- England posted 130-4 after 14.2 overs in the 3rd T20I against India at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, with 5.4 overs still to be bowled in their innings and five batters — Jacks, Dawson, Archer, Rashid, and Tongue — yet to come in.
- Phil Salt anchored the innings unbeaten on 51 from 37 balls (strike rate 137.84), clearing the ropes once and finding the fence six times after Buttler's dismissal.
- P Yadav and Harshit Rana shared India's bowling spoils with two wickets apiece — P Yadav removing Buttler (36) and Brook (16), Rana accounting for Bethell (13) and Banton (0).
- Jos Buttler smashed 36 off just 21 balls (strike rate 171.43) with four fours and two sixes before being bowled by P Yadav, providing England's fastest scoring burst.
- India captain won the toss and elected to field first at Trent Bridge; Richie Richardson served as match referee with Martin Saggers and Russell Warren as on-field umpires.
- The scorecard shows Salt (51\) and Curran (10\) steering England to 130-4 — a notable recovery from what Sky Sports' earlier coverage flagged as a 111-4 stutter when Bethell and Banton fell in two balls.
Why it matters: England's scorecard captures a match still in motion (5.4 overs remaining, five batters unused), meaning the final total could climb significantly. The wickets split evenly between P Yadav and Rana — each conceding under 8.5 runs per over — gives India genuine bowling balance heading into their chase, while Salt's anchoring fifty and Curran's finishing cameo leave England's middle order intact for a late surge.
