ENG vs IND Live Score

6:14 PM IST The captain of India - Shreyas Iyer says there are plenty of lessons for India to take away from the series, highlighting the importance of understanding conditions, raising awareness and adapting quickly. He believes this was the best batting surface of the series, but adds that the constantly changing conditions demand a different approach from the players. The Indian skipper stresses that communication is key, with the team needing to identify where they could have done better. He also admits fielding remains a major area of concern, especially in overseas conditions with varying ground dimensions. Iyer feels the dropped catches proved costly, believing a target of around 220-225 would have been within reach. Reflecting on the chase, Iyer says India lost wickets in clusters and focused too much on chasing the asking rate instead of building partnerships. He adds that the batters need to target specific bowlers while giving themselves time at the crease. Praising England's performance, Iyer says their execution was spot on, with Jos Buttler playing a sensational innings before Harry Brook's partnership shifted the momentum decisively in the hosts' favour.

Mentions that their focus was simply on putting the team in the best possible position to defend a big total, and he felt they batted brilliantly together. Brook says cricket is a simple game, and it is players who tend to overcomplicate it. His approach was to play each ball on its merit, and he was pleased with the way he struck the ball throughout the innings. He adds that he is in a really good place with his game at the moment. Mentions that he is delighted that they have achieved their goal of climbing to number 1 in the rankings. Brook believes that using spin forces batters to generate their own pace and makes them think a lot more at the crease. Harry opines that England's communication as a side has been excellent not just in this series, but over the past 10 to 12 months, and feels that it has played a significant role in the team's success.

6:05 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Jos Buttler wins the award for his scintillating knock of 131 off 64. Buttler says he is delighted to be back among the runs after a lean patch.
