India vs England 5th T20I Highlights: IND hand ENG 150-run hiding

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India were pushed to the limits at various points in this series, especially in the fourth T20I, but not today. Moreover, England really can't do much but blame themselves, especially for the rather spectacular way in which they gave away the numerous advantages they had in that match. They had nothing today though, largely thanks to Abhishek Sharma. He has once again shown why he deserves to stay in the Indian team even if he is dismissed for low scores now and then and it will be really interesting what happens when Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal return to the side. But that is that from the T20I leg of England's tour, the three-match ODI series starts on February 6.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: He took 14 wickets at a ridiculous average of 9.85. Varun Chakravarthy is as obvious a player of the series as it can be. "I'm happy that the fielding also drew some applause, and the team has been emphasising on improving the fielding standards, and I've been working hard with the fielding coach Mr. Dilip. This is the best I've bowled, but lot of scope to improve, there were a few [bad] balls, I should not have bowled them. It was just the matter of bowling the right ball at the right time, that's what I was working on. This is very special, I would like to dedicate it to my son and my wife and my parents. I'd like to thank Surya and GG for backing me as well."

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well no surprises there. "It's a special one, coming for the country, always a great feeling. When I see it's my day, I always try to go from the first ball. And the way the coach and the captain have treated me from the first day. They've always wanted this intent, they've always backed me. When the opponents are bowling 140, 150-plus, you have to be ready a little earlier. Just react to the ball and play my shots. When you're hitting a world-class bowler over the covers [off Archer], it's aways great, but I really liked the shots against Adil Rashid as well. And the straight drive down the ground, that is something I picked from Yuvi paaji (his mentor Yuvraj Singh) Probably he should be happy today. He's always wanted me to bat into the 15th, 20th over, and I've tried to implement that."

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Shami gets Wood the very next ball and that is that! India have won this by 150 runs with nearly 10 overs to spare! This is a T20 match.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Rashid makes room and tries to flat bat the second ball from Shami in the 11th over down the ground. Top edge and an easy catch for the wicketkeeper.

Rashid c sub (DC Jurel) b Mohammed Shami 6 (6)

India 97/9 in 10.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India winning the battle on the field and in the banter lodge. Jacob Bethel looks to heave the first ball of the 10th over across the line, misses it entirely and the stumps behind him are a mess. Now if Dube ends up picking one more wicket today he can really turn around and say that he Rana is a like-for-like replacement for him.

Bethell b Dube 10 (7)

England 90/8 in 9.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Jamie Overton takes the aerial route fifth ball of that over. SKY was running back from the cover and the ball came swirling down over shoulder. He judges it perfectly, dives forward and completes a screamer of a catch. India are on fire, they can do no wrong today.

Overton c Yadav b Abhishek Sharma 1 (3)

England 90/7 in 8.5 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well of course he has taken a wicket with his very first ball of the match. It is his day. If he was keeping wickets, Abhishek would have pulled a couple of stunning stumpings and catches straightaway. Carse tried to go big down the ground, long off runs to his left and takes the catch.

Carse c Varun b Abhishek Sharma 3 (4)

England 87/6 in 8.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well, who said Dube is not as good as Rana! He has got England's best batter of the day out with his very first ball! Dube gets the first ball of the eighth to move away, Salt hacks, edge and the wicketkeeper. In case you are confused, yes that is Dhruv Jurel as Sanju Samson is injured.

Salt c sub (Jurel) b Dube 55 (23)

England 82/5 in 7.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well wickets have tumbled at the other end but Salt has kept swinging and kept finding the boundary. That is a half-century in 21 balls for Salt. He gets a rousing ovation from the Wankhede Stadium.

England 75/4 in 6.3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Chakravarthy continues in the seventh over, Livingstone takes a hack and it goes high leg side. Rinku keeps his eye on the ball and takes the catch.

Livingstone c Singh b Varun 9 (5)

England 68/4 in 6.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: And Ravi Bishnoi is the next man to get a tick on his wickets' column. Quite similar to how he fell in the fourth T20I, slog sweep goes awry and Varun takes a brilliant catch running in from deep square.

Brook c Varun b Ravi Bishnoi 2 (4)

England 59/3 in 5.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Buttler tries to go after Chakravarthy first ball, he really had no choice but to do that. Chakravarthy had dug it in Buttler skies his attempted heave and holes out at long off.

Buttler c Tilak Varma b Varun 7 (7)

England 48/2 in 4.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Phil Salt is very much in the act here. Pandya sends in a low full toss first ball of the fourth over, Salt flicks it over square leg for a six. Then Buttler gets into the act, slaps the fourth ball over cover point for a four. Single next ball and then Salt smashes the last one down the ground for a four. He is on 39 off 17.

England 48/1 in 4 overs, need 200 to win from 96

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Who takes the catch? Well, Abhishek Sharma of course. This ball was full and outside off, Duckett takes a swing but it comes off the bottom edge of the bat. Simple catch for Abhishek at cover.

Duckett c Abhishek Sharma b Shami 0(1)

England 23/1 in 2.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well England have come in with the intention to fight. Full from Shami first up, Salt sends it through extra cover for a four. The second stays full but is straighter, Salt belts it back down the ground for another four. Shami goes shorter, Salt sends that soaring into the stands over midwicket. Two runs off the next ball and then a single off the last. Wowza!

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: All right, if England can give this even a fair fight, this will turn into an absolute epic of a T20 match. Mohammed Shami steaming in for the first over, Phil Salt on strike and Ben Duckett at the other end. England need 248 to win.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India did decelerate towards the end and still scored almost 250 runs, which is how brutal they were for much of this innings. And almost all of it can be credited to Abhishek Sharma. He has broken the record for the highest score by an Indian in T20Is. Abhishek hit seven fours and as many as 13 sixes in that knock.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: They will be talking about this innings for a long time to come in this proud cricketing city. Abhishek hit sixes off the second and fifth balls of this over, he goes for another off the last but this time, it goes high up in the air. Sweeper cover takes the catch and then almost every England player to a man walks up to shake Abhishek's hands. The Wankhede goes quiet for about a millisecond before belting out chants of "Abhishek! Abhishek!" The man turns around and raises his bat as he walks off as well.

Abhishek Sharma c Archer b Rashid 135 (54)

India 237/7 in 18 oversH

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Brydon Carse comes back for his last over, Abhishek clears his front leg first ball and smashes it right over the umpire's head for a four. Two runs next two balls and then the next ball is sent high over long on for what has to surely be his 1000th six. Single next ball and then Axar Patel smashes the last ball back over the bowler's head for a four. Abhishek on 120 off 49 balls, Axar on five off three.

India 219/6 in 17 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: England have done well to make sure that India don't dominate the middle overs as much as they did in the powerplay. It was a length ball on the stumps, Rinku pushed it to covers for a single but Archer appeals and the umpire Rohan Pandit gives it! Rinku reviews and replays show that the ball seemed to graze the flap of his pad before meeting the bat. Ball-tracking showed that it had straightened a bit and so the umpire's decision stands.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: He looks at Abhishek Sharma with a wry smile before walking off, does Hardik Pandya. Mark Wood bowling the 15th over, the third ball is short and angling into the stumps and Pandya pulls it over midwicket for a six. Then Pandya whips the fourth ball powerfully and it travels to the boundary flat and in the air... only to be taken by Duckett. That ball was reaching escape velocity, that's how quick it was travelling, but it is straight down the throat of the man there.

Pandya c Livingstone b Wood 9 (6)

India 193/5 in 14.4 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Amid all the carnage, Brydon Carse has got his third wicket in his third over.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Overton comes in from around the wicket, Dube sends the first ball back over the bowler's head for a six. The second ball is sent in from over the wicket, a yorker outside off, Dube gets a thick edge which races away between the wicketkeeper and short third man. Three runs off the next three balls, with England buring a review off the fourth, and Abhishek sends the last ball one-handed over backward point for another four. He is on 106 off 42 balls, Dube on 26 off 11.

India 178/3 in 13 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India have crossed 150 in the 12th over. Archer starts off with a quick yorker as he returns to possibly snaffle Dube. The second ball is short, Dube pulls it between deep square leg and deep midwicket for a four. Archer sends in another short one, this time Dube hooks it over long leg for a six. Singles off the last three balls and Dube is on 14 off seven, Abhishek on 102 off 40.
