IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Big record for Abhishek!
Abhishek may have missed out on the fastest century by a player from a Test-playing nation, but he has got another one. Reaching his ton in 10.1 overs, it is the earliest a player has reached a T20I hundred.
The previous record was held by Quinton de Kock's ton vs WI in 2023 at Centurion, which came in 10.2 overs.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Shivam Dube in the middle
Shivam Dube has walked in at No. 5. A slight lull in the scoring rate, only 5 runs come off the 11th over. Decent over by Brydon Carse, who is now 2/14 in 2 overs.
Suryakumar Yadav mistimes his signature shot, and is gone! The ball went miles up and Phil Salt took a terrific catch. A series to forget for India's T20I captain.
The record is in sight! Six more, Abhishek Sharma needs to score 6 more runs in 2 balls for the record of the fastest-ever century by a non-associate nation player.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: India's highest powerplay score ever!
India have smashed their highest powerplay score ever! 95 runs in 6 overs. Tilak Varma is now getting into the act! Two boundaries and a SIX, and he's up to 19 in just 7 balls.
Oh dear! Sanju Samson was looking good, but he's gone. Aimed near the body, Samson gets tucked in for space, and times it straight to Archer at deep square-leg. Mark Wood strikes.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: New batting stance for Samson
Sanju Samson is using a different batting stance today. He has struggled against the short ball in this series, and is taking guard even beyond his off-stump today, on a fourth or fifth stump line.
Sanju Samson has started off with a bang! 6 off the first ball, and then 6 and 4 to end the over. Injury? No problem for him it seems. New batting stance working wonders for Samson.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: India not taking it lightly
Despite winning the series, India are not taking the 5th T20I lightly. Apart from the pacer change, the team remains exactly the same, at full-strength.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: All eyes on Abhishek and Sanju
Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have formed a powerful opening pair, but they haven't yet stitched a big partnership together in the series. Samson, in particular, has scored three single-digit scores in a row, and will be desperate to make this game count.
Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: "We have four impact subs": Buttler
Jos Buttler was full-on tongue-in-cheek with his humour during the toss. In a sly reference to the concussion substitute saga, Buttler said that England have four impact subs for the match!
IND vs ENG 5th T20I LIVE: Chance for Shami to impress
Mohammed Shami went wicketless in the 3rd T20I, finishing with figures of 0/25 in 3 overs. He will be hoping to strike early tonight, against an inconsistent but dangerous England batting lineup.
Harshit Rana could feel hard done by for not getting a place in the XI. He was at the centre of the concussion substitute controversy in the 4th T20I, but performed admirably under pressure, taking 3 big wickets.
We will switch our focus to a three-match ODI series right after this between India and England. Much-needed preparation for the two sides before the all-important Champions Trophy 2025!
Visuals of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav warming up can be seen. Could that be a sign that the two senior stars will play despite India have wrapped up the series win?
Remember, we are at the Wankhede, a stadium Hardik and SKY call 'home' in the IPL.
Let's talk about Varun Chakravarthy. The mystery spinner has been in the form of his life, and has now become the very first Indian bowler to take 10+ wickets in two T20I series.
Varun has taken 12 scalps in 4 games in the series against England so far.
