England secured a commanding 125-run victory over India at Trent Bridge, marking a record T20 international defeat for the visitors. Captain Shreyas Iyer described the performance as "atrocious," highlighting the team's struggle to build momentum after losing crucial early wickets.
Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue delivered a potent display of fast bowling, dismantling India's batting lineup and restricting them to just 76 runs in pursuit of England's 202. This decisive win propelled England to a 2-0 lead in the series, with two further matches scheduled.
