with a hard-fought victory! Time and again, they were pushed into a corner, but they held their nerve and came out on top. As for England, they had their moments in the game, and there were multiple occasions where they had India by the throat but just couldn't capitalize on their chances. In their pursuit of 182 runs, England got off to a blazing start thanks to Phil Salt and Ben Duckett. Duckett fell on the last ball of the Powerplay, and India capitalized on the momentum, sneaking in a couple more wickets to pull things back.

Arshdeep Singh To Saqib Mahmood OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! INDIA WILL HEAD TO WANKHEDE WITH A SERIES WIN! Arshdeep bangs it hard on the surface, a short of a good length ball on off, Saqib Mahmood tries to pull it behind deep mid-wicket, but the ball climbs on the right-hander and Mahmood ends up mistiming it in the air. The ball travels flat and straight down the throat of Axar Patel who runs forward a few yards in from the deep, and takes a comfortable catch. From being 62/0, England holed out getting bundled up on 166. Also, this is India's 17th consecutive series in the T20Is win at home, since 2019.

Harshit Rana To Jamie Overton OUT!
OUT! BOWLED'EM! A 3-fer for Harshit Rana and what a dream T20I debut for him! Outside off on a good length from Rana, pace on, Jamie Overton stays back and tries to heave across but ends up playing it a bit too close to his body. Inside edges it and the ball goes straight into the wickets. England lose their ninth wicket as Jamie Overton departs now on 19 (15).

Harshit Rana To Jamie Overton
IN THE AIR...DROPPED! Would you believe it? Harshit Rana bowls another slower one, fuller and outside off, Jamie Overton is early into the shot and gets a thick top edge. The ball swirls behind in the air and two men are up for it to catch, Varun Chakravarthy from short third and the keeper Sanju Samson. Both of them do not call for the catch and just end up colliding with each other. Sanju Samson goes for the catch eventually and it pops in and out of the gloves. Two runs taken.

Harshit Rana To Jamie Overton
FOUR! Powerfully struck! Serves it full and on the stumps, Jamie Overton brings the bottom hand in play and smashes it hard and over the bowler's head for a cracking boundary. England need 21 off 11 balls remaining now.
Who will bowl the penultimate over? It will be the concussion substitute, Harshit Rana. 3-0-27-2 so far for Rana.

Arshdeep Singh To Adil Rashid
SIX! Rashid connects and connects well off the final delivery! This is full and on the off-stump line, Adil Rashid clears the front foot and picks it up nicely, and tonks it over widish long on for a six. The umpires want to check whether the ball landed inside the ropes or right on the skirting. It is deemed that the ball just landed on the skirting. England need 25 runs in 12 balls.
