5 talking points as Dawid Malan and Reece Topley star amid Suryakumar Yadav's heroics

Jos Buttler earned his first win as England 's permanent white-ball captain, with his side avoiding a 3-0 series whitewash against India despite a brutal century from Suryakumar Yadav.

Dawid Malan and Reece Topley both starred for England, with Malan's 77 off 39 balls leading the hosts to an imposing total of 215-7. He was ably supported by Liam Livingstone's unbeaten 42 from 29 balls, while Harry Brook and Chris Jordan both played useful cameos.

In response, England got off to an excellent start as they reduced India to 31-3, with Topley taking two of the early wickets. However, Yadav then took centre stage as he blasted a stunning hundred which almost single-handedly won India the match.
