Big picture

 

England took the weak link that cost them the Test and ODI series and used it effectively to turn things around for a comprehensive win in the first T20. It was their bowling that could not win them a Test in the five-match series, it could not keep the pressure on in the middle and end overs in the 2-1 ODI series loss, but all that turned around in the first T20 to set up a comprehensive seven-wicket win in Kanpur.

With Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan, England displayed a fresh look and attitude on the tour, it looked like they were not carrying any baggage from the two series losses, and "were playing more freely," Virat Kohli said in Kanpur. They already have their batting line-up retained from the ODIs, and Sam Billings' destructive form at the top augurs well for a 2-0 lead in Nagpur. All those put together are dangerous signs for India who could neither score freely nor contain the England batsmen on Thursday.

India's main problem was back to where it has been very often - the end overs - although more with the batsmen this time. A lack of partnerships hurt them, and England's clever and accurate bowling saw India struggle to collect boundaries. India's fast bowlers weren't effective either, and lacked the one-on-one plans that England's bowlers seemed to have for India's batsmen.

In the spotlight

 

India's opening stands in the limited-overs matches of the tour have read 34, 13, 14 and 13. The partnership of 34 in Kanpur was dominated by Kohli, which means increased pressure on KL Rahul, who totalled 24 runs in the ODI series. Rahul will be itching to get some more runs under his belt before the Champions Trophy.

England's death-overs specialist Chris Jordan came into the T20 XI with a fine performance despite playing his first match of the tour. India will have to come up with solid plans to score off him at the end of the innings given his accuracy of the wide yorkers and variations in pace.

 

Team news

 

India may bring in a new opener to solve their woes at the top, but are more likely to change the bowling attack to contain the England batsmen. Amit Mishra will be more useful on the big ground in Nagpur compared to Kanpur, which could mean two legspinners in the XI given Yuzvendra Chahal's 2 for 27 in the first T20. Bhuvneshwar Kumar may also get a look in with his form in the ODI series.

India (probable): 1 Virat Kohli (capt), 2 KL Rahul/Rishabh Pant, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5, MS Dhoni (wk), 6 Manish Pandey, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Parvez Rasool/Amit Mishra, 9 Yuzvendra Chahal, 10 & 11 Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Ashish Nehra/Jasprit Bumrah

England have no reason to change the winning XI that earned them the "complete performance", according to Eoin Morgan. Adil Rashid will probably get some overs, if not all four, especially if India's batsmen come back harder.

England (probable): 1 Sam Billings, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Jordan, 9 Liam Plunkett, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Tymal Mills

 

Pitch and conditions

 

It's a much bigger ground but the pitch is likely to be flat which means there will be something for both batsmen and bowlers. Sunday, like the last few days, is expected to see temperatures in late twenties when the match begins.

Quotes

 

"He tries to lead from the front in his body language and the way he plays his cricket. We try to follow suit."
Chris Jordan had some words of praise for his captain Eoin Morgan.

 

"My aim is to bowl stump-to-stump. It will be based on situation and the wicket when I come to bowl, which side of the ground is bigger."
Yuzvendra Chahal spills some of his plans for Sunday.

" 6.10pm Rishabh Pant batted along with the regulars at the nets yesterday. After the net session, he spent time taking throwdowns. Then had a long chat with Yuvraj Singh. A debut beckons then? If so, who goes out? KL Rahul hasn't had a great limited-overs series so far, as is the case with Manish Pandey. Is there perhaps a case for moving Rahul down an have Pant open with Kohli? Lots to look forward to. There could also be a case of giving Amit Mishra a go here in place of Parvez Rasool. We shall find out soon"

 

Signs look that Rishab Pant could get a Game
