England delivered a much-improved display but Tilak Varma's nerveless 72 not out carried India to a nail-biting two-wicket victory and a 2-0 lead in their five-match T20 series in Chennai.
Blown away in Kolkata, England coped better with another trial by spin as they posted 165 for nine, led by Jos Buttler's 45 off 30 balls and cameos from Jamie Smith (22 off 12) and Brydon Carse (31 off 17).
