England secure the fourth T20I against India in Bristol with a nine-wicket win, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series with one match remaining. India post 159 for 1, with Shreyas Iyer making an unbeaten 80 described by multiple reports as the main contribution for the batting side. England’s chase is led by Harry Brook, who scores an unbeaten 79 off 35 balls, and Phil Salt, who makes 59. Their partnership is highlighted across reports, including a 146-run stand that turns a moderate target into a comfortable success. England lose Jos Buttler early for eight, but Brook accelerates after reaching his start, and the chase is completed with 37 balls remaining. Several outlets also note England’s broader dominance in the series, describing this match as another one-sided contest in which India struggle with batting, fielding, and bowling discipline. The win gives England their first-ever T20 series victory over India and positions them to move up in the ICC T20I rankings if they win the remaining match in Southampton.

Timid with the bat, poor in the field, error-prone with the ball and swift to accept the inevitability of defeat, this was a complete horror show from the world champions and a performance of complete dominance from Harry Brook’s burgeoning team, who won by nine wickets and will overtake their opponents as world No1 if they win the final game of the series in Southampton on Saturday.Two days earlier it was England’s bowlers who shredded their opponents on their way to a 125-run win at Trent Bridge. This time, well as their bowlers performed to limit India to 159, it was their batters – and one of them in particular. Chasing an obviously under-par total, England started slowly and awkwardly and Jos Buttler was dismissed early for eight – the former captain’s form is a genuine issue, and he has not scored an international half-century in this format since the Old Trafford runfest against South Africa last September, a run of 18 innings in which he has averaged just 15.16.
