India blown away by England pace

July 7 : England blew away India at Trent Bridge on Tuesday to inflict a record T20 defeat on the world champions and take a 2-0 lead in the series with two matches to play.

Josh Tongue took 4-28 and Jofra Archer 3-29 as England’s pace attack powered them to a commanding 125-run victory.

India, who came into the series off the back of a 2-0 series defeat to Ireland, were bowled out for just 76 in the third T20.

"Every individual has to think by themselves and see how they can win the matches and take that responsibility."

The trouble started when Abhishek Sharma was caught for 10 at deep point by Phil Salt off Tongue.

Then 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who hit two sixes in a five-ball 13, gloved Archer to Jos Buttler who took four catches and a stumping.

India needed Ishan Kishan and Iyer to steady the ship but they departed in successive balls to catches from Jacob Bethell.

Archer had the promoted Axar Patel caught behind with the final ball of the fifth over and India were reduced to the rubble of 52-5.

"You’re bowling at world-class batters so you’ve just got to keep hitting the spot. For the most part I’m happy with how it’s coming out," said Archer, who was named player of the match.

"I enjoy bowling with Josh. I’ve bowled with him all summer, every game with him since I’ve been
