Hardik came on to bowl the 7th over and again struck as he removed opener Jason Roy (4). Harry Brook looked solid in his 23-ball stay but was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal for 28 runs. England went on to lose wickets at regular intervals and ultimately fell quite short of the target. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Moeen Ali was the top scorer with 36 runs in 20 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes. Chris Jordan also played a knock of 26 runs at the end but it was too late. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
