England defeat India by 17 runs in the 3rd T20I at Trent Bridge — India win the series 2-1

[James]

This is the over

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is on 107*.

 

[Ahmed216]

Moeen ali bowling second last over??

 

[sweep_shot]

Six! SKY is killing it.

30 runs are needed from 10 balls.

 

[James]

SKY taking it deep

 

[James]

England get fielder penalty for last over

 

[James]

SKY gone

Absolute hero

 

[sweep_shot]

25 runs are needed from 8 balls.

 

[MP2011]

Great innings from SKY comes to an end.

 

[sweep_shot]

Gone.

SKY is out.

This should be the game.

 

[James]

Not over til it’s over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

But our kaptaan told he would have bowled first as well had he won the toss

That is alright. We need to chase as well. But the bowling was not good enough and fielding was bad too

 

[Rajdeep]

Amazing knock...amazing talent...a real product of IPL.

Suryakumar Yadav is India's 2nd best batsman at present

 

[MP2011]

21 needed in the last over.

 

[James]

Ali and Livingstone’s bowling in this match has been absolutely awful

 

[James]

Last over Jordan

21 to win

20 for a super over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I'm glad we came so close. Just goes to show that with better selections, we are a team that can scare even England with the bat

 

[MP2011]

Jordan to bowl the last over.

 

[James]

Looks like England had just enough runs in the end. Those final slogs from Jordan in the English innings potentially crucially important

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli with his dropped catch cost some extra runs. Also misfielded a few times. Plus useless batting. From the best T20 batsman ever for India to bonafide deadwood.

These is the kind of match where losses don't hurt. India would have gained more from this match than England one would feel.

From matchwinner to match loser

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems these guys are not trained to perform in crunch situations in IPL. The reason behind India's failure in knockout matches of ICC tournaments.

 

[Justcrazy]

SKY has played a stunning innings here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I love these overhyped statements from our fans.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali and Livingstone’s bowling in this match has been absolutely awful

They are not frontline bowlers

 

[James]

Absolutely gorgeous Yorker wicket at the end

Fantastic final ball from Jordan

ENGLAND WIN!

 

[Justcrazy]

I'm glad we came so close. Just goes to show that with better selections, we are a team that can scare even England with the bat

This is not the best English XI

 

[Rajdeep]

India won the series 2-1 against the best T20 side at their den

So much for poor quality of IPL...LOL

 

[Nikhil_cric]

England win by 17 runs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is not the best English XI

We beat the best English XI in a T20I series in 2021 as well.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great game. SKY almost pulled it off.

 

[Justcrazy]

India should be given the credit , they played well after the set back of the test match

 

[Justcrazy]

We beat the best English XI in a T20I series in 2021 as well.

In India , India is always favourite in all formats , to beat India in India you need a very special effort , because Axar becomes Shane Warne.

England best XI has to have Stokes , Mark Wood , Archer .

 

[Rajdeep]

I love these overhyped statements from our fans.

At least we are not fair weather fans who goes for hiding after 1st day of the test match just bcoz Pant scored a century

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I didn't even watch a single ball of that test live for first three days. Try again.

 

[James]

Topley 3-22 gets MotM

 

[Ab Fan]

Is this what cricket has come to?
Twenty years ago a youngster playing village cricket would have had the Mickey taken out of if he played a one handed cross batted hoik to a seamer in the 20th over of a game let alone in the second over...

Cricbuzz commentary now :-

18:15 Local Time, 17:15 GMT, 22:45 IST: Gee, this game got closer than England thought after they blew the top order away. If SKY had managed to survive that Moeen over and scored more, Buttler could have been criticized hugely for bowling an offie to right-handers for the 19th over CJ, who has been so good for the team this series. In the end it is all smiles for England as they have something to cheer in this series. <B>Pant got unlucky with an inside edge</B>. Kohli put on the aggressive avatar and smacked four, six, but was out next ball in what was a balloon-popping moment for the Indian fans.

I am not the only person who felt that he got unlucky here. He did got unlucky which happens in cricket.

He also got lucky in many of his innings including that Gabba knock but why will you highlight that?

 

[Ab Fan]

Gabba was a brave knock. Missed chances are part of the game.

Stokes knock in Headingley was iconic irrespective of how many chances he got, Lyon missed out a run out chance and there was a LBW which Paine didn't review because he ate up that. In a same way, Pant's Gabba knock is iconic. These are part and parcel of the game.

However, in today's game, Pant got unlucky with that dismissal and hence the experiment of sending him as opener should carry on as this is more of a part of the process. Hatred and jealousy is not a cure for this.

<b>England v India: Hosts win third T20 despite Suryakumar Yadav's hundred</b>

Third Vitality Twenty20, Trent Bridge

• England 215-7 (20 overs): Malan 77 (39), Livingstone 42* (29); Bishnoi 2-30

• India 198-9 (20 overs): Suryakumar 117 (55); Topley 3-22

<b>England win by 17 runs; India win series 2-1</b>

England held on for a consolation victory in the third Twenty20 against India despite Suryakumar Yadav's sensational century at Trent Bridge.

Chasing 216, the tourists were 31-3 after five overs before Suryakumar's 48-ball ton - his first for India - gave them real hope.

He dominated a partnership of 119 with Shreyas Iyer, hitting 14 fours and six sixes in an incredible display of flamboyant shots.

After wickets tumbled at the other end, Suryakumar launched an assault at the start of the penultimate over with 41 runs needed.

The first four balls yielded 16 runs but the 31-year-old mistimed his stroke looking to clear the ropes again and was caught at long-off for 117 off Moeen Ali.

Chris Jordan closed out the final over as India ended on 198-9, England winning by 17 runs and responding to heavy defeats in the first two matches.

Dawid Malan had earlier top scored with 77 from 39 balls in their 215-7.

India take the series 2-1 with the sides' attention turning to a three-match one-day international series, which starts on Tuesday at The Oval.

England needed this win after their disappointing performances in the first two games.

With India needing 185 from 15 overs and Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant back in the dressing room, the hosts looked comfortable.

What followed was anything but - Suryakumar playing one of the great innings in a losing cause.

The right-hander, often referred to by his nickname SKY, wristily took down both spin and seam.

Two drives where he opened the bat face and cleared the off-side for six defied belief.

He also swept Jordan off his stumps as he took advantage of the short Trent Bridge boundaries.

The first crucial moment came at the start of the 16th over when, with 66 needed from 30, the impressive Reece Topley had Iyer caught behind for 28.

That halted India's momentum and the wickets of Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja, both lbw to David Willey and Richard Gleeson respectively, left the match on Suryakumar's shoulders.

Moeen began the 19th over with a wide before Suryakumar cut him for four, smashed a six over long-on and hammered another cut to the fence.

India's support was raucous but when Moeen tossed the ball up again, Suryakumar was caught after miscuing off the toe of his bat.

He departed with the second-highest T20 score for India and the second-best individual total against England.

Jordan was left with 20 to defend against the tail and he did so expertly, taking wickets with two pinpoint yorkers.

England won but were given an almighty fright.

After batting failures cost England in the first two games, Malan's knock powered England on in a much-improved performance, albeit against an inexperienced attack.

After getting through the first over unscathed for the first time in the series, captain Jos Buttler chopped on for 18, Jason Roy nicked behind for an uncontrolled 27 from 26 and Phil Salt, brought in at number four to strengthen the batting, was bowled by a slow yorker from seamer Harshal Patel.

This had left England teetering at 84-3.

Malan too had a stuttering start. He chipped a drive back to Harshal in his follow-through on four only to be dropped and also could have been caught at extra cover early on.

But after finding his range he powered on, lifting the spinners over the leg side and crashing the seamers through the off.

He combined with Liam Livingstone, who ended 42 not out, for a stand of 84, which capitalised on India resting Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and replacing them with seamers Umran Malik and Avesh Khan.

Malan's knock - his first fifty in 11 T20 innings - was timely with the T20 World Cup three months away.

He fell top-edging a sweep off leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the 17th over, and Moeen Ali departed for a duck in the same fashion two balls later.

But Harry Brook's cameo of 19 from nine balls ensured England's innings did not fall away.

Credit goes too to Topley, whose three wickets cost just 22 runs in India's chase.

Ok so you think that playing a one handed cross batted hoik to a seamer in the second over is acceptable?
In that case yes he got unlucky.

Meanwhile, SKY or Rohit Sharma didn't play a cross batted hoik so I suppose they were lucky.

 

[Fenrir]

England spinners were the weak link.Four overs from Moeen and Livingstone gave 67 runs and took one wicket.Eight overs of Jadeja and Bishnoi gave 75 runs and took two wickets.

I guess there is no cure for blind f@nboyism. Kishan has peformed better than Pant in T20s. Pant has played 50 T20s, has a strike rate of 124 and Kishan has only played 18 but Pant's fans want to give him more chances on the expense of Samson, Kishan, Hooda etc. I would rather give more chances to Hooda than Pant now. Even though I don't rate him much either but at least he is a new player.

There is no cure for hatred and jealousy. Pant is the best Asian test batsman active on current form and hence he deserves the accolades coming his way. Superb talent and superb cricketer.

 

[Moiz14]

Thing is, that it's a B side batting wise and C side bowling wise of England.. Don't think India should go over the top with this t20 series win... Missing names in batting are Root, Bairstow, Alex Hales, Stokes... And in bowling department are Adil rashid, Archer, Wood, woakes, robbinnson, Saqib, Stone.... Etc... No way first choice team

You are surely blind. Read the post I was talking about T20s. If it was upto you, you would have also played Pujara in T20s. Kishan > Pant in T20s at the moment.

Hales played last match for England like 4 years ago. And when did Robinson made his limited overs debut for England?
You should be ashamed to make such statement as your full strength team was whitewashed by their C team.
