1st T20 - India v England

India won toss and field

England: 132 all out (20 overs)
Buttler 68
Chakravarthy 3/23

India: 133/3 (12.5 overs)
Abhishek 79

India won by 7 wickets.

Absolute thrashing.

A 7 wicket victory & all completed with 43 balls remaining. Not many positives for England to take away. Just one partnership of note between Buttler & & Brook & Archer was the only other to make double figures & him 2-21 made him the standout bowler.
Abhishek is yet another star off the IPL production line, a little over 6 months & a dozen matches into his International career, with a century already to his name. Todays innings cemented his reputation as an explosive batsman, his 79 coming off 34 ball with 5 fours & 8 sixes.

Saturday 25th January
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

2nd T20

India v England

India won toss and field

England: 165/9 (20 overs)

India: 166/8 (19.2 overs)
Varma 72no
Carse 3/29

India won by 2 wickets

Buttler top scoring again, others need to step up & contribute with something more substantial than 20's. Concerning that Archer went for 60 runs from his four overs, in can happen at times I guess.

4th T20

India v England

England won toss and field

India: 181/9 (20 overs)
Dube 53, Pandya 53
Mahmood 3/35

England: 166 all out (19.4 overs)
Brook 51
Bishnoi 3/28, Rana 3/33

India won by 15 runs

Series score: 3-1.

Archers last 2 deliveries of the first over goes for six & four. Saquib Mahmood into the side in place of Wood removes Samson with his first ball, Varma with his next & then dismisses SKY with the last ball of a triple wicket maiden over. Game on.

For the first time in the series England get off to a decent start but then lose 3 wickets for 5 runs, with Duckett, Salt & Butler all out. The demanding required run-rate doesn't allow for time to consolidate.
