After winning the toss, Rohit opted to bowl, with the conditions initially favouring the bowling side. It turned out to be the perfect decision, as England saw a horrific collapse and was down to 26/5 by the eighth over of the powerplay, with Bumrah wreaking havoc during the phase. Although David Willey (21) and Brydon Carse (15) put on a 35-run stand for the ninth wicket, it wasn't enough to set up a match-winning total, as the hosts were knocked over for a nominal 110 within the 26th over.
