"You don't become a bad team after four games. Sometimes, if the opposition plays better than you... sometimes you don't assess the conditions better, you don't read the conditions better. Reading the game is equally important as well. We haven't done that since Ireland".

This venue has hosted 21 T20 matches with 10 games won by sides batting first and 11 won by teams chasing. Average 1st innings score at this ground is 158.

Shreyas Iyer's luck with the toss continues as he wins and opts to bat first.

Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy have been injured as Shreyas said at the toss and are replaced by Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna.

It's a sunny day in Bristol and India will look to make the most of it. Abhishek Sharma & Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are out in the middle as they eye a fast start against the pace of Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue.

Great start for the Indian team in Bristol. Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi have taken IND to 20 for no loss in the first two overs. 15 runs came off Josh Tongue's as the visitors look for a positive start.

India's torrid time at the crease continued in Bristol as they lost Ishan Kishan and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi inside the PP yet again. The visitors, who need to win this match, have again started on a bad note and have increased the pressure back on their middle-order.

IND are losing the plot and that could cost them the match and series. Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for 16(14) by Adil Rashid as the hosts snared up the third wicket.

Shreyas Iyer is batting nicely for Team India along with his Mumbai teammate, Shivam Dube. India need their captain to stay till the end and take them to a decent score. The hosts are right on top and another couple of wickets and the game could swing in their favour.

India's current run-rate is 7.15 and if they are to go above 150 then they must achieve that at 10 rpo. Shivam Dube has looked good but he is unable to find that delivery to hoist it out of the park. Shreyas is middling it nicely and has put the odd delivery to the boundary.

Shivam Dube could not change gears as the all-rounder was outfoxed by Will Jacks as England picked up their fourth wicket. India's batting is in a disarray and now have to rely on Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma to take them to a big total.

It's pretty clear that the Indian batters have not come prepared for this tour. Short ball has been their undoing right throughout the series and it has showed once again today. Tilak Varma was the latest batter to depart to a short delivery and has left too much to do for Shreyas.

Absolutely brilliant bowling by Sam Curran as he concedes four runs in the 19th over. India will be feeling the heat now as they cannot get towards 170 unless Shreyas has other ideas.

8 runs come off the final two overs as India finish up with 158 in what was a total masterclass bowling from the hosts. Jofra Archer and Sam Curran bowled nice cutters to behoove the Indian batters. Apart from Shreyas, none of the Indian batting lived up to the name.

The slowness of the pitch is telling as ENG have just scored 7 runs in the first two overs. IND bowlers have been brilliant and not allowed a 'freebie' to the likes of Jos Buttler and Phil Salt.

Arshdeep Singh had the last laugh as he removed Jos Buttler after being taken down for a six on the earlier delivery. England are moving nicely though, as they look to chase down a modest target of 159.

England need 97 runs in 84 balls and are looking quite comfortable out there. Unlike the Indian batters, Harry Brook and co have not got any delivery that has deceived them. To make matters worse, Indian bowlers have been guilty of bowling no-balls.

India are in danger of being blown away here against England. Their bowling seems timid as like their batting. Washington concedes 19 runs in his first over with the pressure piling on Shreyas Iyer.

England are now 39 runs away from sealing the series. Harry Brook has blown away the IND bowlers like its a tennis ball. Indian players look deflated and it will be a matter of time before England complete the formalities.

India receive a humbling at the hands of Harry Brook and England in Bristol. This has been England's first T20I series victory over the Men In Blue in the bilateral series. Shreyas Iyer's search for his first victory as captain goes on as the visitors go down by nine wickets. Moreover, the series is also lost.

Again it was a disappointing one. 158 wasn't the perfect total on the board. Eventually we saw how quickly they chased it down. When we came onto bowl I just asked the bowlers to repeat the lengths as much as possible. Top of middle and leg was difficult to score off. We fell short on our execution. Definitely happy with my performance but if it's not in a winning cause.. This is a transition phase and we will be making mistakes. Have to realise how important it is to adapt. I'm sure there are quick-learners in the team and they will assess themselves.

That was good fun tonight. Always good to beat India. To beat them 3-0 with one game to go... very happy. Two things stand out for sure - the way we've adapted to the surface and the communication from the coaches to the players and vice-versa. These two things have stood out. Jofra and Tongue again, like a house on fire. Will be pretty cool to be world No.1 - definitely an aim for us. Felt good (with the bat). Again, it's some conversations with the coaches, try to figure out where to hit the ball in the ground. We've got so much depth in the batting lineup. We brought Rehan in today. Backed our batting to win us the game.
