PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Jos Buttler wins the award for his scintillating knock of 131 off 64.

Presentation Time...

Hosts delivered the final blow - England had a mountain of runs to defend, and Jofra Archer once again struck early to remove an opener, continuing his superb run in the series. Sam Curran then struck with the first ball of his spell and finished as the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/36 to leave India firmly on the back foot. Although a couple of partnerships offered hope, England stayed patient, with Liam Dawson dismissing Shreyas Iyer at a crucial stage, while Josh Tongue also chipped in despite an expensive outing. The hosts dropped a couple of catches, but unlike India, it did not prove costly. Adil Rashid also marked his 150th T20I appearance with two wickets as England sealed a convincing victory.

England unleashed a record-breaking assault - Earlier in the game, England produced a batting masterclass, powering their way to their highest-ever first-innings total against India. Harry Brook and Jos Buttler led the charge with a record 233-run stand for the second wicket - England's highest partnership for any wicket against India in T20Is. Buttler ended his lean run with a superb 131, while Brook remained unbeaten on a blazing 95 off just 45 balls. India's bowlers were taken apart, with only Arshdeep Singh keeping things tight, while Prasidh Krishna and Shivam Dube shared three wickets between them. Prince Yadav and Axar Patel conceded 60 and 63 runs respectively in their four-over spells, and three dropped catches only added to India's woes in what is becoming a growing fielding concern.

Bright sparks, but no fairytale finish - Despite losing Abhishek Sharma early, India made a positive start, with Sanju Samson playing a few eye-catching strokes. His dismissal inside the Powerplay slowed the momentum, but the visitors still reached a healthy 65/2 in the first six overs. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan kept the chase alive with a 55-run partnership before the skipper fell immediately after the drinks break, swinging the momentum back England's way. Kishan went on to score a well-made 56 off 35, while Tilak Varma's promotion paid off with a spirited fifty. However, with the required rate continuing to climb and little support from the other end, the daunting target proved beyond India as they eventually fell well short.

World Champions dethroned - History has been rewritten in emphatic fashion. England have done what no team had ever done before, becoming the first side to whitewash India in a T20I series of three matches or more. Having never previously won a multi-match series against India in this format, the hosts completely demolished the world champions in every sense on home soil, while extending Shreyas Iyer's winless start as T20I captain to seven matches. In doing so, they also knocked India off their perch as the number 1 ranked T20I side, ending their remarkable reign of 1,605 days at the summit and taking top spot for themselves to cap off a truly historic series in style.

Bowls the leg-break, fuller and on middle. Arshdeep shimmies down the track and smears it to deep square leg for a single. England complete a commanding win by a margin of 56 runs and end the series with a 4-0 scoreline. With this win, England climb to the top of the ICC Men's T20I rankings.

From around the wicket now, shorter and another googly. Arshdeep walks across the stumps to play the line of the ball but gets squared up as the ball rips past the outside edge.

Offers flight, full and slower through the air, outside off. Krishna gets down on a knee and drags it wide of mid on for a single. The 200 is up for India.

Who walks out now? It will be Prasidh Krishna.

OUT! CAUGHT! Will Jacks makes no mistake this time. Adil Rashid has his 2nd wicket in his 150th T20I. Rashid dishes out the googly, on a length, on middle. Axar uses his feet and tries to go down the ground. He only gets the height but not the distance. Jacks moves to his left at long off, settles under it and gobbles it up.

A bit quicker but the length stays full, on leg. Axar clubs it away to the left of deep mid-wicket. Jacob Bethell is quick to get rid of the ball but cannot prevent the batters from completing the second run.

Loopy ball from over the wicket, full and on leg, this is worked away to deep square leg for a single.

Adil Rashid to bowl the final over.

Given LBW but successfully overturned. Out comes the moon ball again by Curran, on a length, landing on middle and leg. Patel hangs deep in the crease to a ball he was better off being on the front foot. He tries to flick it away but plays all around it, getting beaten on the inside edge. Sam Curran is down on the floor but the finger is up. Axar Patel takes the review. There is no bat involved, but the ball is just missing the leg pole on Ball Tracking. The on-field decision is overturned. A fine spell of bowling from Curran nonetheless as he finishes with figures of 4-0-36-3.

Nails the yorker, a bit of tail back in towards the toes. Arshdeep jams it out to long on for another single.

Low full toss, sliding onto the pads. Axar clips it behind square leg for one.

Super slow ball, on a good length, on middle. Arshdeep backs away, exposing all three stumps. He waits and waits before playing the late dab towards short third for a single.

Into the tail now. Arshdeep Singh walks out to bat.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Wicket number 3 for Sam Curran. Into the wicket, pace taken off, on off and middle. Shedge gets his hands high and swings across for the pull. Skies it behind the wicket, where Jos Buttler looks to settle under it. Josh Tongue also converges from short fine leg, but he eventually leaves it for the man with the gloves, and Buttler makes no mistake.

FOUR! Jacob Bethell was interested for a moment there. Full and on middle. Shedge plays a wristy flick and has no intention of keeping it on the ground. Bethell sprints and dives to his right at deep mid-wicket but the ball stays out of his reach and goes away for a four.

The next batter in is Axar Patel. Also, Sam Curran to bowl the penultimate over.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Fifty and out for Tilak Varma. Josh Tongue picks up a wicket on the last ball of his spell. Pace on again, in the channel, on a nagging length. Not wide enough for the cut but Varma throws his hands at the ball. It takes the outside edge and Jos Buttler pouches it safely.

SIX! FIFTY FOR VARMA. An entertaining knock from Tilak Varma, and while it may not come in a winning cause, it will do his confidence some good. From around the wicket, on a good length, on middle. Varma walks inside the line and makes use of the angle, helping it over long leg for a biggie.

Wide! Beyond the tramline on off. Tilak lets it pass.

SIX! All the way. Nearly a yorker by Tongue, angled in at the sticks. Varma stays leg side of the ball and just swings through the line. More of a chip but it still sails over the long off fence.

At 138 kph, full and outside off. Tilak gives himself room to go big on the off side. He swings but is beaten on the inside edge.

No ball! Tongue gets it all wrong as he dishes out an over-waist high full toss, on off. Tilak's weight is on the back foot and he cannot get it away. Mistimes the lofted hit to mid off. Free Hit coming up.

Serves it on a length, on off, it is the off-cutter. Shedge clubs it to deep mid-wicket and gets to the other end.

Begins with an off-pace delivery, on a good length, on off. Varma shanks it off the inner half to deep square leg for one.
