England are a very confident side at the moment.
Harry Brook and Phil Salt were very good but the first seven or eight overs with the ball set the foundation again. Jofra Archer was brilliant and helped restrict India.

BBC Test Match Special commentator
England have totally outplayed India.
Sealed with a single into the covers by Phil Salt.
England have beaten India by nine wickets in Bristol with 37 balls to spare to complete the series win with one game still to come.
Wide from Arshdeep Singh. The scores are level.
Phil Salt picks off four. Two to win.
Harry Brook skies the first ball of Arshdeep Singh's final over down the ground but it plugs a few metres inside the rope.
His next strike goes the distance. Huge six over long-on.

Despite England dominating with the bat tonight, they have ridden their luck, playing 25% false shots - higher than India’s false shot percentage with the bat (19%).
Need 15 runs from 42 balls
A tight over Prince Yadav. Four singles and two dots. But it's just delaying the inevitable.

Archer gets into the World Cup spirit with clever run out
England may play a different team in Southampton in the final game. They may rest their Test bowlers - Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue - and that may give India some respite.
Need 19 runs from 48 balls
A little bit of chaos in the middle for England. Shreyas Iyer produces a sharp bit of fielding inside the ring, making a flying stop. Harry Brook, a couple of paces down from the non-striker's, had given up on making his ground but the throw at the stumps is wild.
Phil Salt indicates he couldn't hear Brook calling.
Brook swings hard at the final ball of the over and top-edges it over the wicketkeeper for four.

34 balls... how pedestrian...
Eng 135-1

51 off 34 for the opener.
Need 28 runs from 54 balls
Phil Salt picks up a boundary with a sliced edge through the vacant slip region. Arshdeep Singh, annoyed, turns on his heels and marches back to his mark.
11 off the over.
Salt, retaining the strike with a single, is three runs away from his half-century.
How about this from Jofra Archer to finish India's innings with a wicket?

Bristol is comfortably the hardest place in the country to bowl spin in T20I cricket.
Spinners average 37 in Bristol with an economy rate of 8.6 - both are the highest for any ground in the country to host a T20I.

Need 39 runs from 60 balls
Harry Brook rattles off another couple of boundaries. His second four of the over is well-placed along the floor in between deep mid-wicket and long-on.
Two wides from Shivam Dube don't help India's cause either.

England have got themselves in to a great position here. No need for shock and awe but can they resist and show maturity, batting sensibly through to the death?
Simon Bland, Wadhurst
Not sure we're going to get to the death at this rate, Simon.
England need 54 runs from 66 balls and have hit 37 runs off the past two overs.
Eng 105-1
Image source, Getty ImagesIt goes from bad to worse for India.
Abhishek Sharma put in a good dive as he attempted to stop a drive from Harry Brook but can only watch in agony as his parried effort trickles into the rope.
And then, a simply humongous six to bring up Brook's half-century off just 21 balls.
