ENG vs IND

1-0 for England with 3 games to go now, the next one is at Trent Bridge after a couple of days and if India want to win this series pretty much every game from here is a must-win for them. India have now lost the last three completed T20Is, captain Shreyas Iyer is yet to register a win and his regime has definitely not started the way he would have liked. England would look to win another one and get into a position from where they cannot lose the series. Nottingham awaits both the teams, we will be there as well to bring you all the live action as always. For now, this is Sourabh Agrawal taking your leave on behalf of Bidipto Datta and the rest of the team. Cheers!

Harry Brook (England captain): Exteremely pleased. Thought the lads toiled around the field. We spoke about coming off the ropes and cutting those twos, some good stats, we got 11 twos and then got only 5. (thoughts on the score at the halfway mark) I thought we could chase it down with the wind and the dimensions. The idea was to get off to a start in the powerplay, it did not quite work out in the first couple of overs but we were pretty happy with where we were after the powerplay. Then the way Beth (Bethell) played was phenomenal

(Curran's bowling) He bowled beautifully in that little phase It was just about using the dimensions and the wind as well as we could. And that little spell that we had with him and Jacks, they went for about 10 or 12 runs and that was vital in the context of the game

(his knock personally) You have got to try and maximize the powerplay as well as you can and all our batters have so much strength and power, but innovation as well and we can hit different parts of the ground. I thought we used that really well. 

(on Jacob Bethell finally) He's awesome to have out there. He rallies the troops really well when we're out in the field, and gives me a massive hand out there as well. He's so mature for his age, and he's got a very long career ahead of him.

Shreyas Iyer (India captain): (where did the game go away?) I think we all know that but I do not want to pinpoint any particular player, we were cruising till the 15th over but then the momentum changed towards their end and from there on it was a cakewalk for them

(on Bishnoi's no balls) On the first one, I thought that okay he would come back from it. But then the couple in the 17th over, it haunted us. He has got to learn from it It was a phenomenal score on this wicket where there was variable bounce. Tilak getting that 20 off the final over. First 15 overs, as I said we were on top but then credit to the way Jacob batted

(Sam Curran's bowling) Analyzed the dimensions of the ground early on. He bowled right outside the off stump, did not allow them to play on the leg side which is the strength of our left-handers, our strength it to use the pace of the ball and play on the off side but he did not allow that

(on Vaibhav Sooryavashi) He has got that unflinching attitude, he is fearless and the way he bats there is something to learn from him. I did not expect him to be nervous, pleasing to see the way he stepped up

(losing three games in a row) I am always in high spirits, this is the lowest you can get and the only way from here is up

Jacob Bethell is unsurpisingly the Player of the Match for his 76* off 46: It worked out well in the end. Going into bat two down, Brook flipped the momentum right back at them. Made it easier for me, gave the strike back to him. It was a shame when he got out but then Banton came in. These kind of chases, you do not want to go rapid all the time but a couple of big overs swings the game

(targetting the 17th over bowled by Bishnoi) If I'm honest I would have targetted the other end, with the short side on the leg side with the win. But with those couple of free hits, the bowler is down. Then Jofra came in and finished it off

Playing in different dimensions on the two sides, it is important to realize that it can be easy hitting sixes to one end but you can also score the same amount of runs on the other side by hitting the gaps. We did that well as a team

(fond memories of playing India) I enjoyed that semi-final on a personal note even though we did not get over the line. You always want to do well against the best teams in the world

6:09 PM local time, 10:39 PM IST: MATCH SUMMARY

England (191/6 in 19 overs) beat India (190/7 in 20 overs) by 4 wickets

Jacob Bethell 76*(46) | Sam Curran 3/33(4)
Ishan Kishan 49(40) | Arshdeep Singh 3/40(4)

Jacob Bethell failed to get the job done at the Wankhede Stadium in the semi-final of the T20 WC around four months back, he holds his nerves this time and sees England over the finishing line with an entire over to spare and as a result England have a 1-0 lead in this 5-match T20 series with three more games to go

India would look back at those backfoot no balls from Bishnoi, as many as three of them, and more importantly two in the 17th over when it was 49 needed off 24 and Bethell maximized with a couple of lanky maximums taking a massive 29 off the over pretty much nailing it for England

18.6 Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, ENGLAND WIN! Archer with the winning runs, a deflated throw from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from deep square leg sums it up for India. Archer gets a yorker and clips again into the square leg region, Sooryavanshi sprinted to his right side but that was an easy two for the batters and Sooryavanshi upon realizing that throws it without any power to the keeper. The home crowd erupts, Jacob Bethell remains unbeaten on 76* off 46 and England win with one over to spare taking a 1-0 lead

18.4 Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, another yorker, this time outside off, Archer squeezes that out to deep cover for one. Brings Bethell on strike with 3 needed from 8

18.3 Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, in the blockhole at the stumps, Archer clips it into the square leg region and a sprinting effort from the deep from the 15-year old is not good enough to prevent the two

18.2 Arshdeep Singh to Jofra Archer, heaved for four! That should eliminate all the doubts, if any. Angled in on a short of a length from around the wicket, Archer hangs back and pulls it over mid-wicket who was in the ring. That runs away to the fence and England need only 6 now

17.6 Harshit Rana to Jofra Archer, almost a chop on! Threw the kitchen sink at one outside off, just went past the leg stump and that would be a single

17.4 Harshit Rana to Sam Curran, OUT! Still life in this game? Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with a first ever catch in Indian colors. Full and into the pads of Curran who picked that one up nicely but found the safe hands of Sooryvanshi running to his right at deep square leg, well taken
