England won in the high scoring game, India clinched the series

In the last T20I, England beat India by 17 runs. Despite winning this match, England lost the series by 2-1 as India won the initial two T20Is.
1st innings:
Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bat first in Trent Bridge and gave a good start to England. He scored 18 in 9 deliveries and got bowled by Avesh Khan. Jason Roy departed in 8th over after scoring 27. The top scorer from England was Dawid Malan, who came back in form and made stunning 79 in 39 balls only. Livingstone again played brilliantly and scored unbeaten 42 in 29 balls.  Ravi Bishhnoi was the most economical bowler from India, he gave 30 runs in 4 overs and took 2 wickets. Harshal Patel was also impressive, he got two wickets at the expense of 35 runs. Umran Malik conceded 56 runs in 4 overs and other bowlers were expensive too because of which, England made their highest(215) ever total against India in T20Is.
2nd innings:
India did not begin well and lost 3 wickets inside powerplay, Virat Kohli was looking good but he again faced failure. Then, Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer made outstanding partnership. Shreyas Iyer scored 28 but the highlight was Suryakumar Yadav . He made his maiden ton(117 in 55) in T20Is and did efforts at the end as well but none of the other batters stayed with him and India lost the match by 17 runs. Reece Topely gave only 22 runs in 4 overs and took 3 wickets whereas Chris Jordan and David Willey took 2 wickets each.
Now, India will play the ODI series against England, which are going to begin from 12th of July.
