The lush green outfield is contrasted by the orange skies as the sun sets in Rajkot. It's nearly time for live action in this 3rd T20I. Fireworks are expected so strap yourselves in and enjoy the show.
We've made one change to our expert XI on Fantasy Handbook. Do take a look before locking in your fantasy team.
So there's confirmation. Mohammad Shami is back in action in an Indian shirt after 14 months!
Teams:
England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
India (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Dhruv Jurel, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
Jos Buttler: Looks a really good surface, looking forward to batting. We would've chased as well. Looks a good wicket, guys have had a good practice yesterday and we're excited for the match. Was a really good game of cricket, we fought really hard and pushed them all the way. We need to play really well tonight. We know how well India play, they're a strong team. We need a good total to defend. Same team but Jamie Smith will keep wickets, Salt has got a little stiff calf.
India have won the toss and have opted to field
Suryakumar Yadav: We will bowl first, looks nice and hard, don't think it will change later as well. Rajkot has always been a good track, sure it will be a sporting one. We wanted to play a different brand of cricket but at the same time you need to understand the situation and he (Tilak) bailed the side out. We'll look at it as a 3 game series from here, boys are charged up. Arshdeep is resting, Shami comes in.
India have won the toss and have opted to field
ICYMI: Yesterday, batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed that Shami is fit and there is a plan to play him during the series. But it remains to be seen if it'll be this game that marks his comeback. "That is something the coach Gautam and obviously Surya will take a call. But fitness is definitely not a problem. It depends on how they are planning to build his load," Kotak had said.
Here are some important updates from Gokul who's at the ground, "Shami is warming up on the side wicket with a short run-up. Gautam Gambhir having a close look" he says.
In case you need a quick refresher on what's happened in the series, it stands 2-0 in India's favour. The first game at the Eden Gardens wasn't much of contest as England were rolled over for just 132. The second one, however, was a lot closer and had everyone at the edge of their seats.
