England achieved a historic breakthrough by winning their first T20 series against India, dominating the fourth match at Bristol to secure an unassailable 3-0 lead. Captain Harry Brook and opener Phil Salt combined for an unbeaten 144-run partnership, with Brook's explosive 79 from 35 balls enabling England to complete their chase of 158 in just 13.5 overs for a nine-wicket victory.

India's performance reflects a concerning downward spiral, extending their run of consecutive completed T20 defeats to five matches—a record low. New captain Shreyas Iyer provided some resistance with an unbeaten 80, but his teammates repeatedly gifted their wickets through poor shot selection, skying deliveries to waiting fielders. India now faces Saturday's final match at Southampton attempting to avoid becoming the first team to finish a five-match T20 series without a win.
