India face challenges with Sanju Samson's technical issues against high-speed bowlers and Rinku Singh's decline in form ahead of the vital fourth T20I against England in Pune. The team aims to address these concerns before the decisive match in Mumbai.

Brief scores from the first Twenty20 international between India and England in Kolkata on Wednesday: England 132 all out in 20 overs (J. Buttler 68; V. Chakravarthy 3-23, A. Singh 2-17) v India 133-3 in 12.5 overs (A. Sharma 79, S. Samson 26; J. Archer 2-21)

CANBERRA, Australia — Australia's women had already retained the Ashes. Now they've won the series against England. The Australians won the rain-affected second Twenty20 by six runs in Canberra on Thursday to extend their 100% start to the series and move into a 10-0 lead with just one more T20 and a test match remaining.

England produced a strong bowling performance to beat India by 26 runs in Rajkot and keep the T20 series alive. Having lost the opening two matches of the five-match series, England had to win the third T20 to avoid defeat at the earliest opportunity.
