India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: SKY, Samson's form in focus as IND look to hammer home superiority

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: England really have had no meaningful way of getting the past the Indian spinners in this series. They have taken a combined 24 wickets in this series, the most they ever have in a bilateral series.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: The two sides have arrived at the Wankhede Stadium.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Largely placid tracks with some fairly good bounce for the seamers, that is what one normally gets to see at the Wankhede Stadium. Eight T20Is have been played here thus far, of which three was as a neutral venue during the 2016 T20 World Cup. India have hosted five T20Is and won four of them. The only team to beat them? England, on December 22, 2012.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Sanjay Manjrekar has said that players as mercurial as Sanju Samson should be allowed to have a lot of failures as when they do strike, they take the game away from the opposition. “And you see with Sanju Samson, when he plays well, he gets an incredible hundred and puts your team in a winning position. So, such people are allowed failures and maybe a long patch of failures as well because that is the nature of these as a T20 cricketer, where you cannot play yourself, where you have to keep taking those risks that they take, and hopefully there is one innings that just propels him back into form,” said Manjrekar on ESPNCricinfo.

"So, with Samson, I think you should just make sure that he gets as many innings as possible purely because when he gets into form and plays well, he makes it all worth it. If that was another guy who was failing in this fashion and when he got into form just got you 40 or 50, then maybe you would offer him a shorter rope. But I will have a lot of patience with this current version of Sanju Samson," he added.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav were sharing a behemoth of a partnership and destroying the Bangladesh bowling attack not too long ago. However, that has ended up being the last time SKY scored more than 50 runs in an innings. Samson went on to score two more centuries in the next four innings but in this series, he has scores of 26, 5, 3 and 1.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Shami played just one match in this series and there were a lot of raised eyebrows when he was not selected in the first T20I. However, it was all part of the plan. The priority was to get Shami warming up before matches and work closely with the team physios in the nets.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Morne Morkel was all praise for how Mohammed Shami is shaping up in this series. "Shami has been bowling really well. You know, catching to him at warm-ups, (the ball) is really hitting the glove hard. So, (we're) very happy with how he's coming along. You know, he's probably going to get an opportunity in the next game. We'll see how things go. But, yeah, (we're) excited to have him back in the group," Morkel said.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Mohammed Shami got one match in this series and there is a chance that the Indian management could want him to get one more before the run of ODI matches. The obvious option seems to be to keep Arshdeep Singh out again but India might also consider getting an extra seamer considering the conditions at the Wankhede. It will be interesting to see which spinner makes way in that case.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Considering the way that match went, Saqib Mahmood's unbelievable first over of this tour might seem like a distant memory for England. But regardless of the result, that certainly was a moment rarely seen in a T20 match - a triple wicket maiden. It started with Sanju Samson's wicket and that was followed by Tilak Varma going the very next ball. Suryakumar Yadav managed to keep Mahmood from getting a hat-trick but he couldn only survive three more deliveries. India were thus 12/3 at the end of the second over and they went and won a cricket match from that position.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Brendon McCullum had made it clear that the England team management has moved beyond the stage of managing Jofra Archer's workload, signalling a possible retunr to full fitness at long last for the pace spearhead. Despite this, there is a good chance that he could be rested today as he has bowled all 16 of his available overs thus far in this series.
