India vs England, 3rd T20I Highlights, Bengaluru: Chahal Puts Visitors To The Sword As Hosts Clinch Series 2-1

Half-centuries from Suresh Raina (63), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (56) and a Yuvraj Singh blitz helped India overcome the loss of skipper Virat Kohli early on and powered the hosts to 202 for six in 20 overs. England's chase didn't get off the best of starts as Sam Billings was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal in the second over. Jason Roy scored 32 off 23 balls but was sent packing by Amit Mishra. Joe Root and Eoin Morgan put England's chase back on track with some lusty blows but a dream spell from Chahal saw him pick three wickets in an over as the English batsmen lost eight wickets for just eight runs. India clinched the T20I series 2-1 and with it completed a Tour sweep, having won the Test and ODI series as well. (SCORECARD)

18:28 IST: Toss time!! Both captains are out on the field.

18:20 IST: Four T20Is have been played at the M Chinaswamy and the highest score batting first on this ground has been just 157 - by Australia against Bangladesh, during last year's T20 World Cup.

18:16 IST: Early news coming in is that umpire C Shamshuddin, who was in the news for some poor decisions in the second T20I, is not feeling a 100 percent and will not be one of the two on-field umpires. He instead has been put on third-umpire duties.

18:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the third and final T20I between India and England. The series in the balance and both teams will be fired up.

India had comfortably won the Test and ODI series, and now have an opportunity to complete a tour sweep if they win the third and final T20I. However, the hosts will know that will not be an easy task.

The English batting looked very solid in the first T20s and if not for the late heroics of Bumrah and Nehra, the visitors would have had the series in the bag. Eoin Morgan and Joe Root have done the job in the middle order while Ben Stokes has provided the fireworks later on. England openers Jason Roy and Sam Billings have given their team fast starts but have been unable to convert it into big scores.

For India, Kohli's promotion to the opening slot hasn't worked out to plan and there might be a case for him to return to his usual one-down position in the batting order. KL Rahul showcased his class with a stormy innings in Nagpur but it was the only score of note for the Indians in the second T20I.

Both Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh have struggled while Mahendra Singh Dhoni has come in too late to really make an impact.
