India's chase collapsed as they were dismissed for just 76, with England's bowlers claiming 10 wickets for 64 runs.
England's batting surge
Harry Brook opened with a fluent 71, describing the innings as "I thought the communication and plans going into the second half of the game were perfect. We adapted really well with the bat and knew it was a tricky surface if they hit the top of the stumps and to carry that over into our bowling performance was awesome. Phil Salt obviously played a mega innings there and Jos Buttler's little cameo in the PowerPlay got us off to a good start. We recognised early it was a tough surface to hit at the top of the stumps and there were lots of conversations between myself, Baz and the batters who had been out there. We had our plans and stuck to them. The bowlers knew exactly what they needed to do. For the next two games it's about adapting to the surfaces as quickly as possible and as a batting unit using the pitch to access different areas of the ground as well. Tonight was a perfect example of that.
Phil Salt contributed a rapid 70, while Jos Buttler added 36 before being dismissed by Prince Yadav. The partnership set a formidable total that proved too much for the Indian bowlers.
England's bowling spell
Jofra Archer was named player of the match, saying "I'm just happy to contribute to the team. It's a lot of holding your nerve against world‑class batters and you just have to keep hitting your spot. Sometimes you bowl good balls and they go for boundaries. Today I was lucky to get a wicket with a bad one as well. For the most part I am happy with how it is coming out. I enjoy bowling with Josh Tongue. I've bowled with him every game so far since I've been back for the summer. He also passes information on to me as well, he's not a hoarder.
