Sky Sports published a live blog for the fourth T20 internationaI between England and India in Bristol Cricket Ground, with England already holding a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20 series.
What the series situation was
The first match in Durham was abandoned because of rain, but England responded by beating India at Emirates Old Trafford and again at Trent Bridge to move into control of the contest.
That meant the Bristol fixture arrived with England in front and India needing a response to keep the series alive. The fifth and final T20 was then scheduled for Southampton on Saturday, before the teams were due to begin a three-match ODI series at Edgbaston on Tuesday July 14.
Why Bristol mattered
With the live blog focused on the fourth match, Bristol was the latest stage in a series that had already shifted firmly towards England. Two completed games had produced two wins for England, leaving India chasing the series rather than setting the pace.
The broader picture was straightforward: the fifth and final T20 still had to be played, but the momentum sat with England, and the next step after that was the ODI series beginning at Edgbaston.
