The series stays alive as England break a losing rut. To do so on a track which had the greatest degree of turn so far will keep them happy. Adil Rashid's experience has come off use with his leg-spin giving his side a lot of momentum particularly in taking Tilak Varma's wicket with what could be the ball of the series.

Key Players

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has been a touch out of form for a bit. His starts aren't being converted to those significant 30s and 40s while his ramps have not found the fence. He has some time to regain his form but is a core member of the T20 side.

Jamie Overton

Jamie Overton has been in some good form of late. He is handy as an all-rounder and his bowling has been pretty effective along with some late hitting with the bat.

IND vs ENG Match Tips

Both teams have a nice balance in their line-up but on a good batting track England could start favorites.
