Jasprit Bumrah seals India win over England to level T20 series

England fall five short of India total

India have claimed a five-run win over England in their second Twenty20 international to level the three-match series.

With the tourists needing eight to win in Nagpur, Bumrah removed Joe Root and Jos Buttler, and conceded only two runs.

There was controversy, however, as umpire Chettithody Shamshuddin gave Root lbw to the first ball of the final over, even though he had inside edged Bumrah onto his pad.

Ben Stokes (38) looked to be taking England to their target of 145 before falling lbw to Ashish Nehra (3-28).

KL Rahul earlier hit 71 from 47 balls to take India up to 144-8 despite a fine England bowling effort led by Chris Jordan (3-22).

The deciding third match takes place in Bangalore on Wednesday.
