Jasprit Bumrah conceded just two runs and took two wickets in the final over to secure India a nerve-shredding victory in the second T20 in Nagpur and level the series at 1-1. Jos Buttler seemed to have struck the decisive blows when he hit the last three balls of the penultimate over for 12 runs, but both he and Joe Root were dismissed by Bumrah as England fell short.
With Root and Ben Stokes well-set and 32 required off the last four, India broke through via Ashish Nehra. Bumrah then conceded three runs off the 18th over, as his slower ball proved almost impossible to hit. Nehra's final over was taken for 16, Buttler just clearing Virat Kohli's jump at long-on for a six that brought England's requirement down to eight from six balls, before Bumrah provided the kiss of death.
