England Thrash India by 125 Runs in Nottingham T20I

India handed a shellacking - England have absolutely steamrolled the tourists here in Nottingham. It was as dominant a performance as you could ask for, with the Harry Brook-led side cruising to a 125-run victory to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. It continues to go from bad to worse for Shreyas Iyer and his men on this UK tour. After a 2-0 clean sweep against Ireland, they have now suffered their biggest defeat in terms of runs in T20Is and have been rolled over for their second-lowest total in the format.

Adil Rashid to Varun Chakaravarthy, OUT! TIMBER! Done and dusted, England have handed India a real hammering, winning the game by 125 runs. Adil Rashid pushes this one through a bit quicker and fuller on middle, pushing Prince Yadav onto the back foot. Yadav looks to flick but plays all around the traditional leg break delivery and the ball beats the outside edge to smash into the stumps.

Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a sensational catch from Tom Banton, and Josh Tongue has a four-fer. Tongue hammers it in on a hard length, at around 142 kph and pushes it outside off. Harshit Rana backs away and laces the cut but hits it uppishly. Banton at backward point, springs to his left and snaffles it with both hands. India are 70/9, and England are just one wicket away from victory.

Josh Tongue to Harshit Rana, Dug in short and outside off, Rana looks to whack it leg side but gets an inside edge and the ball goes towards mid-wicket. Rana is disappointed to not have connected well here.

Adil Rashid to Harshit Rana, Plenty of air, full and outside off. Rana leans on to smother the turn and eases it to mid off for a single. Jofra Archer scores a direct hit at the keeper's end but Chakaravarthy is well in.

DRINKS BREAK! We all need a moment to process what has unfolded so far in the 9.2 overs. India have simply been blown away, and it has been a procession. India's lowest-ever total in T20Is is 74, and that record is under serious threat with only two wickets remaining. Varun Chakaravarthy walks out to bat. Harry Brook has positioned himself at slip.

Adil Rashid to Arshdeep Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! Gone this time. Adil Rashid tosses this one up, bowled from the front of the hand. Arshdeep Singh sits down to sweep again but miscues it badly. The ball lobs up around silly mid off and the keeper Jos Buttler calls for it early, and then jogs after it, pouching it safely. Number 8 down for India.

Josh Tongue to Arshdeep Singh, In the air, and lands safely! A brain-fade moment in the field for England and Arshdeep Singh survives. Josh Tongue hammers it in short over leg stump, Singh backs away and goes after it, only managing to slice it high and towards short third. Jos Buttler runs after it and so does Sam Curran from backward point. Buttler calls for it and then Curran calls for it, and in the end, they both keep looking at each other as the ball falls right in the middle. Single taken.

Josh Tongue to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That should be the final nail in the coffin, and Abhishek Sharma's face in the dug-out says it all. Josh Tongue steams in and hits the shortish length at 143 kph, over the middle stump and gets it to skid through. Shivam Dube hangs back, gets cramped for room and just looks to angle the pull behind square leg. He ends up getting an under edge through to the keeper, and Jos Buttler makes no mistake. India are now 63/7.

Gone? Jos Buttler seems to have missed a stumping chance here. Buttler isn't quite sure, and the decision is sent upstairs. The replays confirm he held on to the ball long enough to break the stumps before it slipped out of his glove. OUT flashes on the big screen.

Will Jacks to Tilak Varma, OUT! STUMPED! Oh, Jos Buttler nearly fumbled it big time, but he gets away with it. A lovely bit of drift on offer for Will Jacks as he flights it up on a length and around off. Tilak Varma skips down the pitch, looking to go over extra cover but the ball holds its line and goes past the inside edge. Buttler is a bit too eager to dislodge the bails, but replays show that Buttler did still have the ball in contact with his gloves when the bails came off, and Varma is a long way out of his crease. India are 60/6 in a chase of 202.
