Indian opener Abhishek Sharma plummeted the English bowling attack with his attacking batting. He reached his 100 in just 37 balls. He took 10 sixes and five 4s to get his historic hundred. Well done Abhishek.

Tilak Varma is out. Tilak Varma falls made 24(15). India hammered 69 off last 5 overs. Suryakumar is the new man in.

Abhishek Sharma continues to hammer English bowlers for sixes and fours. The left hander reached his 90s now. All eyes on his 100 now, taking India to a mammoth total.

Indian batters are fearless here at Wankhede. Abhishek Sharma is well supported by Tilak Varma as he has also smashed 19 off 8 balls. India 97/1 in just 6 overs.

Aamir Khan,his son Zunaid Khan Mukesh Ambani, his daughter-in-law Shloka Ambani can be seen chearing up the Team India batters at Wankhede.

With Abhishek Sharma’s swashbuckling 38 off 15 balls, India have gone past 50 in 3.5 over. The hosts need this to continue.

18 runs off the third over. What a form Abhishek Sharma is having. 0 4 0 2 6 6 – This is how Sharma tackled Jofra Archer. India desperately needs Sharma to deliver here.

Sanju Samson‘s poor form continues as the wicketkeeper batter got out for 16 off 7 balls. This is his 5th consecutive departure in this series where he could not deliver. IND 21/1

India (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have shown promise as an opening pair, but they’ve yet to build a significant partnership in the series. Samson, especially, has struggled with three consecutive single-digit scores and will be eager to make an impact in this match.

“A venue where boundary count is very high. 64m and 63n square boundaries respectively, 71m down the ground. It’s a red soil pitch. There are a few cracks but not much grass near the full length early. There’s some grass cover around the good length area, so there might be some movement for the pace bowlers. The pacers need to target the stumps. There hasn’t been much dew around, but electing to bowl first is a good option,” Knight said.

Harshit Rana might feel unfortunate not to make the XI. He was at the heart of the concussion substitute controversy in the 4th T20I but delivered a stellar performance, claiming 3 crucial wickets under pressure.

Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

England‘s captain showed a bit of cheek there, though it seems Ravi Shastri missed picking up on it. “We have got one change, Mark Wood comes in and our four impact subs are Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson,” Buttler said.

“We wanted to bat first, looks a good wicket. I am hoping there won’t be much dew. It’s going to be a full-packed stadium tonight. We want the boys taking that responsibility, that’s what we demand and that’s what they are doing. You will fail sometimes, especially when you play that high risk, high reward game. Shami comes back in for Arshdeep Singh,” said Suryakumar Yadav.

Mohammed Shami is back in the playing XI! The 34-year-old pacer replaces Arshdeep Singh, marking India’s only change for the game. Shami has been preferred over Harshit Rana for this match.
