IND vs ENG Live Score: OH!!!! IS THAT A RUN OUT!!!! Good length ball at the leg stump. Ishan Kishan pushes that towards short mid-wicket and sets off for a single. But Abhishek Sharma sends him back.

India – 6/2 (2)

IND vs ENG Live Score: Full and outside the off stump. Samson throws his bat at that, but all he manages is slicing it to the man at point. His string of low scores continues.

There is a hint of drizzle in the air.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s much-anticipated India debut will not come in the first T20I against England, with the youngster missing out from the playing XI after India opted to bat first. The call keeps the focus on India’s existing top-order combination of Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, while the 15-year-old left-hander remains one of the biggest selection talking points of the series.

IND vs ENG Live Score: The playing XIs of the two teams –

India Playing XI : Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy

England Playing XI : Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood

IND vs ENG Live Score: India have won the toss and they have decided to bat first.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India have not lost the last five bilateral T20I series against England.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Shreyas Iyer starts the England series with pressure already building around India’s direction in T20Is. The Ireland defeat has put his captaincy, batting role and tactical calls under sharper focus, especially with a young squad trying to settle quickly. Against England, Iyer needs more than runs. He needs visible control, clearer decisions and an immediate response from a side short on confidence.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India’s build-up to the England T20Is comes with a growing list of uncomfortable records under Gautam Gambhir’s watch. The Ireland humiliation added another low point, with India suffering a rare series defeat against a side they were expected to dominate. It followed a wider pattern of results that has brought scrutiny on selection calls, tactical clarity and the team’s ability to respond under pressure. The England series now becomes another early test of recovery.
