IND vs ENG Highlights, 5th T20I: England cruised to a 56-run win against India, completing their 4-0 rout and also climbing to the top of the T20I rankings. Chasing 258 runs, India were restricted to 201/8 in 20 overs. Ishan Kishan (56) and Tilak Varma (53) got half-centuries in a losing cause. Sam Curran took three wickets for England. Earlier, Jos Buttler and Harry Brook went berserk against the Indian bowling line-up, smashing sixes and fours with ease as England posted 257/3 in 20 overs. Brook remained unbeaten at 95* off 45 balls, hammering four fours and eight sixes. Meanwhile, Buttler slammed 131 off 64 deliveries, including 12 fours and eight sixes. Meanwhile, Shivam Dube took two wickets for India, dismissing Buttler and Jacob Bethell (0) in the 19th over. Prasidh Krishna removed England opener Phil Salt in the second over. Salt was caught out at deep backward square leg and departed for six off nine balls. It was a poor bowling display from Indian bowlers, with Axar Patel and Prince Yadav leaking 63 and 60 runs. Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh (33), Prasidh Krishna (38) and Suryash Shedge (39) were equally expensive. Although Dube took two wickets in his only over, he was smashed for 22 runs.

After arriving late due to traffic, Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl in Southampton. The toss was postponed to 7:30 PM and was initially scheduled for 6:30 PM.
