In the fifth T20I match against Team India, England has reached the score of 111 runs for the loss of one wicket in 10 overs at The Ageas Bowl in West End.
Opening the innings for England, Phil Salt departed for six runs in nine balls, including a boundary.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and captain Harry Brook are unbeaten at the crease.
Team India's Prasidh Krishna has bagged one wicket. Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Axar Patel, and Suryansh Shedge are yet to claim any wickets.
Earlier, Team India's skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first against the "Three Lions".
The "Men in Blue" entered the clash with two major changes, where wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been picked in the playing XI by dropping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Washington Sundar also made way for Suryansh Shedge.
When asked if the delay in getting to the ground has affected the team, Iyer said, "Not really. I personally feel that we've seen almost everything in this series and also the one which we played before. So, another challenge, another day altogether. We are up for the challenge and it's a great opportunity overall".
He also said that he expects the team to give a 100 per cent on the field, irrespective of the result.
"I just want them to have a solid set of mindset where they just go in and try to get the best out of themselves, rather than sulking or being in that situation where you are a bit hurried out the game, give yourself some time, relax, take a breather. So just be in the moment and stop thinking about what's happened or what's going to happen".
Speaking about the changes in the playing 11, Iyer said, "Yeah, we've got two changes. Suryansh Shedge in for Washington and Sanju Samson comes in for Sooryavanshi. I feel this is the time we need to try what's the best going forward for us as a team. So based on that, we decided this".
On the other hand, the "Three Lions" have made just one change. Liam Dawson came in place of Rehan Ahmed.
India: Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shreyas Iyer (C), Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, Suryansh Shedge, Axar Patel, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (WK), Harry Brook (C), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue.
