India is playing a must-win T20I against England. Prior to the match, India announced injuries to Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy, leading to Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna joining the squad.
Josh Tongue to Shreyas Iyer, An early move towards the leg side by Iyer before returning to his normal standing position. Tongue holds his length as he dishes it on off, on a back of a length. Shreyas taps it to cover-point.
Josh Tongue to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! The Indian skipper is up and running. A little too straight, sprayed at the hips. Iyer tickles it fine of the man at short fine leg and picks up a boundary to get himself going.
Josh Tongue to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT! The change of ends brings about success for Josh Tongue. Bowled into the wicket by Tongue, outside off. Kishan attempts to drag the pull away on the leg side but there is that extra bit of bounce from the surface. Ishan fails to get on top of it, and a top edge is found. Sam Curran at short third gets under it and pouches it safely.
Will Jacks to Ishan Kishan, Fired in at the pads, Ishan stays back to a full ball and works it to the left of mid on. Jofra Archer overruns the ball there and gets into a bit of a tangle with his feet. That allows the batters to come back for the second run.
Will Jacks to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! Gets it through. On a good length, slower and on off. Abhishek does not try to overhit this tone and just checks his drive after pressing forward. Threads the gap at cover and it races away.
Jofra Archer to Abhishek Sharma, Even quicker now at 148 kph and fuller as well, on off. A confident drive by Abhishek and the ball pings off his blade but he picks out the man at cover. End of a successful over from Archer.
Jofra Archer to Ishan Kishan, At 144 kph, on a back of a length, outside off. Kishan hops to get on top of the bounce and punches it behind point for a single.
Jofra Archer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! For the second game in a row, Jofra Archer dismisses his IPL teammate. Archer hits the hard length and pushes it across the left-hander. Sooryavanshi stays back and swings at it, looking to go down the ground. There is a bit of extra lift off the surface, and Vaibhav ends up slicing it high in the air towards mid on, where Sam Curran settles under it and does the rest.
Jofra Archer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, In the air... but it lands safely. Archer bashes the hard length and gets a good lift off the deck, on middle. Sooryavanshi pivots to play the pull off the front foot. Gets it from the upper half of the bat and it is skied to deep square leg, where neither the deep fielder nor the fielder converging from the inner ring can get to the ball before it drops to the ground. A couple for Vaibhav.
Jofra Archer to Abhishek Sharma, Hurls it on a length, around off. Abhishek pushes out in front of his body with hard hands. It squirts off an inside edge wide of mid-wicket and the battes sneak in a quick single.
Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX! Clever, very clever! Cross-seam ball by Tongue, on a shortish length, on off. Sooryavanshi arches back and gets under the ball. Uses the pace as well as the angle to play the upper cut over the man at short third for a six. Tongue goes for 15 runs in his first over.
Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR! Hit with real authority. Tongue bangs it into the wicket but fails to get it high enough and also offers width. Sooryavanshi stands tall on top of the bounce and spanks it uppishly between cover and mid off for his first boundary.
Josh Tongue to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Around off, on a short of a length. Sooryavanshi stands tall and punches it wide of point, where Sam Curran mops it up. A bit of yes and no between the two batters but they eventually decide against the single.
Josh Tongue to Abhishek Sharma, Fuller in length, across off. Sharma does not move his feet at all and throws his hands at the ball. It goes off the inner half in front of square on the leg side. They cross.
Josh Tongue to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! One bounce and over the ropes. Angled away, on a length. Abhishek hangs back in the crease and opens up the front hip to go inside out over cover for the first four of the contest.
Jofra Archer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Pushed across the left-hander, more on the fuller side. Sooryavanshi goes a bit too hard at the ball, trying to force it through the off side. Miscues it off the inner half to mid-wicket.
Jofra Archer to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Into the wicket, on middle and leg. Sooryavanshi gives himself a bit of room and swings across for the pull. Gets it high on the bat but manages to clear mid-wicket. Adil Rashid goes after it and hauls it in. Two runs taken.
Just in - Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy have been ruled out of the remainder of the series after suffering hamstring injuries during the third T20I. Their absence opens the door for Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna, who have an opportunity to make their mark in what is a must-win game for India. Harshit was also part of India's squad for the three-match ODI series that follows, and it remains to be seen whether the injury also rules him out of the 50-over leg of the tour.
The skipper of England - Harry Brook says that they would have batted first as well. Mentions that it looks like a very good surface with a bit of grass on it, and they will see how it plays. Brook is pleased with the way his side has adapted to the conditions throughout the series and credits their success to a complete team effort. Informs that they have made one change with Rehan Ahmed coming in for Liam Dawson.
The captain of India - Shreyas Iyer says that they will play like it's a knockout game and will look to execute the plans better, and the boys are in high spirits. He adds that you need to stay positive, but that means being tactically correct. Iyer reckons that the pitch looks good and there's a good covering of grass on it, so they'll see how it goes. Ends by informing that they have made a couple of changes due to injuries, and the likes of Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna come in.
