IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Chakravarthy continues in the seventh over, Livingstone takes a hack and it goes high leg side. Rinku keeps his eye on the ball and takes the catch.

Livingstone c Singh b Varun 9 (5)

England 68/4 in 6.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: And Ravi Bishnoi is the next man to get a tick on his wickets’ column. Quite similar to how he fell in the fourth T20I, slog sweep goes awry and Varun takes a brilliant catch running in from deep square.

Brook c Varun b Ravi Bishnoi 2 (4)

England 59/3 in 5.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Buttler tries to go after Chakravarthy first ball, he really had no choice but to do that. Chakravarthy had dug it in Buttler skies his attempted heave and holes out at long off.

Buttler c Tilak Varma b Varun 7 (7)

England 48/2 in 4.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Phil Salt is very much in the act here. Pandya sends in a low full toss first ball of the fourth over, Salt flicks it over square leg for a six. Then Buttler gets into the act, slaps the fourth ball over cover point for a four. Single next ball and then Salt smashes the last one down the ground for a four. He is on 39 off 17.

England 48/1 in 4 overs, need 200 to win from 96

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Who takes the catch? Well, Abhishek Sharma of course. This ball was full and outside off, Duckett takes a swing but it comes off the bottom edge of the bat. Simple catch for Abhishek at cover.

Duckett c Abhishek Sharma b Shami 0(1)

England 23/1 in 2.1 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well England have come in with the intention to fight. Full from Shami first up, Salt sends it through extra cover for a four. The second stays full but is straighter, Salt belts it back down the ground for another four. Shami goes shorter, Salt sends that soaring into the stands over midwicket. Two runs off the next ball and then a single off the last. Wowza!

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: All right, if England can give this even a fair fight, this will turn into an absolute epic of a T20 match. Mohammed Shami steaming in for the first over, Phil Salt on strike and Ben Duckett at the other end. England need 248 to win.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India did decelerate towards the end and still scored almost 250 runs, which is how brutal they were for much of this innings. And almost all of it can be credited to Abhishek Sharma. He has broken the record for the highest score by an Indian in T20Is. Abhishek hit seven fours and as many as 13 sixes in that knock.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: They will be talking about this innings for a long time to come in this proud cricketing city. Abhishek hit sixes off the second and fifth balls of this over, he goes for another off the last but this time, it goes high up in the air. Sweeper cover takes the catch and then almost every England player to a man walks up to shake Abhishek’s hands. The Wankhede goes quiet for about a millisecond before belting out chants of “Abhishek! Abhishek!” The man turns around and raises his bat as he walks off as well.

Abhishek Sharma c Archer b Rashid 135 (54)

India 237/7 in 18 oversH

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Brydon Carse comes back for his last over, Abhishek clears his front leg first ball and smashes it right over the umpire’s head for a four. Two runs next two balls and then the next ball is sent high over long on for what has to surely be his 1000th six. Single next ball and then Axar Patel smashes the last ball back over the bowler’s head for a four. Abhishek on 120 off 49 balls, Axar on five off three.

India 219/6 in 17 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: England have done well to make sure that India don’t dominate the middle overs as much as they did in the powerplay. It was a length ball on the stumps, Rinku pushed it to covers for a single but Archer appeals and the umpire Rohan Pandit gives it! Rinku reviews and replays show that the ball seemed to graze the flap of his pad before meeting the bat. Ball-tracking showed that it had straightened a bit and so the umpire’s decision stands.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: He looks at Abhishek Sharma with a wry smile before walking off, does Hardik Pandya. Mark Wood bowling the 15th over, the third ball is short and angling into the stumps and Pandya pulls it over midwicket for a six. Then Pandya whips the fourth ball powerfully and it travels to the boundary flat and in the air… only to be taken by Duckett. That ball was reaching escape velocity, that’s how quick it was travelling, but it is straight down the throat of the man there.

Pandya c Livingstone b Wood 9 (6)

India 193/5 in 14.4 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Amid all the carnage, Brydon Carse has got his third wicket in his third over.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Overton comes in from around the wicket, Dube sends the first ball back over the bowler’s head for a six. The second ball is sent in from over the wicket, a yorker outside off, Dube gets a thick edge which races away between the wicketkeeper and short third man. Three runs off the next three balls, with England buring a review off the fourth, and Abhishek sends the last ball one-handed over backward point for another four. He is on 106 off 42 balls, Dube on 26 off 11.

India 178/3 in 13 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India have crossed 150 in the 12th over. Archer starts off with a quick yorker as he returns to possibly snaffle Dube. The second ball is short, Dube pulls it between deep square leg and deep midwicket for a four. Archer sends in another short one, this time Dube hooks it over long leg for a six. Singles off the last three balls and Dube is on 14 off seven, Abhishek on 102 off 40.

India 161/3 in 12 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: A forgettable series with the bat comes to an end for Suryakumar Yadav on what could be an unforgettable night generally. Full and angling into the stumps by Carse, SKY tries his Supla shot but it takes a top edge and goes a few kilometres up into the night sky. It was swirling and spitting fire as it came down and Salt had to dive to his left to complete a very good catch.

Suryakumar Yadav c Salt b Carse 2 (3)

India 145/2 in 10.2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: And it has come in just 37 balls!

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Abhishek sends the third ball of that over from Rashid through cover for a four. He works the next one down the ground for a single and then SKY taps the fifth fine for a couple of runs, with practically every fielder back defending the boundary. SKY cuts the last ball to point. The record for the fastest century in a match between two full-member nations is 35 balls by David Miller and Rohit Sharma. Abhishek is on 99 off 36.

India 144/2 in 10 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: It is Tilak, not Abhishek but any wicket is good for England at this stage. The partnership ends on 115 off 43 balls. Carse digs it in short, Tilak tries to ramp it with a raised bat over his head. He can only get an edge and Phil Salt takes the catch. Brief silence at the Wankhede and then the crowd starts cheering as they realise it is Suryakumar Yadav walking out.

Tilak Varma c Salt b Carse 24 (15)

India 136/2 in 9 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: The carnage continues. Adil Rashid comes in, he has been almost impossible to score against in this series but doesn’t matter. Two singles off the first two balls and then Abhishek smashes the third over long on. That brings up India’s 100 off the third ball of the seventh over. Abhishek charges at the next ball, lofts it straight back again and that’s another six. Singles off the next two balls, Abhishek on 72 off 25 balls, Tilak on 21 off 10 balls.

India 111/1 in 7 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: What can England do here? Nothing much at the moment. Liam Livingstone came in for the last over of the powerplay, starts with a length delivery that straightens after pitching, Abhishek sends it through cover point for a four. Cannot time the hit down the ground next ball and Abhishek takes a single. The fourth ball is short and straight Varma puunches it through cover for a four. Then he reverse sweeps Livingstone past short third for another four. Two leg byes of the last ball, Varma on 19 off eight, Abhishek on 58 off 21 balls.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Abhishek Sharma what are you doing to this cricket match! This is getting into Chris Gayle territory. Jamie Overton comes in for the fifth over, his first ball is too full and Abhishek hits it back over the bowler’s head for six. Then a full toss and Abhishek elegantly hits it back over the bowler’s head for another six. That’s fifty in 17 balls and the second highest ever in T20Is.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: This is just an exhibition from Abhishek Sharma! Tilak gets off strike first ball of that over from Wood. Then Abhishek pulls the second past midwicket for a four. The next is sent down the ground with an immaculate on-drive, he can do it all this Abhishek Sharma. He swings at the next one and misses and then he nails that same swing next ball, sends it over point for another six. Abhishek takes a single to stay on strike last ball. Wowza!

India 55/1 in 4 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: This is astonishing batting from the young opener. He chargers the second ball of that over and smashes Archer through extra cover for four. The next ball is a bumper and a dot, Abhishek picks two off the fourth. The fifth ball is met with a perfectly timed cut over point for a six and the next is almost identical, only better, for another six. Abhishek on 23 off 10 at the end of that over.

India 39/1 in 3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well it’s the same old story at the end of it all. Wood bowls this into Samson’s hips from wider of the crease, the latter swivels and pulls straight into the hands of backward square leg. Nope, it is not an action replay, this really is a fresh dismissal.

Samson c Archer b Wood 16 (7)

India 21/1 in 2 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Samson needed some treatment on his finger off the third ball of that over and then finished it with a six and a four. The third ball moved into him from a length and rapped Samson on the bottom hand. He takes the gloves off and the physio comes out. Once he is good to go, there is an LBW appeal next ball which England choose to not review.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well then how about that for a start! It was a length delivery, slightly wide outside off stump and Samson moves all the way across and pulls it emphatically over square leg for a first-ball six!

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: All right can Sanju Samson get a big one today. Or even a good one? So far in this series, they have been some pretty poor ones. Abhishek Sharma at the other end. Jofra Archer is bowling. Short leg and two slips in place, it has been the exact same field to him throughout this series.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: The last time Hardik Pandya was at the Wankhede, he was being cheered but the last time he was actually playing cricket here, he was being booed left right and centre. Today all he got were cheers as he did his lap around the ground and it seems safe to predict that the Mumbai Indians captain is going to get a rousing reception.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: This is the England XI for the day.

England XI: Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Shivam Dube is fit and fine, Arshdeep Singh has made way for Mohammed Shami again.

India XI: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Some cheek there from the England captain and it seems Ravi Shastri didn’t really pick that up. “We have got one change, Mark Wood comes in and our four impact subs are Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson.” Just before that Shastri had a jibe at Srinath having a lot to do nowadays as match referee. Battle of words and smiles out there.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Jos Buttler says that England have chosen to bowl first.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Suryakumar Yadav is ready for the toss and he can be seen having a longish chat with match referee Javagal Srinath. Obviously the names Harshit Rana and Shivam Dube have not been mentioned in that chat. Obviously.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Nick Knight and Murali Kartik say that there is a chance there will be very little effect of dew today. Very little grass which means there could be a lot of seam movement. Win the toss and bowl first, says Knight.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Jofra Archer was seen sending in some light spinners and Mark Wood hasn’t been warming up full tilt either. However, Gus Atkinson has been doing just that.

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.
