IND vs ENG Highlights, 2nd T20I: Player-of-the-match Jacob Bethell's 76 not off 46 balls help England win by four wickets with six balls to go at Manchester. Ravi Bishnoi's three no-balls and two free-hit sixes cost India (190/7) dear. England lead the five-game series 1-0 at Manchester. Jofra Archer hit the winning runs. The match hung in the balance when Bishnoi came on to bowl the 17th over of the innings. He gave away 29 runs as Bethell hit him for three sixes. The game was over there. Shreyas Iyer blamed the 17th over for the defeat. “I was like, okay he's going to come back strong [after the first no-ball in Bishnoi's first over earlier]. But the 17th over haunted us. But he'll learn,” the Indian captain said. Both parties now travel to Trent Bridge for the third game on Tuesday.A good stand between Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton has brought England back into the game. Varun Chakaravarthy has been a disappointment in his two overs so far. If India go on to lose this, his bowling will be one of the reasons for that. Ravi Bishnoi has not been great either. He even bowled a no-ball in his first over, which is nothing short of a crime, especially for a spinner. Just as we finished writing all that, Arshdeep Singh returned to remove Banton.England 61/3 after the powerplay. Arshdeep Singh picked up two wickets, those of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, in the first over but then conceded 27 in his second over. Harry Brook treated him with utter disdain. Axar Patel's wicket of Brook (39 off 15 balls) has changed the complexion of the game. India should fancy their chances from here.India finish on 190/7. Thanks to Tilak Varma's two sixes and a four in the last over bowled by Jofra Archer, India put a competitive total on the board. But overall, it was a disappointing batting performance from India. Abhishek Sharma (43), Shreyas Iyer (37) and Ishan Kishan (49) were the only ones who could contribute. Debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 14 off 10 balls. Sam Curran bowled really well and took three wickets. Now India will have to bowl well to win this contest.After losing both their openers, India now rely on their captain Shreyas Iyer and No.3 batter Ishan Kishan to take them to a good total. One of them has to bat long for that to happen. England stage a nice comeback after conceding quite a few runs early on.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's innings comes to an end. He scores 14 off 10 balls. He is out stumped. Will Jacks does the job in his very first over, fifth of the innings. India 50/1 after five overs. Abhishek Sharma is unbeaten on 30 off 19 balls at the other end. Sooryavanshi's fans would be disappointed for sure.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (15 years and 99 days) is the youngest player to represent Team India, leaving the great Sachin Tendulkar (16 years and 205 days) behind. What a year it has been for him so far. Under-19 success, IPL success, India A success and now India debut. However, we don't yet know who he has replaced for this game. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and decide to have a bat. Now we have the word out, Sanju Samson has been dropped. Here are the playing XIs.India: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun ChakaravarthyEngland: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w), Harry Brook(c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Josh TongueAhead of the second T20I against England at Old Trafford, once again the big question stares fans in the face: will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally make his debut for India?If one goes by what bowling coach Morne Morkel said on the eve of the match, the 15-year-old star will have to wait longer. But since there is so much pressure on the team management to play him, they might succumb to it.The first T20I at Chester-le-Street had been abandoned due to rain on Wednesday after India put 189/7 on the board. The Indian team is under tremendous pressure to do well in this series after losing to Ireland in the preceding two T20Is.
