India vs England 4th T20I Highlights: India on Thursday lost the five-T20I series to England with a match to go. The Shreyas Iyer-led side was humbled by a nine-wicket margin in the fourth game in Bristol. This became the second series that India lost under new captain Iyer as he continues to yearn for his maiden win in the role. After the first game was washed out due to rain, the Three Lions registered three consecutive victories to seal the series. On Thursday, Harry Brook and Phil Salt struck dominant fifties as England made a mockery of India's first-innings total of 158 for 7. The team reached home in 13.5 overs. In the first innings, Shreyas Iyer was the lone warrior with 80 not out off 49 balls as the visiting team posted a below-par total on the board. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi failed once again. He was dismissed by Jofra Archer for 15 off 10 balls. Jofra Archer (2 for 20) and Josh Tongue (2 for 36) picked up two wickets each for England. (Scorecard)

India vs England LIVE: 100th T20I for Axar Patel!
This is a big moment for India's spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel. He plays his 100th T20I today.
"When the first time I played T20, I never imagined I would play 100 matches. This tour of England will be very special for me because, like in the second T20, I completed my 100 wickets and in the fourth T20, it's my 100th match. So it's a very special day for me and I am really enjoying the moment," Axar said in a video posted by bcci.tv ahead of the match.
India vs England LIVE: Here's what Brook said -
"We would have won the toss and batted. Looks a very good surface. Like Shreyas said, there's a nice even spread of grass, so we'll see how it plays," said England captain Harry Brook.
Talking about his team's performance, he said, "We played awesome. We adapted well to conditions, we communicated really well, and it was a very, very good team performance."
India vs England LIVE: Here's what Iyer said -
"We're going to bat first. We are going to play like that (must-win game). We saw the fearlessness which we've been carrying for the first two games. It's just that we are not able to execute the plans as much as possible, but today, it's a fresh day, fresh start, and the boys are in pretty high spirits," said India captain Shreyas Iyer.
Talking about the surface, he said, "It looks good. It has got a decent amount of grass over the wicket. So, definitely we'll have a look how it plays from the first ball."
India vs England LIVE: England's Playing XI -
One change for England. They have included Rehan Ahmed for Liam Dawson. A like-for-like replacement for them.
England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w), Harry Brook(c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue.
India vs England LIVE: India's Playing XI -
India (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
India vs England LIVE: India opt to bat vs England!
India captain Shreyas Iyer continues his golden run at the toss. He wins yet another one and this time, Iyer opts to bat against England. Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana are out due to their respective injuries, with Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna coming in as replacements.
India vs England LIVE: Toss time approaching
We are just a few minutes away from toss time for the fourth T20I in Bristol. An important toss in front of Shreyas Iyer, as India look to avoid an unprecedented second consecutive T20I series loss.
India vs England LIVE: Gambhir's big dilemma
India's batting struggles have left head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer with several dilemmas ahead of the match. Will Sanju Samson get a look-in again? Will the likes of Washington Sundar and Suryansh Shedge be brought back? Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Axar Patel and Tilak Varma be persisted with?
India vs England LIVE: Tilak Varma under the scanner
Perhaps the Indian batter who is under fire the most is the team's vice-captain, Tilak Varma. Tilak's struggles against spin and short-pitched bowling have been worrying during the ongoing series, and his low strike-rate is a cause for concern. It will be interesting to see whether Tilak is given a long rope by Gambhir and Iyer.
India vs England LIVE: Will Samson be back?
After scores of 5, 0 and 1, India dropped Sanju Samson, giving Vaibhav Sooryavanshi his spot. It did not change the results as India lost the second and third games to England. While Sooryavanshi will continue to get the backing of the team management, the calls for Samson's return have grown louder. Will he get a game today?
India vs England LIVE: Sooryavanshi and Iyer in focus!
Both Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Shreyas Iyer are yearning for success in England in batting and captaincy, respectively. While the southpaw has managed scores of just 14 and 13 after making his international debut, Iyer is yet to win his first game as India captain despite leading the side in five matches.
India vs England LIVE: A must-win game for India!
Being already 2-0 down in the five-match series, India could not afford to lose any more matches. The first contest was washed out due to rain before England registered four-wicket and 125-run victories in the second and third matches, respectively.
