England vs India 2018, 2nd T20I, Cardiff: 5 talking points as England beat India by 5 wickets 

#1 Alex Hales does the job for England

After the struggle in the previous game, Alex Hales turned up for England and got the job done for them with a brilliant 58 to seal the deal for the hosts.

He rotated the strike in the middle overs, saw off the threat of the spinners, even played a few aggressive strokes and then slammed two boundaries in the final over to lead England past the target.

Hales kept calm when the going was tough and then got the big strokes away when it mattered to get the job done for his side.
