He went for 10 off the first three balls then bowled two dots which are valuable at any stage of a T20 innings, more so in the death overs.

That's an emphatic victory with 11 balls to spare. A good all round performance.

Great performance today and Mills not closing the door on 50 over cricket is great news.

I left work yesterday at the end of the Indian innings and for one of the first times I can remember I had absolutely no doubt that this England side would chase the total down woth ease. Paul e said that the Indians were 20 or 30 shy. Maybe so, but I would have backed us to get 20 or 30 runs comfortably had we have needed to.
