ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Player of the Series: Bhuvneshwar Kumar

 

India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was adjudged as the Player of the series for his brilliant bowling performances in the first two T20Is which India won to finally win the series 2-1. Bhuvi picked four wickets by giving away just 25 runs in the six overs that he bowled at an outstandingly unbelievable average of 6.25 and was one of the main architects of India’s victory.

ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Player of the Match: Reece Topley

 

It was surprising that Suryakumar Yadav, who played a brilliant innings of 117 off just  55 balls was not named Player of the Match. Rather it was Reece Topley of England, who too did bowl well, giving away just 22 runs in his three overs to pick up three crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer at very important junctures, who was given the award.

ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Live Updates: Match Summary

 

Suryakumar Yadav hit a brilliant 117 and almost guided India home, but had little support from others as England won the game by 17 runs to salvage some pride. 

 

It was a great start from England early on in the day as they reached fifty in the powerplay after winning the toss and deciding to bat first. Though neither Jos Buttler nor Jason Roy did well to stay at the crease for a long time, Dawid Malan (77 off 39 balls) made sure that England would get past 200 and he was well supported by Liam Livingstone (42* off 29 balls) and Harry Brook (19 off 9 balls). 

 

In the defence of their total, the English bowlers started on a great note as well and removed India's top three for only 31 runs on the board in the first five overs. It was after that the Surya storm started to develop and threatened to take the game away from the hosts. He added 119 for the fourth wicket along with Shreyas Iyer. But once Iyer goit out, wickets fell regularly and Surya, after reaching his maiden hundred, was tasked to get 41 off the last two overs with Harshal Patel to support him. 

 

The Mumbai Indians player did well to get 16 off the first four balls but got out on the fifth ball trying to accelerate. And India eventually finished the innings at 198/9.

Chris Jordan is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Jordan starts with a yorker and Avesh Khan takes a single to get Harshal back on strike

 

Ball 2 Harshal has the advantage of having only four fielders patrolling the boundary due to slow over-rate. But here he has refused a single it seems 

 

Ball 3 Once again, a very tight yorker and that would be a dot ball too. Now 20 needed off the last three balls  

 

Ball 4 Wicket!! Tried to play the ramp shot did Harshal, but hit it straight to the fielder at fine leg and he has to walk back now 

 

Ball 5 Ravi Bihsnoi carves the first ball he gets for two runs to deep extra cover 

 

Ball 6 Wicket!! Brilliant finish by Jordan as he bowls the yorker and removes Bishnoi to put a cherry on top of a great game for England. Buttler finally has a win under his belt

Reece Topely is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Wicket!! That is an amazing ball as Topley follows Iyer who wanted to make room by going outside leg and managed to get only an edge to Buttler behind the stumps. The 119 stand for the fourth wicket is finally broken 

 

Ball 2 Great first ball to Karthik as hit beats him on a poke 

 

Ball 3 Once again a short of length ball going away from Karthik. Another dot ball 

 

Ball 4 Dot again. This time around Karthik got the bat on the ball but hit straight to the fielder 

 

Ball 5 Guided to third-man for a single by Karthik to get off the mark

 

Ball 6 Four!! Just can’t keep Surya quiet, can you? Outside off and Surya lashes on to it and hits it over backward point for a four

ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Live Updates: Suryakumar Yadav is skyrocketing

 

Chris Jordan is into the attack

 

Ball 1 That would be wide down the leg to start with

ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Live Updates: Big over for India

 

Liam Livingstone is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Six!! Once again the pick-up shot from Surya. Goes on one knee and hits it over the fine leg 

 

Ball 2 Hit hard to long-off for a single by Surya 

 

Ball 3 Six!! Is that out of the ground? Iyer comes down the ground and picks the ball of its pitch and gets a huge six

 

Ball 4 Attempted reverse sweep from Iyer, fails to connect

 

Ball 5 Pulls the length back and that would be just a single. Oh my god! This has been called a no-ball

 

Ball 5 Free Hit!! Short of a length and Surya dispatches this over mid-wicket for a huge six  

 

Ball 6 A huge appeal for stumping but England doesn’t go for the review. Umpire has and it looks all safe though. 

 

Review coming up and there are no signs of edge on the ultra edge and the foot is inside the crease too, so it will just be a dot ball. 

 

India Live Score 117-3 after 13 overs

Ball 2 Once again back of a length and Iyer plays it to mid-off for a single 

 

Ball 3 Very well done by Jason Roy at deep mid-wicket as he has restricted  good shot to just one run

 

Ball 4 Is that a catch? Not at all, it just went over the stumps, although the bowler looked a lot interested. 

 

Ball 5 Pulled away for a single by Iyer 

 

Ball 6 Brilliant last ball from Topley and that would be just six runs from the over 

 

India Live Score 96-3 after 12 overs
