Stand-in skipper Tammy Beaumont admitted England had failed to show the best of themselves as a six-wicket T20 defeat to India at Old Trafford saw them lose the five-match series with one still left to play.
England laboured to 126 for seven with none of the batters able to really get going – Sophia Dunkley was the top scorer with 22 – and once India’s openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma made 50 in their opening five overs the writing was on the wall.
