Jacob Bethell struck an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls to guide England to a four-wicket victory over India in the second T20 international at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The win gave England a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after the opening match in Durham was abandoned due to rain.

Sam Curran was the pick of the England bowlers with 3-33.

India handed a historic debut to 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who became the youngest international player for his country, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record from 1989.
