India bowl, Sooryavanshi out
England: 1 Phil Salt, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Harry Brook (capt), 4 Jacob Bethell, 5 Tom Banton, 6 Will Jacks, 7 Sam Curran, 8 Liam Dawson, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Josh Tongue
India: 1 Abhishek Sharma, 2 Sanju Samson (wk), 3 Ishan Kishan (wk), 4 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 5 Shivam Dube, 6 Tilak Varma, 7 Suryansh Shedge, 8 Axar Patel, 9 Prince Yadav, 10 Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna
“We’ve seen almost everything in this series,” said Shreyas Iyer as the toss in Southampton was delayed by 45 minutes because of traffic. India were unable to get to the ground on time but when the coin did go up, it fell in their favour. Iyer chose to bowl and confirmed two changes. Sanju Samson came in for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Suryansh Shedge came in for Washington Sundar.England, who have an unassaible 3-0 lead in the series, made room for Liam Dawson with Rehan Ahmed sitting out. India have never been clean swept in a multi-match T20I series. Should that happen on Sunday, they’ll lose their No. 1 ranking to their opposition. Harry Brook has already made mention of how cool that would be as he embarks on life as an all-format England captain in-waiting.The BCCI had announced that they would look into the events of the team’s UK tour and why it has gone awry. The Samson-Sooryavanshi swap might dominate those conversations. The Player of the T20 World Cup was left out after three low scores (5, 0, 1). Now their youngest ever international debutant suffers the same fate (14, 13, 15). At 15 years old, how will he be taking this rotation/rejection?
