England came back strongly to level the series at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. The English bowlers probed with consistent line and length; their fielders rose to the challenge; and Alex Hales, who was all at sea against Kuldeep Yadav at Old Trafford, shepherded the English chase. Here are some statistical highlights from the match:
13 T20Is between England and India and England have won 7 of them. However, on English soil the head-to-head reads 4-1 in favour of England.
500 international matches for MS Dhoni. Dhoni became the 3rd Indian and 9th overall to reach the landmark. The others to have played 500 matches are Sachin Tendulkar (664), Mahela Jayawardene (652), Kumar Sangakkara (594), Sanath Jayasuriya (586), Ricky Ponting (560), Shahid Afridi (524), Jacques Kallis (519), and Rahul Dravid (509).
308 most runs in India-England T20Is, by Eoin Morgan. Virat Kohli (303) has almost caught up with him now, as have MS Dhoni (296) and Suresh Raina (292).
9 most wickets in India-England T20Is, by Yuzvendra Chahal. Of England bowlers, Jade Dernbach (7) has most. However, if one considers only players in current squads, Chris Jordan heads the English list with 5.
