For the viewers, who want to catch the IND vs ENG 5th T20I and don't know which channels to go to, here is the answer for you.
Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma are in the middle for India. Jofra Archer with the ball for England. BANGG for a six from Samson on the first ball. Looks like Samson is in pain after being hit on the glove by Archer. The physio comes out and Samson is good to go. BANNG again as Samson smashes Archer for another six and four. IND 16/0 (1)
Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is currently at the Wankhede Stadium. He caught up with both the captains post coin toss.
We are just moments away from the toss. Both the captains are in the middle for the toss. Jos Buttler wins the toss and England opt to bowl first.
The Indian team arrived at the Wankhede Stadium.
For England, the changes in the batting order looks unlikely. However, they could give some rest to pacer Jofra Archer. In that case one among Gus Atkinson and Mark Wood might come back.
As far as head-to-head record is concerned, India are ahead with a 16-12 margin. India have played a single T20I against England in Mumbai, but lost.
One of the major takeaways for India in the series is their plan to play with a single pacer. With the series already in pocket, will India change their plans? If yes, which spinner will sit out?
One of the major concernes for India will be the form of opener Sanju Samson, who had scores of 1, 3, 5 and 26 so far in the series. While Abhishek Sharma has proved his mettle with a few big scores, Samson need to come up with something tonight at Wankhede Stadium.
Mohammed Shami, who played just in Rajkot, is set to make a return in the fifth T20I. India bowling coach Morne Morkel on the eve of the match said, “You know, he's probably going to get an opportunity in the next game. We'll see how things go."
Today's match is a dead rubber as India have already won the series in Pune in the fourth game. India had earlier won in Kolkata and Chennai before losing the game in Rajkot.
Hello and welcome to the live coverage to the fifth and final T20I between India and England in Mumbai.
