Avesh Khan to Jason Roy, A good start from him! On a length and around off, Roy takes a few steps down the track and defends.
Rohit Sharma, skipper of India says they wanted to chase as they have batted first initially and now they want to see how they can chase. Informs they have 4 changes. Adds they want to continue to win games but they also want to give chances to the others. Says Umran Malik is an exciting prospect and they want to give him that confidence.
Very interesting selection. Big test for India's young bowlers on one of the highest scoring grounds in the world. And with just 5 bowling options, there is no place to hide. Looking forward to seeing Umran, Avesh and Bishnoi.

Mentions it looks like a brilliant surface and they want to make use of it, the side is still full of confidence and he hopes they can do well. here.
We would have fielded first. Had batted first twice, wanted to chase at least once. Four changes for us - Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Umran Malik and Shreyas Iyer are in. They replace Bhuvi, Bumrah, Chahal and Hardik. We don't want to miss out on the winning confidence, but there are a few things we want to have a look at before the World Cup, so the changes. We're excited for Umran, want to wish him the best and give him confidence.

We will bat first. Just looking for a change-up, looks like a great wicket. Two changes - Reece Topley and Phil Salt are in, Salt will bat at 4. Parkinson and Curran miss out. Looks like a brilliant surface, there is still a lot of confidence in the side.
England skipper Jos Buttler at the toss
England (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (C/WK), Dawid Malan, Philip Salt (In for Sam Curran), Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Richard Gleeson and Reece Topley (In for Matt Parkinson).
TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and it lands in England's favour. They have elected to BAT first.
We know how good they are as a team, not just in England but everywhere they go. When you win games there is confidence in the group and it is important how the boys feel. I really wanted to see how we perform after a win and challenge us as a group. Brilliant knock under pressure. We wanted someone to bat through and get us a score, Jadeja had scored a hundred here and he carried on from there. He was calm and finished it well towards the end. We understand the importance of the powerplay; be it scoring runs or taking wickets. We look forward to another game tomorrow. We wanted to give guys sitting on the bench a chance, I will go back and speak to the coach about that. We need to keep ticking the boxes and move forward.
India skipper Rohit Sharma said after second T20I
For England, it is their batting which has been disappointing so far! Quite shocking to be honest, especially the form their players have come into in this game. The series is gone but they would still want to head into the ODI series with a win. They'll have to play really well if they are to do so. Welcome to the coverage of 3rd and the last T20I of this series.
