We are gonna bat first. Looks like a good wicket. Good pitch, sun is out, better to bat first. Recovered pretty well, had a couple of hits before getting into this game. We know the scheduling, we got to have the understanding. We are making him (Arshdeep) play, the other guys will have their chance. Arshdeep has done well in the IPL, looks an exciting prospect.

Toss news

1st T20I: India skipper Rohit Sharma wins the toss and opts to bat against England in Southampton.

22:04 (IST) Jul 07

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of India. They will BAT first.

22:03 (IST) Jul 07

PITCH REPORT - Graeme Swann says that it looks a very good wicket. There won't be much seam movement but the pace will play a key role. This ground has one of the largest boundaries.

21:49 (IST) Jul 07

JUST IN - Arshdeep handed debut cap by skipper Rohit

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been handed the India T20I debut cap. He will be playing his maiden international game tonight against England.

Team India's roster ahead of T20 World Cup

India have about 15 T20 games to play before the T20 World Cup in Australia in October -- three against England in the current series, five against the West Indies (July 29-August 7), about 5 in Asia Cup (August-September) and three against Australia (September). The England series will mark the beginning of the process to identify its best XI for the marquee event.

21:30 (IST) Jul 07

Buttler and Livingstone danger

For England, the series marks the beginning of the Jos Buttler era following the retirement of Eoin Morgan. Ben Stokes and star of the fifth Test against India, Jonny Bairstow, have been rested from the series. However, there is enough firepower in the England batting to rattle the opposition. Both Buttler and Liam Livingstone showed devastating form in the IPL and would be looking to build on that.

21:16 (IST) Jul 07

The bowling combination

In the bowling department, pacer Umran Malik will be brimming with confidence after defending 17 runs in the last over of a high-scoring second T20 against Ireland. However, he remains a work in progress and needs to improve on his accuracy. The pacers including the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar and wily Harshal Patel were stunned by the Irish attack and against a tougher opposition, they will have to be at their best. Yuzvendra Chahal will be expected to replace Ravi Bishnoi in the playing eleven.

21:05 (IST) Jul 07

Time for Surya to deliver

Suryakumar Yadav, who made a comeback from injury against Ireland, could not get going in the games in Malahide and will be backing himself to get back to his innovative best. He and Hooda were amongst the runs in the warm-up against Derbyshire last week.

20:47 (IST) Jul 07

Where will Hooda bat, if he plays!

With Virat Kohli expected to be back at number three from game two, Deepak Hooda will be aiming for another match-winning effort to keep himself in the mix. With a century and 47 not out against Ireland, Hooda has certainly made it tougher for the team management to keep him out of the eleven. The uncapped duo of Rahul Tripathi and Arshdeep Singh have not been included for second and third T20 and it is unlikely they will get a look in on Thursday.

20:34 (IST) Jul 07

Eyes on Ishan

Ishan Kishan has done reasonably well in the chances that he has got and he will look to strengthen his position in the team as a reserve opener with a substantial knock against the mighty England.

20:34 (IST) Jul 07

Will Ruturaj get a game?

In the absence of the regulars, fringe players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson will have one more game to make a statement though they seem to have fallen in the pecking order in India's list of probables for the World Cup in Australia. A niggle meant Gaikwad could not open alongside Ishan Kishan in the two games in Ireland and if Rohit is back, he will have to warm the bench once again.

20:33 (IST) Jul 07

Rohit expected to feature in opener

Skipper Rohit Sharma, who missed the fifth Test in Birmingham after contracting COVID-19, is expected to feature in the series-opener. Test players including Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will join the T20 squad from the second game onwards.

20:33 (IST) Jul 07

Time for experimentation over

Experimentation will go out of the window as India will get down to finalising their best eleven for the World Cup during the series against an ultra-aggressive England.
