Commentary

Right then, two games are done and it is India who have sealed the series 2-0. There is still one more game to go and well it might be a dead rubber, it is more about momentum going into the ODI series. India will be eyeing a clean sweep while England will be looking to make it 2-1 and get into the ODI series with some confidence behind them. The next match starts in less than 24 hours, on Sunday, the 10th of July. The first ball will be bowled at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) but our coverage will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Take care and goodbye!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-1-15-3) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH  for his exceptional display with the new ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar says that when the ball swings one enjoys it a lot. Tells that there has not been a lot of swing with the white ball in England in the last few games and he is happy to get some good swing here. Mentions that Jos Buttler is a dangerous player and he has his plans against him and he tries to execute that. Mentions that whenever it swings it is easy to plan and execute it and he tries to work on his strength and is confident in his skills. Regarding his fitness, Bhuvneshwar Kumar says that he does not want to talk about it and signs off by saying that as he is playing, something is going right at the moment.

Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma says that they know how good England is as a team and they were up for the challenge. Adds that they were clinical and they had a clear idea of what to do. Mentions that whenever you win games, it gives you confidence and they want to just focus on what lies ahead and they want to challenge themselves more and more as a group. Adds that it was a brilliant knock under pressure from Ravindra Jadeja, who used all his experience and seems to be confident in what he wants to do and it was good to finish off on a score that he thought was par. Says that they understand the importance of the Powerplay and want to put pressure on the opposition and they did have a superb Powerplay in both matches which set up the victory. Ends by saying that they want to give others an opportunity but will have to have a chat about it and the only issue here is not getting carried away and keep on performing.

Jos Buttler, the captain of England says that it is very disappointing and says that they did not play well and they did not deserve to win. Tells that at the halfway mark they were quite happy with Richard Gleeson bowling well on debut but they lost wickets early and in the hindsight says that they would have batted first but overall they did not play well. Applauds Richard Gleeson for his performance in the debut game and also talks about Chris Jordan and says that he has bowled quite well and he is happy for Jordan. Ends by saying that they need to be better in the next game though they don’t have much time to reflect on the loss.

Presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Jos Buttler won the toss and put India in to bat which didn't turn out to be the right decision as the English bowlers got hammered in the Powerplay. The debutant, Richard Gleeson picked up three quick wickets to change the momentum a bit and then Chris Jordan kept up the good work. However, the Indian batters kept on finding the fence towards the end and thanks to a blistering cameo from Ravindra Jadeja, the visitors reached a decent score of 170. While chasing a stiff target, the English innings could never gather any sort of momentum due to some excellent pace bowling from the opposition and a fragile display with the bat as well. In the end, it was a very comfortable victory for India and they keep their record of not losing a T20I series against England. Stay tuned for the presentation.

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for England once again. Their highly-rated top order crumbled early as Jason Roy and Jos Buttler had no answer to the swing and seam of the Indian pacers. And with wickets falling, they tried to play explosive cricket which didn't work. With half the side out for just 55 runs, the hosts were down and out. Moeen Ali did provide some hope of a comeback but perished soon and it was then David Willey who hit some lusty blows to make the loss look a little less dreadful. Given the hosts' prowess in white-ball cricket, they will be thoroughly disappointed with that display.

India had a competitive total on the board but given England's explosive top order, the visitors needed an early breakthrough. Bhuvneshwar Kumar provided just that as he did last time around. Jasprit Bumrah and Kumar then kept on pressing the issue and picked up three wickets inside the first 5 overs. This set the tone for the others and the visitors just kept on picking up wickets at regular intervals. The two front-line seamers were excellent with Yuzvendra Chahal and Hardik Pandya supporting them well. Only Ravindra Jadeja had an off day with the ball but all in all, another strong showing with the ball and in the field from India has seen them take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

A resounding victory for India and they have sealed the three-match T20I series with a game to spare! This has been yet another strong all-round showing from the visitors and England have had not much answer to it.

14.2W

OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Moeen Ali will be thoroughly disappointed with that shot.

SIX! Moeen Ali keeping the English hopes alive! Short of a length, on middle and leg. Ali swings it away high and towards deep mid-wicket. Virat Kohli is a bit inside and has to back peddle but the ball sails just over him for maximum.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! Indian players make their way out to the middle. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler are the openers for England. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has a brand new ball in his hand. One slip in place. Here we go...

...THE RUN CHASE…

Right then, England have a par score to chase here. They have a powerful batting line-up and would be fancing their chances to chase this one. Indian bowlers were brilliant in the first game, can they defend this total? We shall find out.

England were put under pressure with the ball in the Powerplay but the debutant Richard Glesson brought them back in the game with three quick wickets as India were reduced to 61-3 from 49-0. Jordan was also brilliant for the second game in the row and did not allow India to take the game away from England at any point in time. Richard Gleeson and Jordan were the only wicket-takers for England taking three and four wickets respectively. The English bowlers have done quite well here and it is upto the batters now to chase this total down.

There has been a lot of talk about how India will approach T20 cricket and they have given us some solid answers in this series so far. They took the aggressive option again and started off with a bang with Pant and Rohit going great guns. Rohit departed after a breezy knock and Kohli and Pant followed him soon. However, the Indian batters did not shy away from playing their shots and despite losing wickets at regular intervals, India continued to score briskly. Jadeja made sure that he bats till the end and finished with 46 from 29 balls and that has taken India to a decent total here.

A competitive total on the board from India courtesy of a fine cameo by Jadeja in the end. However, England will go into the break as a happier side. They were much better with the ball in this game compared to the last one and have a real chance now to level this series here at Edgbaston.

19.52

Easy two there! Full and on leg stump, Jadeja gets an inside edge towards the vacant square leg region and races back for the second.

19.40

Gets away with one there Sam Curran. Yet another juicy full toss, this time Jadeja miscues it towards deep mid-wicket and it will be a dot ball.

18.6W

OUT! TAKEN! There to be hit but Bhuvneshwar Kumar finds the fielder! Full and wide, almost a half-volley. Kumar stays deep in his crease and looks to thrash it through extra cover and he gets the connection too, just not the elevation. The ball goes straight towards David Willey at extra cover and he takes a sharp catch. Chris Jordan finishes off his spell with a four-fer!

18.51

Switches to over the wicket and serves a very full ball on off stump, Jadeja pushes it out on the off side for a single.

18.44

FOUR! Goes full again but not full enough, Jadeja drills this one past the man at mid off and picks up a much-needed boundary.

18.30

Excellent from Jordan! Comes from around the wicket and nails the yorker on the pads. Ravindra Jadeja gets cramped for room and fails to get it away as the ball hits him on the pads.

18.21

back of a length, on off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar plays it through covers for one more.

18.11

Slower delivery, on a good length and angling into middle and leg. Jadeja advances and hits it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

R Gleeson4-1-15-3

17.61

A single to finish off an exceptional spell on debut. Richard Gleeson ends with figures of, 4-1-15-3! This is shorter and on leg stump, Ravindra Jadeja tucks it away past square leg for just a single.

17.52

Good running, easy two in the end! Full again, on middle and leg, this is worked well in front of square on the leg side for a brace. The 150 is up for India.

17.42

Sloppy from England yet again! Very full and wide, a low full toss. Ravindra Jadeja slices it towards deep point for a single and the throw from the deep is a difficult one for the keeper. Jos Buttler misses it and the batters are able to sneak in an extra run.

17.31

Good length, on middle and leg, Kumar tucks it away towards square leg for one.

17.20

A bit of yes and no but they survive. Around the top of off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar nudges it towards point and looks for the quick single but is sent back by Jadeja and rightly so.

17.11

This is dug in a bit short and on leg stump, Jadeja pulls it down to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar walks out to the middle and it will be Richard Gleeson to bowl his final over.

16.6W

OUT! CAUGHT! Chris Jordan has the last laugh and picks up his third wicket of the game. Goes short again, over middle but this time with a lot more pace behind it. Harshal Patel backs away and tries to ramp it over third man for another maximum but ends up just timing it into the hands of the fielder over there. Richard Gleeson takes a simple catch and India lose their seventh wicket.

16.56

SIX! Off the meat of the bat! Short of a length, slower and angling into the body, Patel with a short-arm jab over wide long on for a maximum. Brilliant hit.

16.40

Goes full and on off, Harshal Patel backs away to go downtown but only manages to hit it firmly towards mid on.

Pitched up right in the slot around off, Ali stays deep in his crease and looks to hammer it over mid off. Ali hits it firmly but without any sort of elevation. Rohit Sharma is on the edge on the circle and takes a comfortable catch around head height. Hardik Pandya with the golden touch yet again and England might just be done and dusted here.

14.16

SIX! Moeen Ali keeping the English hopes alive! Short of a length, on middle and leg. Ali swings it away high and towards deep mid-wicket. Virat Kohli is a bit inside and has to back peddle but the ball sails just over him for maximum.

Harry Brook survives.

The impact though seems to have been outside off and maybe there was an inside edge on it too.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brilliant take from Rishabh Pant behind the stumps and a brilliant review as well. This is on a length and pushed wider by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the keeper has been called up to the stumps for Jos Buttler who tries to slap it away but seems to have missed it. Appeal for caught behind and the keeper and bowler are sure of it. It is turned down but Rohit Sharma has reviewed it. UltraEdge shows that there is indeed a bottom edge on it. Buttler departs early yet again and Bhuvi has two quick wickets. India right on top of proceedings here.

Roy almost ends up passing the ball to Rohit Sharma at first slip who takes a sharp catch. Wicket off the first ball of the chase and England already up against it.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! Indian players make their way out to the middle. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler are the openers for England. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has a brand new ball in his hand. One slip in place. Here we go...

...THE RUN CHASE…

Right then, England have a par score to chase here. They have a powerful batting line-up and would be fancing their chances to chase this one. Indian bowlers were brilliant in the first game, can they defend this total? We shall find out.

England were put under pressure with the ball in the Powerplay but the debutant Richard Glesson brought them back in the game with three quick wickets as India were reduced to 61-3 from 49-0. Jordan was also brilliant for the second game in the row and did not allow India to take the game away from England at any point in time. Richard Gleeson and Jordan were the only wicket-takers for England taking three and four wickets respectively. The English bowlers have done quite well here and it is upto the batters now to chase this total down.

There has been a lot of talk about how India will approach T20 cricket and they have given us some solid answers in this series so far. They took the aggressive option again and started off with a bang with Pant and Rohit going great guns. Rohit departed after a breezy knock and Kohli and Pant followed him soon. However, the Indian batters did not shy away from playing their shots and despite losing wickets at regular intervals, India continued to score briskly. Jadeja made sure that he bats till the end and finished with 46 from 29 balls and that has taken India to a decent total here.

A competitive total on the board from India courtesy of a fine cameo by Jadeja in the end. However, England will go into the break as a happier side. They were much better with the ball in this game compared to the last one and have a real chance now to level this series here at Edgbaston.

Back of a length, angling into off. Dinesh Karthik looks to slap it away but mistimes it.

12.32

12.21

This is full on off. Ravindra Jadeja drives it to mid on for a single.

12.12

Lands on a length, angling into pads. Ravindra Jadeja works it towards fine leg for a couple.

A length delivery on off. Dinesh Karthik defends it solidly.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two now for Jordan! Just like Richard Gleeson earlier, Jordan will be on a hat-trick now! Back of a length, around off. Pandya looks to punch it away but the ball gets a little big on him and goes off the shoulder of his blade. It goes towards backward point and Dawid Malan takes his second catch of the game. India are in a spot of bother here!

Ravindra Jadeja is the new man in.

10.3W

OUT! CAUGHT! India lose another as Suryakumar Yadav looks to go big towards the leg side. Jordan has been brilliant with his hard lengths in this series and again he bowls this slightly shorter in length, on off. Suryakumar Yadav looks to pull it but miscues it completely. The ball goes off the top edge towards mid-wicket and Sam Curran running forward takes a fine catch. He seems to hurt himself in the process but it is not much serious and more importantly this is a big wicket for England.

10.21

Back of a length, on off. Pandya punches it to extra-cover for a single.

10.12

A length delivery on off. Pandya looks to work it towards the leg side. However, he gets a leading edge over mid off and the batters run two.

DRINKS! There has been a lot of talk about how India will approach T20 cricket and we surely have got our answers here. India got off to a flying start but the momentum was derailed a bit by Richard Gleeson, the man on debut who got three wickets in quick succession. However, Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are looking good and if they can bat together for some more runs we might see another big total from India.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Two in two for Richard Gleeson and he is on a roll! Length again, on leg stump.

The ball goes off the inside edge and Jos Buttler takes an easy catch behind the sticks. Gleeson is on a hat-trick and England making a strong comeback into the game.

Suryakumar Yadav is the next man in.

6.1W

OUT! TAKEN! An absolute stunner from Dawid Malan! This is bowled on a hard length, around off stump. Virat Kohli with a very unlike Kohli shot tries to smash it back over the bowler's head from inside the crease. The ball flies off the top edge and goes over backward point. Malan runs back quite a fair bit and takes it over his shoulders. Brilliant from Malan and Richard Gleeson has sent back Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, what a debut!

We are ready for play! The weather is lovely and the umpires are out in the middle. The English players spread out on the field as Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant walk out to open thye innings for India. David Willey has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, says they would have batted first and tells that it is a good pitch. Mentions that he has heard that a game was played here three days back in T20 Blast and they need to adapt quickly. Informs that they have four changes in the playing XI. He tells that it is important to start well and what they did in the Southampton was quite good and they want to continue that. Says that they want to play with the aggressive intent going forward and they understand that there will be failures along the way.

Jos Buttler, the captain of England, says they will bowl first because there are short boundaries and are confident of chasing. Informs that Richard Gleeson and David Willey come in for Topley and Tymal Mills. Adds that Richard Gleeson is good at the death and is excited to see him in action. Mentions that the ground id fantastic and India are well supported here too so should be a great game.

England (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (C) (WK), Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Richard Gleeson, Matt Parkinson.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli (In place of Deepak Hooda), Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK) (In place of Ishan Kishan), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja (In place of Axar Patel), Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (In place of Arshdeep Singh), Yuzvendra Chahal.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Jos Buttler. England have elected to BOWL first.

The live pictures show that Richard Gleeson, the 34-year old is getting his cap in the England team's huddle. So we will surely have one change in the England line-up and let's see how the pacer goes about his business on his debut.
