India pulled off a sensational five-run victory in the second T20 against England at Nagpur on Sunday. Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah bowled their heart out and managed to help India defend

a meagre total of 144/8. When only eight runs were required off the final over, Bumrah picked up two wickets and conceded only two runs. Nehra picked up three wickets for 28 runs while

Bumrah took two wickets for 20 runs. Here are some of the statistical highlights from the match. * India's five-run win is their narrowest victory-margin in terms of runs against

England in T20Is, outstripping the 18-run win at Durban on 19 September 2007. * India have won their first match out of three played in T20Is at VCAS, Jamtha, Nagpur. They had lost the first

two matches at this venue – by 29 runs to Sri Lanka on 9 December 2009 and by 47 runs to New Zealand on 15 March 2016. * For the third time, India have defended a total of less than 150 out

of 13 matches in T20Is (lost 9 and Tied 1). * Ben Stokes' knock of 38 off 27 balls is his career-best score in T20Is, eclipsing the 31 vs West Indies at The Oval on 25 September 2011.

* Chris Jordan (3/22) recorded his second best bowling performance next only to the 4 for 28 vs Sri Lanka at Delhi on 26 March 2016. * Jordan has captured four wickets at 12.25 runs apiece –

the most by a bowler in the present series. * Jasprit Bumrah received his first Man of the Match award in T20Is. * Bumrah's bowling average (19.10) and strike rate (17.3) are quite

impressive in T20Is – his tally being 30 wickets in 23 matches. KL RAHUL’S RECORDS * Lokesh Rahul (71 off 47 balls) posted the highest individual score by an Indian batsman against England

in T20Is, surpassing the 68 by Virender Sehwag off 52 balls at Kingsmead, Durban on 19 September 2007. * Rahul has equalled Eoin Morgan's score of 71 off 31 balls at Birmingham on 7

September 2014, sharing a record for the highest individual innings in India-England T20Is. * Rahul's first fifty in T20Is is his second highest score in this format – the highest being

110 not out vs West Indies at Lauderhill on 27 August 2016. AMIT MISHRA FASTEST INDIAN TO 200 T20I WICKETS * Playing in his 169th match, Amit Mishra has become the second Indian bowler to
