India win the toss and will bat!
Shreyas Iyer says he is going to have a bat, tactially India need to be up to the mark. Surface looks good. Two changes – Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krisha replace Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy, who are both injured.
Harry Brook would have batted too. He says England “played awesome” at Trent Bridge. More of the same, he urges. One change: Rehan Ahmed replaces Liam Dawson.
Preamble
Hello! Come swelter with me as we watch England and India roll into match four of this under-the radar T20 series.
Today, it’s Bristol: England with a spring in their step and an unassailable two-nil lead, India with some red faces after a record international T20 defeat – bowled out for 76 in 11.4 overs at Trent Bridge. So far the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi fireworks have failed to spark – bounced out for 13 by Jofra Archer at Trent Bridge and stumped for 14 at Old Trafford. Will he light the touch paper today? Join me to find out. Toss soon, start of play 5.30BST.
