Ben Stokes’ men have leapfrogged the visitors in confidence and results after a thrilling Lord’s victory and have the chance to take an unassailable lead in Manchester. However, battered by the ignominious collapse and defeat, India will also need to make serious decisions after injuries have hampered them in the build-up to the game.
Drafting in on SOS, Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj is on the brink of making a stunning debut for the country in whites at Old Trafford where India have only played once before in the 21st century, back in 2014. Karun Nair too seems to have lost the rope extended by the management with young southpaw Sai Sudharsan slated to take his place at No. 3 in the XI. Lots to ponder as the teams will brace up for a muggy weather combat in Manchester.
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Anshul Kamboj
England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Jamie Smith(w), Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer
