Morgan made 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England were coasting along well at 129 for four in 15 overs and looked good at putting up a huge total. However, tight bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya allowed England to get only 35 runs in the last five overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian bowlers brought in change of pace towards the end of the England innings to restrict the visitors to 164 for six in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ishan Kishan, opening the innings in place of Shikhar Dhawan who was benched, hammered four sixes and five fours in his innings and made easy work of the 165-run target that England had set up. The Left-hander, just 22, hit 56 off 32 balls before he fell to Adil Rashid&#39;s leg-spin.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India had lost the wicket of K.L. Rahul early in the first over. The Karnataka batsman fell for a duck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If England thought that they were back, Rishabh Pant (26 off 13), another big-hitter, joined Kohli at the crease and the two added 36 for the third wicket in just 3.3 overs. By the time of Pant&#39;s dismissal, England were down and out. India reached the target with 13 balls to spare. Virat Kohli finished the game with a six and remained unbeaten at 73 off 49 balls.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">First Batsman To Complete 3000 Runs in T20 International!<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVirat &#39;The Run Machine&#39; Kohli<br \/>\r\n.<br \/>\r\n.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ViratKohli?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ViratKohli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/kingkohli?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#kingkohli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indveng?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indveng<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiancricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiancricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TB5sZgecR2\">pic.twitter.com\/TB5sZgecR2<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1371154015354978308?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 14, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
