22:52Â IST:Â What a match! What a turnaround from Bumrah and Nehra at the end. The duo were sensational in their use of off-cutters combined with some brilliant yorkers. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. That's it from us. Adios!!
22:49 IST: India captain Virat Kohli: It's important to have a self belief. It was a case of us executing really well in the beginning. Bumrah and Nehra were outstanding in the end. To defend 40 in five overs with dew present is outstanding. Raina bowled four for us so we didn't have to bowl Pandya with the wet ball. Strong character shown by the side, something I am proud of. Nehra is an experienced performer, he knows what to do. Bumrah was asking me what to do every ball. It was an outstanding innings from Rahul on a pitch where shot-making was difficult. He's one player who has all the shots in the book. It's like my second home, can't wait to go there. Some things we need to tighten up but all in all a very good performance.
22:47 IST: England captain Eoin Morgan: We were in the driving seat right up until the last over. Didn't start the over well. A decision went against us. Fair play to Bumrah to produce a match winning over. These last two games, we've been right on the money with the ball. All credit to the bowlers. We never let the rate get away from us in the chase. Root and Stokes played well. Unbelievably disappointing to lose this game. It's extremely competitive. Two teams not giving each other an inch.
22:46 IST:Â Jasprit Bumrah: It's always difficult bowling in the death. I try to focus on my good days and remember those days when I am bowling. We saw the first innings; the wicket was difficult. To clear the back of a length deliveries and slower balls out of the ground was difficult. We were trying to execute that. I try to stick to my basics. The ball was getting wet, so bowling yorkers was difficult. Hence I bowled back of a length and on the stumps.

2nd T20I. England win the toss and elect to field https://t.co/YOlUsifWTM @Paytm #IndvEng

18:37 IST: India have made one change in their line-up. Leg spinner Amit Mishra comes in place of Parvez Rasool
Photo Credit: BCCIIndia (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w), Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ashish Nehra
Virat Kohli:Â "Preferably wanted to bowl first, but seeing the last game against New Zealand, it became a lot difficult to chase and the wicket became slow. The pitch will deteriorate as the game progress. We've got an extra leg spinner. For an off-spinner, we thought we could use Raina as an option. 8 overs from two leg spinners might be the difference between them. Two leg spinners might create some difference. There will be turn for sure. First innings is the best time to bat on for sure. We are not too upset about losing the toss. Just the one change and rest of the side are same."
England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Sam Billings, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills
Eoin Morgan: "We are going to bowl first. There is a bit of grass on it and looks like a typical Indian wicket. Plunket misses out and Dawson is playing, we've got an extra spinner. It is coming towards the end of the tour and we are looking to finish it as well as we can. Lot of determination out there and winning in India is difficult. We aren't taking our last two wins granted."
"I think it will turn more than it did in the T20 World Cup that was played between India and New Zealand. It is a lot drier today. England are bringing in an extra spinner. There will be dew factor for sure." analyse Sunil Gavaskar and Nasser Hussain in their pitch report
As far as the teams are concerned, England wouldn't want to tinker their winning combination much and are likely to go unchanged. Meanwhile for India, with Rahul's failure at the top, Mandeep Singh and Rishabh Pant - the two reserve batsmen in the squad who are primarily openers in the shortest form - may come into the fray.Â
18:31 IST: Toss time!! England captain Eoin Morgan wins toss and opts to bowl
18:30 IST: Hello and Welcome to the live blog.
Virat Kohli was modestly successful in opening the innings and though the captain has been saving the day for his team more often than not, his teammates should rise to the occasion especially when it matters.
India can also bring in medium pacer Bhuvneshwar in the second match after Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah proved expensive, even according to T20I standards.
England, on the other hand, will be full of confidence after a complete team performance at Green Park.
