Overview
- England completed a series-clinching nine-wicket win in Bristol on Thursday as Harry Brook and Phil Salt chased 159 in 13.5 overs to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.
- Brook and Salt put on an unbeaten 146-run partnership with Brook scoring 79 and Salt 59 to finish the chase with 37 balls to spare and hand England their first bilateral multi-match T20 series win over India.
- India posted 158 for 7 in Bristol with captain Shreyas Iyer unbeaten on 80 but the result continued a wider slump that includes a 2-0 loss in Ireland and five defeats in six completed T20s.
- The tour has been disrupted by the absence of rested senior players Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya plus series-ending hamstring injuries to Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana, which the BCCI said it will review after the England tour ends on July 19.
- India Women face a late change before the one-off Lord's Test after Pratika Rawal was ruled out and Priya Punia was named as her replacement for the match starting July 10.
