England spoil Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's debut as Jacob Bethell fires hosts to four-wicket win over India in second T20I
Jacob Bethell fired an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls as England beat India by four wickets in the second T20I at Old Trafford, spoiling Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's international debut as the 15-year-old made history in Manchester
Sooryavanshi became India's youngest-ever player - surpassing the great Sachin Tendulkar, who was 16 when making his Test debut in 1989 - and promptly hit two huge sixes in a 10-ball cameo before being stumped by Jos Buttler for 14.
Chasing 191, England's pursuit got off to a horror start when Phil Salt and Buttler both departed for ducks in Arshdeep Singh's opening over, but Harry Brook proceeded to smash 26 from five balls off his next to swiftly have the home side back on track.

Brook (39 off 15 balls) did not hang around much longer, but Bethell, after first putting on 67 with Tom Banton (39 off 32), blasted England to victory - with Ravi Bishnoi's 17th over that cost 29 the turning point.
England take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after the opening match in Durham on Wednesday was abandoned due to rain.
