Key events
Pre game reading:
Teams:
Vaibhav plays again (hooray) and Prince Yadav is in for Ravi Bishnoi. England are unchanged from Manchester.
England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue
India: Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh Varun Chakravarthy
India win the toss and choose to field
Ravi Shastri’s voice sonic booms around the entire midlands region as Shreyas Iyer and Harry Brook carry out the toss. Iyer calls the coin correctly and inserts England. Curious and Curioser. The pitch looks like a road and there are short boundaries either side, maybe India just fancy themselves to be able to chase whatever England set them?
Preamble
James Wallace
Hello and welcome to the third T20I between England and India from Trent Bridge. A win today will see England take an unassailable lead in the series and confine India to a second T20I series defeat in a row after they were rolled by Ireland immediately before this one.
Jacob Bethell took the plaudits in the last game at Old Trafford with a mightily impressive and Swiss Clock timed 76 off 46 balls to ice the run chase for England with an over and six wickets to spare.
India need a win to keep the series alive, all eyes on their starting XI to see if The Six hittin’ Kid – Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets his second run out.
Play starts at 5.30pm, I’ll be back with the toss and teams very shortly.
