NOT OVER YET

Jamie's brilliant bowling and Duckett half-century keep England just in series

- FROM DAVID CHARLESWORTH

BEN DUCKETT and Liam Livingstone sparkled with the bat before a disciplined bowling performance gave England a 26-run win over India in the third T20 to keep the series alive.

Duckett thumped 51 off 28 balls but England's spin woes resurfaced in Rajkot as Varun Chakravarthy's 5-24 saw the tourists slip from 83-1 to 127-8.

Livingstone was largely responsible after belting five sixes in his 43 off 24 deliveries and England were able to restrict India to 145 for nine and narrow the deficit in the five-match series to 2-1.

Jamie Overton collected 3-23 and there were two wickets apiece for Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer, while Adil Rashid's 1-15 - bowling India's dangerman Tilak Varma - was outstanding.
