Phil Salt top-scored for England with 70 off 44, while Sam Curran made 41* off 24 as Josh Tongue took 4-28 and Jofra Archer took 3-29 to rip through the chase.

India’s collapse left the world champions effectively unable to reach the target of 202, and the result gave England a 2-0 lead with two matches in the five-match series remaining.

The BBC described the pace as “over 90mph” and said the short-pitched attack ensured India’s top order “never got to grips with a chase of 202.”

In the same match, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was bounced out for 13 as part of Archer’s 3-29, and England’s win margin of 125 runs was India’s largest defeat in a T20 international.

After the defeat, India captain Shreyas Iyer said, “It was atrocious,” adding, “We played awful cricket.”

Iyer told Sky Sports, “Losing by such a big margin is definitely not acceptable,” and said, “We’ve played awful cricket for sure.”

England captain Harry Brook framed the response around adaptation, insisting, “Sometimes when you play a high‑risk, high‑reward game these things can happen, you get bundled out,” while also saying, “That’s what has made us successful and we’ll try to continue to play the same way.”

Brook also praised Salt’s innings as “a mega innings,” and the BBC noted that Archer and Tongue both went “over 90mph” to keep pressure on the India top order.

With the series now at 2-0, the BBC said England “would win it with victory in the fourth match in Bristol on Thursday,” setting the next contest immediately in view.

The BBC reported that England cannot lose the series and would win it with victory in the fourth match in Bristol on Thursday, after their 125-run win at Trent Bridge.

England’s dominance was underlined by the BBC’s account that India were bowled out in only 11.4 overs for 76, their second-lowest all-out total in T20 cricket.

The Sky Sports match report said England took an unassailable 2-0 series lead with two to play, and it pointed to the fourth T20I in Bristol on Thursday as the next opportunity to seal the series.

In the same Sky Sports report, the chase was described as “a shambolic display with the bat,” after England posted 201-7 and then restricted India to 76 all out in 11.4 overs.

With the next match scheduled for Bristol on Thursday, the BBC’s narrative also emphasized that Archer and Tongue ensured India “would not get close,” leaving the remaining fixtures framed by the record margin and the series lead.
