England bowled India out for 76 runs to win the third Twenty20 international by 125 runs at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The victory is India’s largest defeat in T20 internationals and gives England a 2-0 lead with two matches remaining in the five-match series. India were bowled out in 11.4 overs, their second-lowest all-out total in the format. Pace bowlers Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue shared seven wickets for England, while Phil Salt top-scored with 70 from 44 balls to help England post 201-7. Teenage batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who at 15 became the youngest player to represent India, scored 13 before being dismissed by Archer.
