England secured a commanding 125-run victory over India in the third T20 international at Trent Bridge, extending their series lead to 2-0. Pace bowlers Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue were instrumental, skittling India out for just 76 in 11.4 overs. This marks India's largest defeat in T20 international history and their second-lowest all-out total. Archer claimed 3-29, including the wicket of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for 13, while Tongue registered his best T20 figures with 4-28 on his home ground.

England's formidable total of 201-7 was anchored by Phil Salt's explosive 70 off 44 balls, with late impetus provided by Sam Curran's unbeaten 41 from 24 deliveries. The aggressive short-pitched bowling from Archer and Tongue proved too much for the Indian top-order, who struggled to cope with the sustained pace and hostility. India's chase collapsed early, losing five wickets within the first five overs, effectively ending the contest.

With two matches remaining, England has already guaranteed they cannot lose the five-match series. A victory in the fourth T20 in Bristol on Thursday would seal the series win. The performance raises questions for India's vaunted batting lineup, while England's potent new-ball attack demonstrated its effectiveness.
