A fitting end to India vs England three-match T20 International series is on cards. With the series currently levelled at one each, both thetas are in with a chance to make 2-1 in their favour. England bounced back to level the series and with momentum on their side, they are slight favourites to seal the series. However, the conditions at the County Ground in Bristol are likely to help spinners and that puts India back in the picture. Stay tuned for India vs England live score updates.

India is expected to go with the unchanged side. Kuldeep Yadav who bamboozled the hosts in the opening T20I went wicketless in the subsequent match. The spinner, however, will be looking to bounce back with conditions likely to favour spinners. Openers failed to take India off to sparkling start in the second T20I and the pressure will be on Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan to provide a solid platform.
England, on the other hand, are expected to bring in all-rounder Ben Stokes. With Stokes back in the playing XI, the England think tank might drop Joe Root who struggled to get going in the first two T20Is. Root was out for a duck at Manchester and scored only nine runs at Cardiff. IND vs ENG 3rd T20I 2018 Preview: Virat Kohli and Co Look to Clinch Series in Decisive Contest.
