51 ball century and India is just helpless..
England have produced a sensational batting display to post a daunting 257/3, putting India under immense pressure. After losing Phil Salt early, Jos Buttler and Harry Brook completely flipped the script with a breathtaking partnership that left the Indian bowlers searching for answers.
Brook set the tone with a blistering 19-ball fifty before finishing unbeaten on 95, while Buttler accelerated brilliantly after a steady start to smash a magnificent century. India's woes were only worsened by a sloppy outing in the field, with multiple dropped catches proving extremely costly as England made the hosts pay in ruthless fashion. A huge chase awaits India after the break.
Here we go! Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma walk out to the middle, with a daunting 258-run target staring them in the face. Samson will take first strike, while Jofra Archer has the new ball in hand. Fasten your seatbelts, this chase is about to get underway.
Sanju Samson gets a slice of luck to end the over with a boundary. Archer finds some movement off the seam, Samson is beaten by the line while defending, but the outside edge flies safely past the keeper. With third man inside the ring, there was no stopping that one. India close the opening over with a handy four.
Jofra Archer has drawn first blood, and it's a massive blow for India! The extra pace and bounce does the trick once again as Abhishek Sharma pokes at a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, only to feather an edge through to Jos Buttler.
A simple catch behind the stumps, and England have the perfect start to defending 257. Abhishek departs for just 3 off 5, and India are under early pressure.
Sanju Samson is looking to keep India in the hunt! Will Jacks overpitches, and Samson doesn't need a second invitation. He drills it straight back over the bowler's head and clears mid-off. Not quite off the middle, but it had enough on it to bounce just inside the ropes before crossing the boundary. India pick up another much-needed four.
Sam Curran makes an immediate impact! He keeps it simple with a good-length delivery angling across, and Sanju Samson can't make the most of his aggressive intent.
Looking to force it through or over the off side, Samson only manages to slice it off the outside half, and Jacob Bethell makes no mistake at cover-point. After a quickfire 27 off 14 balls featuring three fours and two sixes, Samson walks back, leaving India two down in this steep chase.
That's some welcome intent from Ishan Kishan! Curran drifts one into the hips on a short-of-length, and Kishan is all over it. He swivels into the pull and absolutely nails it over backward square leg. Picked the length early, trusted the swing, and sent it soaring into the crowd. That's a statement shot!
That's a classy response from Shreyas Iyer! Will Jacks drops it short and wide, and Iyer is in no hurry. He hangs back, waits for the ball to arrive, and then flat-bats it straight down the ground. It doesn't quite carry all the way on the full, but one bounce is enough before it crashes into the ropes. Confident, controlled, and four more for India.
Just when India needed another big partnership, Liam Dawson strikes! Shreyas Iyer charges down the track looking to take the left-arm spinner on, but Dawson keeps it full and straight.
The result? A thick leading edge that balloons high towards backward point, where Sam Curran settles under it with ease. Iyer's brisk 28 off 16, featuring four boundaries, comes to an end, and England tighten their grip on this chase.
Tilak Varma comes to the crease.
A fighting half-century for Ishan Kishan, his first fifty of the tour, but there's barely a moment to acknowledge it with the asking rate still soaring. He pulls Dawson hard towards long-on and looks set for more, only for Tom Banton to produce another brilliant piece of fielding, sliding across to cut it off and save two crucial runs. Kishan gets to the milestone, but India need plenty more from him.
England have another, and this could be the decisive blow. Adil Rashid tempts Ishan Kishan into the slog sweep, but he doesn't get enough distance.
The ball hangs up towards deep midwicket, where Phil Salt covers plenty of ground to his left before completing a superb sliding catch on his knees. Kishan's valiant 56 off 35 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes, comes to an end, leaving India's already daunting chase in even deeper trouble.
Sam Curran has struck again, and India's hopes are fading fast. He bangs it in short, Shivam Dube goes for the pull, but can't keep it down or find the gap. The ball hangs up towards deep square leg, where Jofra Archer makes no mistake with the catch. Dube's brief stay ends at 14 off 10 balls, and England move another step closer to victory.
Tilak Varma isn't giving up just yet! Josh Tongue rolls his fingers over a slower ball, but it's right in the slot. Tilak stays balanced, swings through the line, and launches it straight back over the bowler's head. Clean connection, and it sails comfortably over the ropes for a maximum.
England signed off in style with a commanding 56-run victory over India in Southampton, sealing a 4-0 series sweep and climbing to the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men's T20I rankings.
Jos Buttler led the charge with a breathtaking 131 off 64 balls, while Harry Brook blasted an unbeaten 95 off 45 as the pair stitched together a record 233-run partnership to power England to 257/3.
India never seriously threatened the towering target despite spirited half-centuries from Ishan Kishan (56) and Tilak Varma (53), eventually finishing on 201/8.
Sam Curran starred with the ball, claiming 3/36, while Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson chipped in with key wickets to cap off a dominant all-round performance from the hosts and complete a forgettable tour for India.
