It was thrilling stuff from England’s new-ball bowlers, who both went over 90mph to produce the kind of hostility the hosts believed would bring success in Test cricket.<\/p>\n
The high-speed, short-pitched attack also leaves questions for the vaunted India top-order, who folded in the face of the sustained barrage.<\/p>\n
Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were all caught in the deep, square of the wicket, but the crucial moment was the fall of Sooryavanshi.<\/p>\n
In his second international, the left-hander sliced the second ball he faced, off Archer, for six over third man.<\/p>\n
With the noisy crowd falling silent every time he faced, Sooryavanshi clipped his next delivery, off Tongue, over mid-wicket for another six.<\/p>\n
But England had a plan to test him with the short ball. In Archer’s next over, he served up a 90mph bouncer that Sooryavanshi gloved to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.<\/p>\n
Before the powerplay was over, Archer also had Tilak Varma edge behind, the first time India have lost five wickets in the powerplay of a men’s T20 international.<\/p>\n
The rest was a procession. Adil Rashid took two wickets, fellow spinner Will Jacks one, while Tongue came back to record his best figures in any T20 in his second international appearance.<\/p>\n
There was a comedy moment when Arshdeep Singh skied Tongue for what seemed a simple catch, only for the ball to by left to each other by Curran and Buttler.<\/p>\n
It was the only thing England did wrong all evening. It took 70 deliveries for India to be dismissed, their shortest all-out innings in a T20.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
