ENG vs IND 3rd T20I Live Commentary - Nottingham (07 July 2026)

SIX! Dumped into the stands. Tongue gets it all wrong as he serves a full toss, outside off at waist height. Abhishek stands tall and carves it over backward point for his first six.

Banged into the deck, across off. Abhishek drags the pull to the left of square leg for a single.

SIX! Clobbered! Bowled at 141 kph, a bit too full, on middle. Sooryavanshi clears the front leg and brings his wrists into play as he whips it way back over the deep mid-wicket fence.

This is even quicker at 147 kph, full and outside off. Sooryavanshi presses back and firms the drive to the left of mid off. They cross.

OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Tongue gets his radar right and strikes. Cross-seam ball, bowled into the surface, outside off. Abhishek hangs back and swings to go big on the off side. There is a bit of lift off the deck and Sharma ends up slicing it down to deep backward point, where Phil Salt takes an easy catch. India are 23/1, chasing 202.

Abhishek and India are away! Archer begins with a full ball, a bit of inward shape, on the pads. Sharma picks it up aerially over wide mid on but the ball does not have enough legs to reach the fence. Liam Dawson goes after it and hauls it in with a side. A couple of runs to start with for Abhishek.

A big swing and a miss! The length is pulled back a bit and it is angled across the left-hander. Abhishek charges down the track and stays leg side. He flays at it but fails to connect.

A beauty by Archer! Bowled on a good length, on off. Sharma stays put, looking to go down the ground but the ball cuts back in to go past the inside edge.

Into the wicket, on middle and leg. Abhishek hops and drops it with soft hands beside the strip on the leg side and takes a quick single.

Beaten for pace. At 146 kph, a well-directed short ball at the right shoulder. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi swivels for the pull, but it sails over his blade.

SIX! Flayed away! Archer bashes the hard length and pushes it across the left-hander. Sooryavanshi throws his hands at the ball, and it flies over the man at deep third for a six.
