That's all from this game. We will be back with more cricket soon. Do join us then. For now it's bye bye from all of us here.
Harry Brook: Amazing. Great start in the T20s from the boys and had a lot of fun out there. They had a very good finish, we stood to our plans in the middle, we did not let them get away. We spoke about it during the innings break that it was only a matter of a couple of big overs, we chased the score beautifully. We have got a lot of depth, small boundaries, they were under-par and we have got great confidence that we have got Bethell and Will Jacks at 7. Gives us great confidence on a small ground, playing with four spinners and two seamers. Woody set the tone, he started off beautifully, swinging it. Held a few overs back from Daws and Rash in the middle overs and even though they got a big overs at the end, I felt they were 30 short. (on the final game) Another opportunity for us to improve.
Shai Hope: Personally felt we were a few runs short., We could have a gotten a little more runs. We did not capitalise against their spinners. Whatever we put on the board, we should have defended it. Great to have Akeal back, to help control that powerplay. We are just trying to find the best roles for everyone in different conditions. We need to limit as many dot balls as we can, we have that boundary-hitting ability. Something we possess for a long time, the game has changed, it's not about power-hitting, we need to take the singles and doubles. Have to try to bounce back, haven't won a game on tour, every game matters and setting the tone that we want to set going forward.
Luke Wood | Player of the Match: I have not been in the team for a year-and-a-half and two years. Nice to make an impact. (Wicket early on) Was always nerves around, settles you down and gives you confidence. We discussed this as a bowling attack and with Brooky, very clear on slower balls and mixing it up is the way to go with these guys. It's nice to win any series, fresh on the back of the ODIs and hopefully in a couple of days' time we will make it 3-0.
18:03 Local Time, 17:03 GMT, 22:33 IST: England win this easily.
