India take on England in the third T20 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on Tuesday, Jan. 28. Play is set to start each day at 7 p.m. IST local time in India, which makes it a 1:30 p.m. GMT start in the UK.

England overcame Varun Chakravarthy’s 5-24 to beat India by 26 runs in the third T20 to keep the series alive.

England collapse from 83-1 to 127-8 before rallying somewhat to set India 172 to win; Adil Rashid (1-15) claims key wicket of in-form Tilak Varma (18) as hosts limp to 146-9 in reply; England trail 2-1 in the five-match series,

Wood was also among the powerplay wickets, before Rashid produced a ripping delivery to clean up the in-form Tilak Varma. The batter had made 336 runs between T20I dismissals, a run stretching back to successive unbeaten hundreds against South Africa last year. Rashid, though, did not give up a boundary in his spell.

England have named an unchanged XI for Tuesday's third T20 International (T20I) against India in Rajkot, a must-win game for the visitors who are 2-0 down in the five-match series.
