8pm So, that's the end of that. A fine performance from England, who need one more victory in their remaining two matches to emerge from India with a precious piece of silverware. Can India battle back? Join us in Nagpur on Sunday to find out. Cheerio.
7.52pm Right, time for some presentations. Eoin Morgan is the "bankable player of the match", which isn't quite the man of the match... But in the meantime, here's Virat Kohli.
"England played better cricket than us today, and they are deserving winners. Credit to their bowlers, they bowled good hard lengths with extra pace and bounce. We would have liked to execute that as well, but we were about 30-35 runs short on that wicket."
On Chahal: "I have a lot of confidence in him, he plays with me at RCB, and he's a youngster showing character."
Here's Eoin Morgan for a chat: "Our bowlers were outstanding tonight, Moeen Ali in particular showed great resolve. We showed a lot of experience, and Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan put their hands up in very important roles. They made it very hard for the Indian batsmen on a small ground. Sam Billings and Jason Roy did outstandingly well, Sam has taken his two chances when he's had the opportunity."
And finally, the Man of the Match is Moeen Ali for his figures of 2 for 21. Well done him. "As a bowling unit we were fantastic, Pleased to be 1-0 up with two big games to go. I took a bit of confidence from the ODIs, but just tried to bowl a length." it's a simple game when it goes well.
7.45pm Hypocaust: "Among players who've batted 5+ innings, Root has the 3rd highest average (73.50) in T20I run chases behind Hayden (133.00) and Kohli (84.90)."
Ashish Kumar: "Worst performance from Team India in long time. Can't see where this team is going? In T20 you must have young blood. Can't keep players who want to secure their place by playing a moderate innings. You must go with all guns blazing on this kind of flat track." Oh well, there's a long time yet til the next World T20. They'll get over it
7.39pm Well, that was emphatic. England have been on the wrong end of some serious beatings this winter, but pound for pound, that was as comprehensive as it gets. England take the lead in a series for the first time on their tour of India, and in doing so, they tapped back into the confidence that carried them to the World T20 final on their last 20-over campaign in the country
"It wasn't the prettiest, especially me, but we got the job done," says Joe Root. And that rather sums it up

tonked. In the slot, and hoisted over midwicket. That'll do
Rob Stow: "3 overs for 25 is a decent return so far by Bumrah given he went for 20 off his first over." Valid

Nehra to Root, no run
round the wicket, and this one ghosts through to the keeper

Nehra to Root, 2 runs
better timing this time, a hoisted pull through deep midwicket, a half-save on the boundary's edge, and just about clawed back at the second attempt
17.1
2
Nehra to Root, 2 runs
back of a length, a bit of a dirty swish across the line, and takes the outside edge through third man. A bit curious, but it really no longer matters. Looks like Root is practicing giving it some welly!

Bumrah to Root, no run
bowled him again! But it of course doesn't count. Root turns his stance inside out in pursuit of a ramp to leg, but is yorked in undignified fashion

1nb
Bumrah to Root, (no ball)
bowled him! Root aimed something expansive over the leg side, but that keeps low and sends his leg stump cartwheeling! But hang on ... what is this ... that back foot looks dangerously close to the front line. This is going to be a no-ball, I think! Indeed it is, and well, that sums up India's day. With a free hit to come

Bumrah to Stokes, no run
tapped into the off side, throughts of a single hastily aborted, and Root had pretty much given up on making his ground, except the shy from the covers clipped his heels instead of the stumps!

Rasool to Morgan, OUT
a toe-ended slog down to long-off, and India have their breakthrough! Morgan wanted to finish this in a hurry, and why not? Chasing a ball that he was never quite to the pitch of, and a fine third-wicket stand of 83 comes to an end
