20:52 (IST)

20:46 (IST)
India vs England Live Updates ENG 137/4(16)---England are moving towards a huge score here. Except Mohammed Shami, none of the bowlers have showed any skill set to be proud of. Meanwhile Bumrah completed his third over, he gave away 21 runs.

India vs England Live Updates ENG 8/0(1): First over of the day from Bhuvneshwar Kumar ends with England scoring eight runs. Jason Roy and Jos Butler opening for England.
19:28 (IST)
In this situation if the team punts on him, expecting that his ‘MS Dhoni-esque’ helicopter shots will come off, they would have to decide which is a better slot for him. Is it above Rishabh Pant at No. 5, or at No. 6, where he may get only 15 balls at the max to show his prowess.
19:21 (IST)
If Rahul is the team’s preferred choice, Kishan might just force Hardik into the No. 6 slot in the batting order, which is ideal for a finisher. For MI, both Hardik and Kishan had underwhelming returns in the UAE leg. Hardik is another big factor in this line-up as chances of him bowling full tilt or for that matter bowling at all are very less.
IND vs ENG, Live Cricket Score, T20 World Cup 2021 Warm-up Match Updates: India would look to fine-tune their preparation for the 2021 men’s T20 World Cup when they face 2016 runners-up England in their first warm-up match in Dubai on Monday. Match practice will not be an issue as the Indian players are coming after playing for their franchises in the recently-concluded IPL. It’s more about finding the right combination ahead of their opening match.

The two warm-up matches, against England followed by the match against Australia on Wednesday, gives Virat Kohli and Indian team management a chance to finalise their playing eleven before the high-octane opening clash with Pakistan on October 24. India will be looking to test players for the showpiece event apart from assessing all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s form, especially with the ball. Pandya’s form is a big headache as the mystery over his availability to bowl in the tournament continues.
With Rohit Sharma certain to open, it remains to be seen whether Ishan Kishan or KL Rahul will partner him at the top. Rahul’s scores, while captaining Punjab Kings in the UAE leg of IPL 2021, read as 49, 21, 21, 67, 39, and 98 not out. Kishan, on the other hand, had measly returns of 11, 14, and 9 while batting in the middle order for Mumbai Indians. After a break of two matches, he returned to slam 50 not out and 84 as an opener.
In terms of bowling, Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakravarthy could be the spin options. In the pace department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah pick themselves on account of form and experience. It could be a toss-up between Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, and Rahul Chahar for the fifth bowler’s spot.
England, on the other hand, will look to decide on their best combinations in batting and bowling during the warm-up matches. Some players from their team also starred in IPL 2021, giving them a good knowledge of what to expect from the UAE pitches. The form of skipper Eoin Morgan, who had a very woeful IPL 2021 with the bat, will be of major concern for the think tank.
