Harry Brook speaks:<\/p>\n
double quotation markI thought the communication and plans going into the second half of the game were perfect. We adapted really well with the bat and knew it was a tricky surface if they hit the top of the stumps and to carry that over into our bowling performance was awesome.<\/p>\n
Phil Salt obviously played a mega innings there and Jos Buttler\u2019s little cameo in the PowerPlay got us off to a good start. We recognised early it was a tough surface to hit at the top of the stumps and there were lots of conversations between myself, Baz and the batters who had been out there. We had our plans and stuck to them.<\/p>\n
The bowlers knew exactly what they needed to do. For the next two games it\u2019s about adapting to the surfaces as quickly as possible and as a batting unit using the pitch to access different areas of the ground as well. Tonight was a perfect example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Jofra Archer is player of the match:<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019m just happy to contribute to the team. It\u2019s a lot of holding your nerve against world-class batters and you just have to keep hitting your spot. Sometimes you bowl good balls and they go for boundaries. Today I was lucky to get a wicket with a bad one as well. For the most part I am happy with how it is coming out.<\/p>\n I enjoy bowling with Josh Tongue. I\u2019ve bowled with him every game so far since I\u2019ve been back for the summer. He also passes information on to me as well, he\u2019s not a hoarder.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n A fuming Shreyas Iyer speaks: (just the x 2 \u2018awful\u2019s from him)<\/p>\n double quotation markIt was atrocious. Losing by such a big margin is definitely not acceptable. We need to accept this loss and go back to the drawing board. Looking at the wicket, I don\u2019t think it was a 200 wicket. The way we batted – losing five wickets in the powerplay didn\u2019t create momentum.<\/p>\n You can plan a lot in the team meeting, but in the ground, you need to adapt. When you are chasing 200, you need to pace your innings. We fell short in that, the execution was awful.<\/p>\n It is a great opportunity to come back strong. We have played awful cricket, but a lot of learnings from it as well. Every individual has to think about himself and take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHey Jim\u201d<\/p>\n Hello to you Farhan.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess it is safe to say what happened in Ireland did not stay in Ireland and has crossed the English channel, whatever it was.\u201d<\/p>\n This reads like the tag line to a schlocky 90s movie. But yes, the last time India lost four T20Is in a row was in 2021.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.52 EDT<\/p>\n India bowled out for 76 – England win by 125 runs!<\/p>\n Rashid bowls Varun neck and crop to seal the victory!
