India v England: second men’s T20 international – live Afternoon everyone and welcome to the second match in this T20 series.
On Wednesday, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Brendon McCullum’s new England capitulated to SKY’s new India, losing with seven overs to spare.
McCullum’s big idea – picking a battery of pacemen – backfired as Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood and Jamie Overton bowled 35 balls and took none for 73.
England have said that Brydon Carse will come in for the red-faced Atkinson but there’s a doubt about Jacob Bethell, who may give way to Jamie Smith.
A complete unknown outside India, Varun Chakravarthy, ripped through England’s middle order with his googlies.
