Brook walks to the board with the Winners tag. He lifts the trophy and is chuffed, so does the team. Must be a lot of relief and joy after a tough start to the summer. They'll hope to carry it forward in the ODIs, while India try to change it. Record-breaking game though and there'll be lots to read from it. So, do check into Cricinfo, website and app, to stay updated. See you for the ODIs, thanks for joining. Goodbye from me, Ekanth, Ashish Pant, and our scorer M Venkat Raghav.
Harry Brook, England captain and POTS: We had a lot of fun. Ran well, hit boundaries and complemented each other. We were just trying to get ourselves to get in the best position we could. Cricket is a simple game we complicate. Just watched the ball and played the best shot for it. I'm striking the ball nicely. We've got ourselves to World No. 1, which was a game after a couple of games. All boys are delighted and we deserve to celebrate. You've to create pace on the ball while hitting spill. We have spinners with nous and have the ability to make batters think. We've bowled a lot of spin and they've been exceptional. We've communicated really well in the last 12 months and we've executed things really well.
Shreyas Iyer, India captain: Lot to take out of the series. Conditions, awareness, adaptation. This was the best wicket we played on, the approach was different when we batted. Conditions kept changing from match one. We need to be aware and adapt as professionals. Important to communicate what we could've done better. Fielding plays a key role and we need to work on it. Especially overseas, with different dimensions in grounds. We dropped catches which cost us, 220-225 we might've chased down but not to be. We lost wickets in cluster. We were going after the chase rather than building partnerships. We have to target bowlers, take time. Their execution was spot on. Buttler was sensational, Brook changed the momentum. That partnership steadied the ship.
Jos Buttler, POTM: Delighted. Had a lean patch for a bit. Happy to be back to my best. Always feel due, just the world cup actually. Felt good about my game in the IPL, something about putting on the England shirt. Harry's incredible, puts incredible pressure on bowlers. Gotta give yourself time, belief and trust in your game. We were going for as many as possible. We got twos on this big ground which helped construct big overs. Good pitch too, we needed the runs too. Great team performance, to win 4-0 win against India is a big achievement. Different players have made great contributions across disciplines, which is the most pleasing thing for the guys.
Raj: "Another series where Indian spinners have been outbowled by their opposing spinners. "
Mike: "India have '4 teams that can beat anyone' they tell us. So was this their 5th or 6th team?" 56th
Pravesh: "Rain God saved India otherwise it would have been 5-NIL."
6:40pm: 4-0 win for England and they go to the top of the T20I rankings. It's like what the Test team did in 2011. They were close to clinical with the ball. Knew they had the cushion of a premium total even after India started decently in the chase. Curran getting Samson first ball, then Dawson getting Shreyas after drinks all but sealed the game. Archer was as good as he has been in the series. India got a few batters among the runs. Samson, replacing Sooryavanshi, got a start but couldn't go big. Abhishek fell cheaply and the game was all but done.

Venkat: "What is the purpose of bilaterals then? If not meant for practice nor meant for fan entertainment???" It's meant for entertainment and it's great to be entertained. They're not high-stakes. Even if they are important, it's likely to be in the lead-up to a world cup
Kalyan Budhavar: "Even after 2 whitewashes, there is absolutely no need to panic or go too deep in analysis. Despite the batting failure,my only concern is bowling, especially fast bowling. The well looks dry. That needs to be developed."

Ashish: "The world cup obsession is making India boring to watch in even expectedly exciting bilaterals like v/s England and even Australia. They don't even turn up sometimes and it is all brushed under the carpet - the excuse being WC is far away. Do not play these series then!!! Waste of resources and fan's energy." Fair enough but no point pinning hopes on white-ball bilaterals for excitement I feel
