With
this
India
won
both
the
T20I
and
ODI
series
in
England.

With
the
series
level
1-1,
Rohit
Sharma
won
the
toss
and
once
again
elected
to
bowl
first
against
Jos
Buttler-led
England.

Being
invited
to
bat,
opener
Jason
Roy
handed
the
hosts
a
cracking
start
as
he
hit
Mohammed
Shami
for
three
boundaries
in
the
first
over,
to
score
12
off
the
first
over.
Mohammed
Siraj,
opening
the
attack
with
Shami,
pulled
it
back
for
India
as
he
bowled
a
superb
first
over.

Siraj,
who
came
into
the
side
in
place
of
Jasprit
Bumrah
–
out
due
to
a
back
spasm,
bowl
a
wicket
maiden
as
he
picked
up
two
big
wickets.
Siraj
first
handed
India
the
big
wicket
of
opener
Jonny
Bairstow
(0)
and
Joe
Root
(0)
was
quick
to
follow
him
back
to
the
dugout.

After
losing
two
quick
wickets,
Roy
and
Ben
Stokes
steadied
England’s
innings
as
the
pair
added
54
runs
off
47
deliveries
for
the
third-wicket.
The
duo
looked
set
for
a
big
stand,
before
Hardik
Pandya
came
into
the
attack
to
hand
India
a
breakthrough.

Brought
into
the
attack
in
the
10th
over,
Pandya
picked
up
the
big
wicket
of
Roy
(41
off
31)
to
put
the
brakes
on
England
and
then
came
back
to
removed
Ben
Stokes
(27
off
29)
to
reduce
England
to
74/4
in
13.2
overs.

Four
wickets
down,
the
hosts
pushed
Moeen
Ali
up
the
order
to
No.
6
and
maintains
the
left-right
combo.

As
Ali
and
skipper
Jos
Buttler
attempted
to
rebuild
England’s
innings,
Rohit
brought
Yuzvendra
Chahal
into
the
attack
in
the
18th
over
and
the
previous
game’s
hero
got
off
to
a
good
start
as
he
conceded
just
two.
Joining
Chahal
in
the
attack
was
double-wicket
maiden
hero
Siraj.

But
skipper
Buttler
frustrated
the
Indian
bowlers
as
he
along
with
Ali,
put
up
a
fifth
wicket
stand
of
75
off
84.
Captain
Rohit
brought
Ravindra
Jadeja
into
the
attack
in
the
28th
over
and
the
bowling
change
worked
as
Jadeja
broke
the
partnership.

Jadeja
struck
in
his
very
first
over
as
Rishabh
Pant
picked
him
up
on
the
leg
side
to
hand
India
an
important
wicket
and
reduce
to
England
to
149/5
in
27.2
overs.

Captain
Buttler
kept
the
scoreboard
ticking
with
his
patient
innings.
The
England
skipper
brought
up
his
half-century
off
65
deliveries
in
front
of
his
homeground
as
he
kept
England
on
course
for
a
solid
total.

Pandya
kept
the
hosts
in
check
as
he
removed
Liam
Livingstone
for
27
off
31
to
reduce
England
to
198/6
in
36.2
overs.
Livingstone’s
wicket
made
way
for
David
Willey
–
who
top-scored
for
England
in
the
previous
game.

Willey,
once
again
added
crucial
runs
for
England
as
he
along
with
Craige
Overton
defied
the
Indian
bowlers
to
put
up
an
eighth
with
stand
of
48
off
41.
But
Chahal
handed
the
visitors
the
important
wicket
of
Willey
as
Suryakumar
Yadav
picked
him
up
at
long-off.
Willey
departed
after
a
quickfire
18
off
15.

Overton’s
quickfire
32
off
33
lifted
England
past
the
250
mark,
before
Chahal
came
back
to
finish
off
the
tailenders.
After
removing
Willey,
Chahal
finished
off
England’s
innings,
removing
Overton
and
Topley
in
the
same
over.

As
Hardik
Pandya
led
the
attack
with
4/24
and
Siraj
pocketed
three,
along
with
Chahal’s
three,
the
Indian
bowlers
put
the
visitors
on
top
as
they
restricted
England
to
259
in
45.5
overs.

Needing
260
to
win,
Reece
Topley
once
again
troubled
the
top-order
as
India
was
quickly
reduced
to
74/4.

Pandya
and
Pant
then
stitched
on
a
match-winning
fifth-wicket
stand.
The
duo
added
133
off
115
as
they
put
the
visitors
in
command.
While
Pandya
struck
a
scintillating
71
off
55,
Pant
clinched
his
maiden
ODI
century
with
a
sizzling
unbeaten
125
off
113.

Pant
finished
it
off
in
style
as
he
hit
Willey
for
five
consecutive
fours
before
a
reverse
sweep
off
Joe
Root
to
chase
down
the
target
with
47
deliveries
to
spare.

With
the
win,
India
ended
the
England
tour
on
a
smashing
note,
winning
both
the
T20I
and
ODI
series.
While
Pant
picked
up
the
man-of-the-match
award,
all
round
Pandya
was
adjudged
player
of
the
series.
