So, that's a wrap on this cracking game on this Super Sunday and a superb series as a whole. India won both the white ball series 2-1. So, plenty to celebrate for all the Indian fans. Till next time, this is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my esteemed co-commentators Arijit Kundu, and Akshaya Krishna Polya, alongside scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Stay tuned for more cricketing action across our globe on the network. Stay safe, happy, and cool. CHEERS AND good night to all until we meet again.  
Rohit Sharma collects the TROPHY! And the celebration begins! As per the customs India have been following lately, Rohit hands over the trophy to Arshdeep Singh.
Rohit Sharma, India Winning Captain: "Very pleased. We came here and wanted to achieve as a white ball cricket side. We have areas to improve, but we have done quite what we set to achieve. I know last time in 2018 we got beaten. So, to come and win here and how we played was heartening. It was a good pitch and 260 was gettable. We lost early wickets but the way Pant and Pandya batted and in no way did they panic so they were crucial and in control of the chase.

Chahal is an integral member of our side with his experience he brings a lot to the side. Hardik was great. He used the dimensions of the ground and bowled smartly. I am not really concerned about the top order. I back them to the hilt and they will come back stronger. Yes, we played some bad shots that will need to look into but other than that we are not complaining.

There are quite a few guys getting a look in. We are looking at bench strength and it's all about workload management so that the guys can come in and do well. There are guys who will come to the West Indies. Creating bench strength is our main motive. So, happy with the series win." 
Jos Buttler (England captain): "Yeah, thought we're a bit short. It was fantastic to get those wickets early, but couldn't get the wickets in the middle between the two guys and that's where we lost the game. No, we didn't batted our best and need to do much better with the bat in hand. Yeah, he's (Reece Topley) been brilliant, been a man of the match at Lords, and has been exceptional as well.

We were searching for the wickets in the middle order, Reece seemed to be creaking a bit. Henceforth, need to manage the players as well. Ah, not worrying to much as we lost. We need time and experience. We move on very quickly. Rash has been an important player for our team for a long time."
Hardik Pandya (Player of the Series) : "Yes I mean white ball is something close to me and I cherish playing it. Absolutely thrilled to win the series. To come here and step up and beat a quality side and show where we are showing quality. It was important to take wickets and I love short balls and keep them. They are a quality side and they bat deep and so it was important to get bowled out. I am willing to get hit for sixes and but I can get a wicket.

Yes, we are good pals off the field. He likes to take the risk head and I am ok with it as I am here to take wickets. Rishabh is a quality player and it was fun batting with him. The way he batted today and finished things off was special. Thrilled for him. "
Rishabh Pant (Player of the Match): "Yeah, hopefully, I remember this knock for the rest of my life. But when I was there, I was focusing on one ball at a time. Obviously, I would love to do well when I am under pressure. I would love to come on top when these situations are thrown at me. I am happy to do the hard work for my team. I am enjoying whatever I do for my team and I love to play cricket in England. The more you play, the more you get experience. Absolutely, nothing to take away from the efforts of the bowlers as they kept the England total well below the par. They have been performing well throughout the series and are the real match winners. Not only in this series, but they are also doing well for us whenever we play.  Thanks, Thanks a lot sir."    
Time for the presentation ceremony with Michael Atherton.  
22:50 IST: This has been a sensational chase from India as they not only break their 39-year jinx here at Old Trafford against England, but they also win their first bilateral ODI series win against England in England since 2014. A fantastic performance led by Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya has taken India to the finishing line and a 2-1 series win for India. 

The chase of 260 didn't get off to a great start as India lost Shikhar Dhawan for 1 to Reece Topley. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played some exquisite shots but couldn't kick on as both were dismissed in the powerplay as India was reduced to 38-3 inside the powerplay. Surya Kumar Yadav also could manage only 16 runs as India was reduced to 72-4 in 16.2 overs. But then came the Hardik Pandya-Rishabh Pant show as they put on a match-winning stand of 133 runs in double quick time. Hardik was the aggressor as his 71-off 55 balls took the pressure off Pant. Once Pandya fell, Pant went overdrive and registered his maiden ODI hundred to take the side home. David Willey was taken to the cleaners towards the end and so was Craig Overton earlier on. Pant remained unbeaten on 125 off 113 balls while Ravindra Jadeja was unbeaten as a spectator with 7 off 15 balls. 

Reece Topley was the pick of the bowlers for England as he followed up his six-wicket haul at Lord's with three wickets in this match. He picked up the top3 again as he ended figures with 3 for 35 in 7 overs. A wicket apiece for Brydon Carse and Craig Overton but they were taken to the cleaners just like the other bowlers. England looked clueless in the field and Jos Buttler looked clueless and can you blame him? You can't. 

Earlier in the day, it was Rohit Sharma who won the toss and elected to bowl first as Jasprit Bumrah missed the game due to back spasms and was replaced by Mohammed Siraj in the playing XI. Jason Roy started firing as he scored 12 runs which included three boundaries in the first over off Shami. Then Siraj got rid of the two Yorkshiremen Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root for ducks. Roy and Bairstow then counter-attacked and put on 54 for the third wicket before Hardik Pandya for 41 off 31 balls and Ben Stokes for 27 off 29 balls.

Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali put on a 75-run stand for the 5th wicket before Moeen Ali fell for 34 off 44 balls. Jos Buttler played a mature knock as he top scored for the side with 60 off 80 balls. Livingstone (27 off 31 balls) and Buttler shared a partnership of 49 runs before both fell to Hardik Pandya as he had 4 wickets to the tally. England was 199-7 at one stage, but thanks to David Willey’s 18 off 15 balls and Craig Overton’s 32 off 33 balls that took England to 259 in 45.5 overs. They lost their last wickets in a whimper as Yuzvendra Chahal cleaned up the tail by picking up the last three wickets.

From India’s point of view, Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with his 7 overs 4 for 24 which included three maidens as well. Yuzvendra Chahal went for 60 in 9.5 overs but picked up three crucial wickets. A couple of wickets for Mohammed Siraj while Jadeja picked up Moeen Ali. Shami and Krishna were wicketless, but they kept things relatively tight here.  Hardik Pandya had a great day with his four-wicket haul and 71 with the bat. Pant scored an unbeaten hundred. So, it's going to be a tough choice for the Player of the Match Award today in my view. 

So, India wins by 5 wickets to win the series 2-1 and break a 39-year-old jinx at Old Trafford and their first bilateral ODI series win in England since 2014. Plenty to cheer about for the Indian fans on this Super Sunday. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation ceremony coming your way soon.   

Akshaya: Breaching the forts and now Rishabh Pant has made it his hobby!
42.1 J Root to R Pant
4 Four !! If breaching a fortress was an art, then Rishabh Pant is the Picasso of it. Fuller one on the off, with little turn from Root. Pant plants his foot forward and reverse sweeps this past the 3rd man fielder inside the circle to push the ball further towards the boundary ropes. Tremendous batting from Rishabh Pant and he has done it all for India. The series belongs to India and what a series it has been. Not a single format has gone in favor of England at their home. This is incredible stuff from the Men in Blue.
Arijit: Alright, now comes Joe Root. I have been yelling this for a long time.

41.6 D Willey to R Pant
1 Almost a yorker at the middle and leg, and the batter clips this past the square leg region for a single this time. Pant retains the strike this time and might be looking to finish things off in his ownership.
Akshaya: India are inching closer! Just four away now from breaching the fort! Now there is a discussion between a few senior English bowlers alongside Willey! I mean what are they talking about! I hope they are not discussing whether to give a single or boundary there!  
41.5 D Willey to R Pant
4 Pantastic shot from Rishab Pant this time. Another one and back to back five boundaries for Rishab Pant. Fuller and on the middle and leg, and the batter thrashes it down the ground for a marvellous boundary this time. Just four more runs needed to win and Rishabh Pant, as the kinda player he is, just turning the tide in his own will.
Probuddha: India on the way to break a 39 year jinx at the venue.
41.4 D Willey to R Pant
4 Drags the length short this time, and slants past the leg stump line. Pant just weighs backward and held it down the fine leg region for a four. What a shot, what an innings from Pant. Bow down ahead of Lord Pant.
41.3 D Willey to R Pant
4 Another one this time!! FOurrr!! Lovely batting from Rishabh Pant this time and this one beats the fielder at mid off and Pant is on his way to breach another fort. Don't turn the cameras on Buttler!
