6:11 PM IST Time for some interviews as Shardul Thakur is first up for the chat. He says that it has been a fantastic victory for them.

6:10 PM IST Earlier in the game, King Kohli surprised everyone by bringing him on to open along with the Hit-Man. Both of them stitched 94-runs for the first wicket. When Rohit was going full throttle, Kohli loved playing second fiddle as Rohit Sharma brought up his fifty. Though Sharma could not continue as he departed. Then Suryakumar Yadav played a cameo by smashing a 17-ball 32. In the end, Kohli took it upon himself and along with Pandya took India to a strong total. England bowlers were found wanting on the day as they were clobbered all around the park. Mark Wood and Chris Jordan conceded 53 and 57 runs respectively. As just Adil Rashid and Ben Stokes managed to took the two wickets to fall in the Indian innings. In the end, India played better and stronger to win the series.

6:08 PM IST Brilliant bowling in the second innings on the trot by India despite the dew playing its part. If it was Bhuvaneshwar Kumar at the start then Shardul Thakur did it in the end. They used the slower balls to good effect and did not allow the English batsmen any scoring opportunity. India did look on the back foot when Malan and Buttler were going about their business but the wicket of Buttler opened the floodgates for India and then again, Shardul Thakur's double-wicket over almost sealed the deal for India and Thakur finished the last over to hand India the series. What a performance from this young Indian side. They have learned to bat aggressively, bowl aggressively and field with a class. This is the new-look side the teams would be wary of going into the T20 World Cup later this year in October.

6:07 PM IST Chasing a mammoth total of 225 runs, they needed a serious opening partnership from England openers but Roy's departure on the second ball of the chase just put them off. Though Buttler and Malan tried to keep England in the game for a major part of the innings by putting up a 130-run stand but their departure after getting to their respective milestones just robbed them off the momentum. Also, the form of Eoin Morgan hurt them big time and in the end the target looked much bigger to them as they went fighting down to concede the series to India.
