6.30pm What a great contest to get this series underway, proper: England are up 1-0 and both teams will now have a two-day break before they meet for the third T20I, at Nottingham on July 7. Till then, from me and Ekanth and our scorers, I wish all England fans a happy World Cup knockout day, and the rest of our fans a more neutral, equally propulsive time watching cricket and other sports. We'll see you soon! For now, good day and goodbye.

Time for the post-match presentation. Jacob Bethell, predictably, is Player of the Match for his rollicking knock in the chase! "It worked out well in the end. Just going in to bat, two down, Brooky set the momentum, made it easy for me... Everyone just kept chipping in. In those kinds of chases, you don't go rapid the whole time. Two big overs and the game swings. [On 17th vs Bishnoi] If I'm honest, I would have targetted the other end, my leg side with the wind, but you know, free hits, bowler's down, and you take it on. The thing with playing on different dimensions is one side might be easier to hit sixes, but you can also score runs hitting it into the bigger gaps. We were good with that as a team. I've really enjoyed that semi-final, they're a high skill attack. I've played them on two good pitches."

Now time for a chat with Shreyas Iyer: "I know where it all went away, but I don't want to pinpoint any particular player. After 15th game, momentum went away... [On Bishnoi] I think one no ball, I think he'll come back stronger. Then the game got away in the 17th over... he'll have to learn. It was a phenomenal score, on this track, Tilak's phenomenal 20 in the final over. Credit where due: watching Bethell, he definitely took on the bowlers. I think Sam Curran analysed the dimensions of the ground early on, did not give room to our left-handers. The batters are strong on leg side, he was not letting them play there. [Sooryavanshi debut] I think he's got that unflinching attitude... It's just sensational to watch. I wasn't anticipating him to be nervous, sensational cricket last couple of months and years. Definitely stepped up to the occasion, pleasing to the eye."

Finally, Harry Brook speaks: "Extremely pleased. It's one of the things we spoke about: try to get off the ropes and stop the ropes, we had 11, they had 5. With the wind and dimensions of the ground, we knew we could chase it. We were happy where we were after the powerplay. The way Bethell played was phenomenal. [Curran] He valued the winds and dimensions as well as he could. [On his knock] I think you've got to try and maximise the powerplay as well as you can. All our batters have shown innovation; can hit all around the ground. [On Bethell] He's an awesome talent out there, rallies the troops well in the field. He's so mature for his age. He's got a long career ahead of him."

6pm Those Bishnoi backfoot no-balls - three of them, to be precise - were pounced on by Bethell. India looked favourites to win this, especially after Axar's unhittable spell through the middle overs. But another spinner, the quicker Bishnoi, let the game slip through his fingers. He's a terrific bowler in the right headspace so you hope he recovers from this. But the truth is today, Bethell was incredibly clinical for a batter his age. And don't forget England captain Harry Brook, whose rapid-fire 39 in the powerplay set up the early overs for England. The overcast skies stay, though it luckily did not rain today. And we had a good contest to whet our appetite instead.

Labubu: "Kohliesque innings from bethel! "

Micah : "Seems like Archer is protecting Bethell from the strike" - Very droll, Micah

Raj: "India has an abundance of world-beating players, but I think recently they seem to be getting their tactics and sometimes selections completely wrong. " - They did, err, just win the World Cup...

Bj: "Bishnoi had a bad day. He is a good T20 bowler "

Harshvardhan: "Only if Bishnoi had given 9 in his last over, IND would have 30 run to defend in last 2 and could have been an interesting game!" - If my grandma had wheels etc, I'm afraid...

Arshdeep Singh back for his final over here.

sash: "why didn't Dawson come out b4 archer" - And here I was being accused of ragebait for suggesting the same!
