Harry Brook is England's best player of spin and he said playing spin in India in T20s is the hardest part of the game. If he struggles it shows you the challenge. More spin as Axar Patel comes into the attack.

Incredibly, including a couple of super-over successes, this was India's 35th victory in their most recent 38 completed matches.

India came up with a tidy bowling display to restrict England to 165 for 9 in the second T20 International on Saturday, with Axar Patel grabbing the crucial wickets of skipper Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone.

Tilak Varma's brilliant 72 not out guided India to a thrilling two-wicket victory over England on Saturday, handing the hosts a 2-0 lead in the five-match Twenty20 International series.

Tilak Varma played a lone hand as he shepherded India across the finish line against England with an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls in the second Twenty20 on Saturday. Varma's third T20 half-century rescued India from 78-5 in the 10th over and chased down the target of 166 with four balls remaining.

This is the first time England have had India five down at the halfway stage of the innings in a T20I. Tilak Varma needs a knock here for India as he looks around the field. Boundaries are at a premium just now.
