England vs India, T20I


  • Ben Stokes and Tom Curran are not fit for this match but could come into contention for the latter two games which will give Morgan more options.

  • Without the rested Mark Wood, Chris Jordan, David Willey and Liam Plunkett should make up the seam attack in the final eleven in Manchester as they did in Birmingham with Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali supplying the spin. Joe Root, despite some scrutiny over his place in the side and the inclusion of Dawid Malan in the squad as injury cover for Tom Curran, will keep his slot in the middle order.

  • Umesh Yadav was the biggest positive this year for the IPL team that Virat Kohli leads, and is likely to edge Siddarth Kaul to the fast-bowler's spot left vacant by the injured Jasprit Bumrah

  • The middle-order around MS Dhoni at 5 also seems uncertain. India have three options in Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik for potentially two spots - No.4 and No. 6 or 7 - with Hardik Pandya also being a definite starter as one of the finishers.
