Despite some big hits in the last over, where England picked 20 runs, they have fallen short by 36 as India have clinched the series decider by 36-runs to win the five-match series 3-2. As Virat Kohli mentioned, "it was a clinical performance". Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli starred with the bat while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur led the way with the ball. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya too played their parts.

In a game that promises to end with a near-combined score of 400, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has finished with exceptional figures of 2 for 15.

WICKETEoin Morgan becomes the latest victim of India's slow-ball ploy. Miscues a hit off Hardik Pandya and is out caught. The chase has totally gone off track.142/5 in 15.3 overs

WICKETShardul Thakur bags another wicket. Dawid Malan is cleaned up in his attempt to go for a big slog. Game-changing over for India.142/4 in 15 overs.
