England handed an abject India their record defeat in T20 internationals as they won the third T20I at Trent Bridge by 125 runs to storm into a 2-0 series lead.
England posted 201-7 after being inserted on what looked a belting pitch, only for India to subside to 76 all out after just 11.4 overs of a shambolic display with the bat.
Josh Tongue (4-28) and Jofra Archer (3-29) impressed in blasting out the Indian top order before Adil Rashid chipped in with 2-14 to confirm India’s largest-ever losing margin by runs.
