Battle of nerves

Cameos not good enough

Ben Stokes and Jason Roy then came up with entertaining cameos but it was not enough to stop India from levelling the series for the second time. (AFP Photo)

4/10

Tensed Thakur

Shardul Thakur (3/42) looked a bundle of nerves bowling the eventful final over with England needing 23 runs for an unassailable lead. (AFP Photo)

5/10

Audacious Archer

After Chris Jordan took a single off the first delivery, Archer hit the next two for a four and a six, which seemed to rattle Thakur who followed it with two wides. (Getty Images)

6/10

Broken bat

Archer took a single off the next delivery, breaking his bat in the process, before Thakur regained his composure and dismissed Jordan before finishing with a dot ball. (AFP Photo)

7/10

Off with a six!

Rohit Sharma smashed the first ball of the match from Adil Rashid for a six but Archer (4/33) foxed him with clever change of pace to elicit a simple return catch. (AP Photo)

Rocking start

9/10

Controversial catch

Yadav smashed three sixes before Dawid Malan took a low catch at fine leg to send him back. Replays, however, suggested the ball might have touched the grass. (AFP Photo)

Useful contributions

After the test series and four T20 matches its nice to see a match so neck to neck between the two teams. Though full credit goes to Indian bowlers in depending the score for the first time in the series, I feel Rohit Sharma, as an acting captain in the slog overs has been another notable aspect that helped in Indian victory
