Patel hangs deep in the crease to a ball he was better off being on the front foot. He tries to flick it away but plays all around it, getting beaten on the inside edge. Sam Curran is down on the floor but the finger is up. Axar Patel takes the review. There is no bat involved, but the ball is just missing the leg pole on Ball Tracking.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Wicket number 3 for Sam Curran. Into the wicket, pace taken off, on off and middle. Shedge gets his hands high and swings across for the pull.

No Ball. The 150-run stand comes up between this pair. Shedge bowls the slower, short ball, on off and middle. Brook waits on it before swatting it to the right of deep mid-wicket for a brace. Given as a No Ball because it was the second bouncer of the over. Free Hit coming up.

FOUR! Brook flashes and flashes hard. On a hard length, on off. Harry stays leg side and throws his hands at the ball. It flies behind off a thickish outside edge, fine of the short third fielder.

Wide! Brook makes room and Shedge responds by pushing it wider. Ends up drifting beyond the tramline.

SIX! High and long enough. The 150 is up for England. Shedge errs in his length as he serves it right in the slot, off and middle. Brook takes a step back in the crease, puts his head down and thumps it back over the bowler's head for a six.

Pace off, short ball, over off. Brook arches back to play the upper cut but misses.

Starts with a full ball, outside off. Brook gets his hands through and slams it wide of deep point. Prince Yadav covers good ground to his right to mop it up. A couple for the English skipper.

Will Axar Patel bowl out? Not yet. Suryansh Shedge replaces him.

Very full, following the batter. Buttler squeezes it out to the left of long on for a brace.

Will the extra ball cost Prasidh Krishna?

Wide! Sprayed beyond the tramline on off. Jos can't lay a bat on the attempted reverse scoop.

SIX! Into the stands! Krishna follows Buttler with a back-of-a-length ball. Jos just swings away, making use of the angle. One hand comes off the bat handle, but it still sails over long leg.

Pace off and into the wicket, near the tramline on off. Buttler reaches out and slaps it to the left of deep cover for a couple of runs.

Drinks! Ominous signs for India, and they desperately needed this break in play to slow things down and regroup. England have given themselves an excellent platform. It has been that kind of surface where hitting the top of the stumps has been crucial, with anything too full or too short being punished by this pair. Harry Brook, after being handed a reprieve earlier, is making India pay, and that missed chance is looking increasingly costly. England look well on course for a total in excess of 200 and will be disappointed if they fail to get there from this position.

FIFTY FOR BROOK! Off just 19 balls! His fastest half-century in T20Is, and he has been at his absolute best. Flatter, full and on off, Harry Brook clips it through mid-wicket and comes back for the second run. Skipper is leading from the front here. 25 runs off the over.

FOUR! A boundary now! Axar Patel comes over the stumps, drags it short and outside off. Harry Brook stays back and slices it to the vacant deep point fence for four runs. 100 up for England in 9.3 overs.

SIX! Nice use of the feet now! Tossed up, full and on middle. Harry Brook dances down the track to get to the pitch of it and tonks it over the bowler's head for half a dozen more.

SIX! Up, up and away! Floated, full and around off. Harry Brook, with a beautiful extension of the arms, lofts it over the deep extra cover fence for a biggie.

Overthrows! Hard length and around leg, Harry Brook backs away and steers it towards short third. Jos Buttler wants the run, and seeing that Prasidh Krishna throws at the bowler's end, but misses. With no backup, the ball goes to the deep, allowing the batters to get one.

Low full toss, on off, Jos Buttler drills it through covers for one.

Prince Yadav is back with a change of ends.

Short of a length and outside off, Jos Buttler stays back and cuts it wide of point. Axar Patel dives to his right to get a hand on it, and Prince Yadav in the deep does the mop-up job. Two taken.

A slower one, full and on off, Jos Buttler mistimes his drive straight to short cover.

SIX! That is an incredible shot! Axar Patel tries to fire this one, serves this a bit fuller and outside off. Harry Brook gets the chance to free his arms and carves it flat and over the deep extra cover fence for half a dozen more.

Big chance missed by India! Shivam Dube is the culprit here. Prince Yadav hits the deck hard, on middle, and gets some extra bounce. Harry Brook stays back and has a hoick across the line. Gets a big top edge that flies miles in the air over short third. Shivam Dube tries to settle under the swirling ball but gets nowhere near it. He arches backwards in the end, but the ball drops out of his reach. Two taken.

Back of a length and angling into the body of the batter, Jos Buttler hooks it away to deep fine leg for a single.

Another yorker, this time at the base of the leg stump. Buttler walks inside the line and manages to put bat to ball as he helps it to deep fine leg for a single. 15 runs off the over, the most expensive of the innings so far.

Gets the yorker in, on the off stump. Jos digs it out to cover.

Not in control but safe. Another off-pace delivery, on a hard length, well wide on off. Buttler reaches out to force it away. Skews it off the toe end but clears extra cover and collects a couple of runs.

SIX! Jos Buttler looks in the mood today. On a back of a length, a bit of shape back in, on middle and leg. Buttler shimmies down the track and stands tall to club it over mid-wicket for half a dozen.

FOUR! Nicely done. Pace off and bowled into the wicket, on off. Buttler sets up early for the reverse scoop and waits for the ball to arrive. He hops before angling it over short third for a four.

Butler dances down the track early and Singh responds by attempting the yorker. It comes out as a low full toss on the pads. Jos clips it behind square leg, where Prasidh Krishna is late to pick it up but puts in the hard yards and slides to his left to prevent the boundary. Two runs taken.

Change? Nope, Arshdeep Singh gets a third over on the trot.

Buttler makes room, and Prasidh follows him with the short ball. Jos gets his hands high and pulls it flat, on the bounce to deep square leg. They cross.

Into the surface, on middle. Buttler swivels for the pull but is beaten for pace as the ball sneaks under the blade and hits him high on the back thigh.

Krishna spots Buttler giving himself room, and he spears in a full ball, wide on off. Jos can't reach it.

FOUR! Cheeky and effective! This is on a good length, just outside the off stump. Buttler shuffles across the stumps and watches the ball all the way onto the bat before scooping it fine of the man at deep fine leg.

On the fuller side now, on middle and leg. Jos advances down the track and swings through the line. Gets an inside edge down to deep fine leg for a run.

The replays show that there was daylight between the bat and the ball.

Early blow for England. Skipper Harry Brook walks out to bat at number 3.

OUT! CAUGHT! Phil Salt holes out. Prasidh Krishna strikes in his first over. Fuller in length, angled in at the sticks. Salt hangs deep in the crease and shuffles a bit. He takes the aerial route as he goes behind square on the leg side. It is hit towards the long boundary and into the breeze. As a result, Salt does not get the desired distance. Suryansh Shedge at deep backward square leg gets low and takes the catch above the ground. England are 8/1.

Goes past the bat! This is pushed across the right-hander at 134 kph, on a back of a length. Salt rises with the bounce to punch it away but the ball kicks up to beat the angled blade.

Stays on the shorter side, on middle. Buttler gets on his toes and turns it in front of square on the leg side for a single.

Wide! On a back of a length, swinging down leg with a bit of lift off the deck. Buttler misses out on the tickle.

A little too straight, on the pads. Salt tries to help it away. Gets a bit of bat on it before it goes off the pads towards square leg. Phil and England are underway with this single.

A bit of shape first up for Arshdeep. Bowled on a good length, shaping back in, on middle and leg. Salt stands tall to drop it down the deck.

All in readiness! A packed crowd here in Southampton, and they are making plenty of noise for the final game of the series. Shreyas Iyer leads the Indian players out to the middle, who spread out and take their respective field positions. Phil Salt and Jos Buttler are the two openers for England. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. A slip in place. Let's play...

India (Playing XI) - Sanju Samson (In for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shreyas Iyer (C), Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, Suryansh Shedge (In for Washington Sundar), Axar Patel, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna.

England (Playing XI) - Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (WK), Harry Brook (C), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson (In for Rehan Ahmed), Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Josh Tongue.

The skipper of England - Harry Brook says that they were looking to bat first, so they are pretty happy with the outcome of the toss. Mentions that going to No. 1 in the rankings is on the back of their minds, but the focus remains on adapting to the conditions and communicating well throughout the game. On Adil Rashid's milestone of playing his 150th T20I, Harry says the leg-spinner has been around for a long time and continues to be an invaluable member of the side. He praises Rashid's skill and guile, adding that he has a unique ability to outthink batters. Informs that they have made one change, with Liam Dawson coming back in for Rehan Ahmed.

The captain of India - Shreyas Iyer says that considering the weather and the fact that it is a bit windy, they will bowl first. Adds that they have pretty much tried everything in the last three games, and the way they have bowled, he has taken this decision. Mentions that the delay due to traffic has not affected the mood in the camp, it is another challenge, and reckons that they have seen everything in this series and the series before this one. Shares that he just wants everyone to give their best effort and not worry too much about the past. Informs that Sanju Samson and Suryansh Shedge come in for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Washington Sundar.

TOSS - Time for the coin to go up. 'Heads' is the call from Shreyas Iyer, and he gets it right. India opt to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Former Indian pacer Varun Aaron observes a tinge of live grass on the surface, unlike the previous couple of venues where the grass had dried out. Mentions that the blades of grass are thick and the pitch has been rolled well. Varun feels that it will be a very good batting track. Believes that the taller fast bowlers could extract some extra bounce, and there should also be a bit of lateral movement early on.

1.15 pm GMT (6.45 pm IST) - Right, we have the official word. The toss will take place at 1.45 pm GMT (7.15 pm IST), with the first ball scheduled to be bowled 15 minutes later at 2 pm GMT (7.30 pm IST). No overs have been lost. Sanju Samson has walked out for a hit, which suggests he could be in line for a return to the XI. If that is the case, the big question is who makes way?

1.13 pm GMT (6.43 pm IST) - As the Indian players head out for their warm-ups, you can catch up on the action elsewhere. Down the road in London, England Women and India Women are battling it out in the one-off Test at Lord's. Nat Sciver-Brunt has become the sixth wicket to fall, with the hosts still trailing by 143 runs. Over in Harare, Bangladesh are cruising towards a target of 200 against Zimbabwe and are on course to avoid a whitewash in the ODI series.

1.05 pm GMT (6.35 pm IST) - We have visuals from the ground, and the Indian team has finally arrived. One would imagine they will now be given some time to go through their warm-up drills and settle in before the toss takes place. Stick around for further updates.

1 pm GMT (6.30 pm IST) - We should have had the toss just about now, but we are hearing that the Indian team has been caught in traffic. As a result, the toss has been delayed. This series keeps finding new ways to surprise us, and today has started before a ball has even been bowled.

Looking for a lift - India have been unable to find the answers needed to challenge England throughout the series. Shreyas Iyer has been the standout performer with the bat, but he has lacked sustained support from the rest of the lineup. The bigger concern has been with the ball, with the attack averaging 45 runs per wicket across the series. A win today will not change the outcome of the series, but it will provide a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the ODI leg. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.

Chasing the top spot - England have been the superior side in every department. Harry Brook has led from the front, Phil Salt has rediscovered his touch, and the bowling attack has backed it all up by consistently putting India under pressure. Having dominated the series, the hosts will now be eyeing a 4-0 scoreline to cap off a near-flawless campaign. A win here would also see England leapfrog India to the top of the ICC Men's T20I rankings.

Greetings, all - Southampton plays host to the fifth and final T20I of the series, but with the fate already decided, the focus now shifts to how both sides finish. England have wrapped up the series with three wins from the four completed games, while India are searching for a performance that can salvage some pride. One final opportunity awaits before both teams move to the ODI series. 

... MATCH DAY ...

The final act - We have arrived at the final stop of India's T20I leg of the white-ball tour of England. The Hampshire Bowl in Southampton plays host to the fifth and final match of the series. England have deservedly put the series to bed with a game to spare. The brand of cricket they have played has been far superior, and they have been thoroughly dominant over the last two matches to secure their first-ever multi-match bilateral T20I series win over India. If England needed any extra motivation, a win in Southampton would see them dethrone India and climb to the number 1 spot in the ICC T20I rankings. As a result, India have little more than pride to play for. They will also be keen to end the series on a positive note and carry some momentum into the ODI leg of the tour. England crack the code - Perhaps it all started in Ireland, where the Irish quicks repeatedly hammered the hard lengths and exposed India's discomfort. England have taken a leaf out of that playbook and executed it to perfection, making run-scoring difficult throughout the series. Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue have tested India's batters with their pace and extra bounce, while Sam Curran's variations and Will Jacks' control have ensured there has been no respite through the middle overs. Adil Rashid had an off day in Bristol, but the other four bowlers more than made up for it to restrict India to a below-par total. With the series already in the bag and both Archer and Tongue part of England's ODI squad, the management could choose to rest the pair, potentially opening the door for Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood. Batting firing despite Buttler's lean patch - There continues to be some concern around Jos Buttler. Since his 83 against South Africa last September, he is yet to score more than 40 in a T20I. Even so, England's batting has hardly missed a beat. Phil Salt, short of game time after the hand injury he suffered during the IPL, appears to be finding his rhythm with back-to-back half-centuries. Harry Brook, meanwhile, has been ruthless in taking the attack to India in the series and leaving the visitors searching for answers. From bad to worse - India's slide has been stark. Having gone unbeaten in bilateral T20I series between their 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cup triumphs, they have now suffered successive series defeats, first to Ireland and now to England. More worrying than the defeats themselves has been the manner of them. India were blown away for 76 in Nottingham without putting up a fight, before England made light work of a 159-run chase in Bristol, getting there inside 14 overs. Powerplay pain - Across the six matches on this UK tour, India have lost at least two wickets in the Powerplay every time. In three of those games, they lost three or more wickets inside the first six overs, leaving the middle order with far too much to do. Constantly shuffling the batting order has done little to help, while Shreyas Iyer has often been left fighting a lone battle. With the top order continuing to misfire, it will be interesting to see whether Sanju Samson returns to the XI in Southampton. Bowling resources stretched - India's bowling attack was already under pressure before injuries to Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy ruled them out of the remainder of the series. Their absence has further weakened an attack that has struggled for consistency. Prasidh Krishna is yet to translate his impressive IPL performances over the past couple of years into T20I cricket. Washington Sundar has increasingly been used more as a batting all-rounder and hasn't bowled much in this format of late, while Ravi Bishnoi had a game to forget in Manchester. Team form (Last 5 completed T20Is, recent first) - ENG - WWWLW | IND - LLLLL. Run fest on the cards? If recent history at Southampton is anything to go by, the batters should enjoy their time in the middle. England smashed 248 against West Indies in the last T20I played here, with the match producing 459 runs. A few months later, they posted 414 against South Africa in an ODI before bowling the visitors out for just 72. That 342-run victory remains England's biggest winning margin by runs in ODIs. The hosts return to a venue where they have enjoyed plenty of success and will be hoping those happy memories continue with a victory that would take them to the top of the ICC T20I rankings. On the other hand, India will be eager to sign off on a positive note before attention shifts to the ODI series. One final chapter awaits in Southampton.
