Chasing 259 for victory, India's innings got off to a turbulent start, losing both their returning stalwarts, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, inside the first nine overs. Rohit Sharma was the first to depart, caught by Harry Brook off Sam Curran for 11 runs (21 balls), before Archer orchestrated Kohli's downfall. The dismissal occurred in the 8.3rd over, with Kohli attempting a flick across the leg side to a full, straight delivery from Archer. He missed completely, and the umpire's finger went up without hesitation, with Kohli opting against a review knowing the ball was hitting the stumps. At the time of Kohli's wicket, India stood at a precarious 48 for 2, putting immense pressure on the middle order.

Despite an early wobble, England managed to post a fighting total of 258 all out in 47.5 overs, largely thanks to a superb recovery led by veteran Joe Root and all-rounder Liam Dawson.
