Commentary

Harry Brook
I think the communication and the plans in the second half went perfectly. We adapted really well with the bat and then when we were bowling we aimed perfectly at the top of the stumps. Lot of conversations with the coach regarding what can be done properly and we executed that perfectly especially the occasional bouncers. There are lot of things we can improve on going forward and we look forward to the next game.
Shreyas Iyer ( India Captain) 
I think it was atrocious and I cannot think of a better word than that. Losing by such a big margin is really not acceptable and we really need to go back to the drawing board and see what we did wrong. Also other than that we really need to see the way batted we lost four wickets in the powerplay. That alone itself created the momentum where we ended up losing the game. We needed to pace our endings and setup certain pattern where we should have done it properly. There is a great opportunity to come back strong in the series. There were a lot of learning from this match today and also we have to learn how to make an impact . We have to see how we can go forward in the matches and take responsibility for that. 
Jofra Archer is the Player of the Match for his 3/29, the announcer says that his early wickets in the powerplay won the game for England. Here is what he had to say: Always happy to contribute to a team win. Felt good, bowling to world class batters you have got to keep hitting the spot. I am surprised it turned around so quickly (after Manchester). Same today, bowled a lot of good balls, was lucky to get one off a bad one too. (on Tongue) Brilliant, if I do not get wickets, he definitely, definitely will. I have bowled all summer with him. He shares ideas, enjoy bowling with him

INNINGS SUMMARY

Chasing a daunting 202, India never recovered from a disastrous start as England's pace attack ripped through the batting order, sealing a dominant 125-run victory.

India began aggressively, with Abhishek Sharma (10) and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (13 off 5) looking to take the attack to England.

However, England struck repeatedly in the powerplay, reducing India to 41/4 inside five overs. Jofra Archer removed Vaibhav and Shreyas Iyer, while Josh Tongue accounted for Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan to leave the chase in tatters.

The middle order offered little resistance. Axar Patel's brief 10-run cameo ended quickly, while Tilak Varma (3), Shivam Dube (2) and the lower order folded under relentless pressure.

 India slipped from 52/5 to 70/9, with wickets falling at regular intervals.
England's bowlers were clinical throughout. Josh Tongue starred with 4/28, using bounce and pace to dismantle the batting lineup. Jofra Archer backed him up superbly with 3/29, while Adil Rashid (2/14) and Will Jacks (1/5) cleaned up the tail.

Match Verdict
England dominated every phase of the contest. After posting a commanding 201/7, their bowlers produced a ruthless display, bowling India out for just 76 in 12.4 overs. The comprehensive 125-run victory was built on Phil Salt's explosive batting and a devastating new-ball spell from Archer and Tongue, leaving India with no chance of mounting a serious chase.
Varun Chakaravarthy has been dismissed for 5 runs off 7 balls
11.4 Adil Rashid to Varun Chakaravarthy, BOWLED! Cleaned up comprehensively and that ends India's disarray in Nottingham and brings a close to a page that the "World Champions" would want to burn and put in the bin. England win by 125 runs as India have been bowled out for a paltry 76, second lowest total for India ever in T20Is and their largest margin of defeat in this format. Shreyas Iyer's men have been beaten fair and square, beaten black and blue by the English team which has blown them out of the water and left them with unanswered questions aplenty. The final nail in the coffin was delivered through a quicker and flatter one at the stumps from Rashid, Varun missed the line and got completely opened up as the ball gripped past his off stump and knocked the off stump back sealing a historic win for England
11.3 Adil Rashid to Varun Chakaravarthy, a piece of memorabilia for Varun! He sees the flight at the stumps as Rashid goes wicket hunting again, lofts it over mid-on to collect a boundary.
11.2 Adil Rashid to Varun Chakaravarthy, now pushed through at 84 ks, on a length at off, Varun now pushes it to cover
11.1 Adil Rashid to Varun Chakaravarthy, exteremely slow, leg break around off on a length, enough time for Varun to go back and pat it to mid-off
Tongue finishes his spell with figures of 4-28. What a spell!

10.6 Josh Tongue to Prince Yadav, denies the fifer again, was full and outside off from Tongue and Prince drove it meekly through covers without any sort of feet movement for a couple
10.5 Josh Tongue to Prince Yadav, angled back on a short of a length at the stumps, Prince gets behind the line of that one and denies Tongue the fifer for now

10.4 Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, LOVELY CATCH BY BETHELL! Absolutely everything going the hosts' way, Rana goes too now after being an inexplicible chapter in this inexplicible book. Short and wide, he cut it hard but did not keep it down, Bethell moved swiftly to his left as that was travelling and pouched it
10.3 Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, SHORT BALL! Around middle and leg, pace on, Rana happy to duck under it
10.2 Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, 122 ks, hard length outside off, Rana clears the front leg and gives it a good old swing of the bat. On the bounce to mid-wicket
10.1 Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, short of a length outside off, 140 ks, Rana looks to cut but gets hurried and the ball takes the underedge and goes on the bounce to the right of Buttler who gets a glove on it. Takes the pace off, does not take the single
