IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: “We have four impact subs”: Buttler

Jos Buttler was full-on tongue-in-cheek with his humour during the toss. In a sly reference to the concussion substitute saga, Buttler said that England have four impact subs for the match!

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Chance for Shami to impress

Mohammed Shami went wicketless in the 3rd T20I, finishing with figures of 0/25 in 3 overs. He will be hoping to strike early tonight, against an inconsistent but dangerous England batting lineup.

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: No Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana could feel hard done by for not getting a place in the XI. He was at the centre of the concussion substitute controversy in the 4th T20I, but performed admirably under pressure, taking 3 big wickets.

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Mohammed Shami returns!

Mohammed Shami is back! The 34-year-old pacer replaces Arshdeep Singh, and that is India’s only change of the game.

Shami preferred ahead of Harshit Rana for this game.

Visuals of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav warming up can be seen. Could that be a sign that the two senior stars will play despite India have wrapped up the series win?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: England’s batting problems

Some star England batters have failed to fire so far in the series, with the biggest name being opener Phil Salt. 

0, 4, 5, 23 – Salt’s scores in the series so far

Can he get a big one before the ODIs get underway?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Varun Chakravarthy!

Let’s talk about Varun Chakravarthy. The mystery spinner has been in the form of his life, and has now become the very first Indian bowler to take 10+ wickets in two T20I series.

Varun has taken 12 scalps in 4 games in the series against England so far.

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Full game for Harshit Rana?

Harshit Rana showed nerves of steel with the ball in the 4th T20I, impressing with figures of 3/33 in 4 overs. If India decide to rest Arshdeep Singh again, will Rana be preferred over Shami for the pacer spot?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Will Hardik Pandya be rested?

Hardik Pandya slammed a superb 30-ball 53 in the 4th T20I, but the injury-prone nature of the all-rounder is well-known. With the series wrapped up, will the management consider resting Pandya and giving a chance to a player like Ramandeep Singh?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Will Shami get another chance?

Mohammed Shami looked rusty in the 3rd T20I, but will he get another chance after Harshit Rana’s superb substitute performance in the 4th game? 

Remember, Shami is also present in the squad for the 3-match ODI series starting Feb 6.

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Samson needs a big one

Sanju Samson hasn’t done well in this series either. After a quickfire 26 in the first game, Samson has made three single-digit scores. Can the wicket-keeper batter fire and perform well in this game, and truly show us what he’s capable of?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Captain in poor form

India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is in very poor form.

0, 12, 14, 0 – that’s what his scores read so far in the series.

Can the once No. 1 ICC T20I batter regain his form tonight?

IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Chances for bench players?

With the series win already wrapped up, India could try out their bench strength today. Ramandeep Singh could be brought in, and maybe Harshit Rana will get a full debut.
