England v India: fifth men’s T20 international - live
A live report covers the fifth men's T20 international cricket match between England and India. The commentary includes analysis on coaching strategies and the potential for a new tactical approach in short-form cricket.
Why it matters
Cricket is a major sport in the UK and India, and coaching philosophies significantly impact team performance.
9th over: India 102-2 (Kishan 47, Iyer 22) Kishan is playing a blinder. First some red-hot running to get back to the non-striker’s end for two, beating a direct hit from straight down the ground. Then takes strike and lifts Curran over fine leg for six. Then sends another ball the same way for four! That over goes for 15, which is ahead of the required rate for India. They need 156 from 11 overs.
Sports reporting is generally neutral, though it incorporates subjective commentary on coaching.
