ENG vs IND 2nd T20I Live Score - Manchester (04 July 2026)

At 140 kph, on a good length, targeting the off pole. Kishan chops it down to deep third for a single.

Not in control but Dube gets away with it. A well-directed short ball at 142 kph, over the left shoulder. Dube is late in deciding whether to duck or take the short ball on. He ends up taking his eyes off the ball and swings away. It lands safely in the vacant mid-wicket region for a single.

On a back of a length, wide on off, thumped to deep cover for a single by Ishan.

How did that miss the stumps? Cross-seam ball at 140 kph, on a good length, on middle and leg. Dube leaves nothing in the tank and swings for the hills but misses. The bounce takes it over the leg stump.

Hard-length ball, on off, cranks it up at 145 kph. Dube swats it back past the bowler to his right and takes a single.

FOUR! A boundary off the final ball spoils what was turning out to be a quiet over from Archer. Jofra goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a low full toss, around off. Kishan makes room to force it through the off side. Gets an outside edge and it races past short third in a flash.

Flighted delivery, drifting in at the leg stump. Dube wrists it behind square leg and picks up a single.

Shorter and this spins away a fair bit, on off. Kishan smears it off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for one.

Slower but the length stays short, on middle. Dube stays deep in the crease and ends up swinging a bit too hard for the pull. Mistimes it down to long on for a run.

At 94 kph, speared in shorter and tucking the batter up for room. One hand comes off the bat handle and Ishan does not get the timing right on the pull. It goes through mid-wicket for only a single.

And again. Jacks keeps it flat and short, on middle. Shivam goes hard on the pull but loses his shape. It dribbles to long on for the fifth single of the over.

Six singles off the over. Tidy stuff by Jacks. Fractionally short, on middle. Kishan hammers the pull straight to deep mid-wicket.

Huge swing and a miss! Length delivery at 129 kph, outside off. Ishan looks to smoke it downtown, but misses as the ball keeps leaving him.

WIDE! Dishes out the slower one at 116 kph, on a length, but this is pushed beyond the tramline. Ishan stays where he is and leaves. Wide called.

He was trying to dump that in the Theatre of Dreams which is under construction. Short of a length, outside off, Ishan Kishan swings hard to smash it down the ground, but the ball bounces and nips away to zip past the bat.

This is really good bowling by Curran! The back-of-the-hand slower one, on a length, into the body. Ishan Kishan swivels to pull but the ball pops behind off the thigh pad and rolls back to the keeper.

At 130 kph, short and outside off. Ishan stands tall to pull it across to the leg side, but ends up getting an inside edge, and the ball dribbles back to Buttler.

And again! No timing at all. Kishan is itching to get going. Back of a length, around off. Ishan hangs back and looks to pull, but gets an inside edge past the stumps to the right of the keeper for a single. So far, so good from Curran. 11 balls since the last boundary for India. 

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! Curran caps off a brilliant over with a well-deserved wicket. This is fuller and outside the off stump. Dube gets on the front foot and tries to smack it down the ground, but ends up slicing it off the toe end. The ball spoons up over and between cover and mid off. Tom Banton moves a bit to his left, sees the ball like a hawk and takes a fine catch. Dube never really got going in his painfully short stay. India are 146/4, four overs left.

Touch full, spinning in from off. Ishan Kishan sits down to sweep, but gets an inside edge on the pads. There was an appeal for LBW, but nothing doing.

 FOUR! Nicely done! Flat, quick, full, on middle, angling in. Ishan picks the length early and nails the reverse sweep to deep backward point for a boundary. The 150 is up for India.

A stifled appeal for LBW, but not given. Going over the stumps? Brook suggests so. Fuller in front of the middle and leg stumps. Ishan looks to sweep, but the ball bounces over his bat and hits his body. Ball Tracking later shows that the ball is pitching outside the leg stump as well.

Short and drifting in. Ishan Kishan rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

On a length, sliding in towards the leg stump. Tilak backs away and dabs it towards deep point for one.

Shortish ball at 93 kph, Ishan comes forward and drags it across to deep mid-wicket for a single.

 FOUR! Absolutely belted away! Full and outside off. Kishan moves towards the off side, sits on his back knee and smacks it over extra cover, finding the gap for a boundary.

OUT! TAKEN! Curran picks up his third wicket and England are really turning on the screws on India now. Fuller side of a length, around off, at pace. Ishan Kishan goes deep in the crease and tries to launch it over long off but the bat twists at the point of contact and the ball is sliced toward extra cover. A simple catching practice for Liam Dawson there. Kishan falls one short of his half century. India are 157/5, 16 balls left.

WIDE! Short and over the batter's head. Axar ducks. Wide given for height.

At 128 kph, full and outside off. Axar lofts it inside out over cover-point for only a single.

Nearly the fourth wicket for Curran! He bowls the slower one at 109 kph. The length is full and it is aimed at the stumps, angling into the batter. Tilak gets a bit across and tries to pick it up and over deep square leg, but plays off the inner half of the bat. The shot has no power, and it sails towards deep square leg, where Jofra comes a bit forward and has to really stretch his hands forward to scoop the dipping ball. He is not sure whether he completed the catch, and he himself requests to get it checked. The decision is sent upstairs to check the legality of the catch while Archer gets his fingers taped up after grazing them on the ground. After checking several replays, it is deemed that the ball burst through his hands and bounced on the ground. Now, there is another delay to check whether the batters completed the run or not. Eventually, it is called a dot ball.

Skids through on off, on a length. Axar stabs it through backward point for a single.

On a length, around off, this is jabbed away to deep point for a single. Excellent spell from Curran. He finishes with figures reading 3/32 in 4 overs.

Tongue follows Varma who dances down the track and bashes it on a length, angling into the batter. Tilak is cramped up for room and steers it to deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

Hard length, on off, Tilak Varma backs away and carves it behind to short third and they get a quick single.
