    They're appealing in the covers but nothing from the bowler and nothing from the wicketkeeper. I don't think he's anything near that. Missed it by quite a way.

  2. Eng 10-1

    Harry Brook skips down the pitch and hacks one at from Prasidh Krishna.

    India ponder a review.

    Was there any bat on that? UltraEdge shows not.

    As a seasoned cruiser, most locals know that Saturday is the main arrival/departure day in Southampton and that (depending on how many ships are in port) all the roads get gridlocked between 10am and 3pm. Maybe someone just forgot to tell the Indian team.

    If England got there on time, why didn’t India? The travel to the ground would be similar for both teams, wouldn’t it?

    I thought he got hold of it initially. It's the ball we're so used to him putting it into the stands. It might have just got the toe-end of the bat.

    WICKET

    Salt c Suryansh Shedge b Prasidh Krishna 6 (Eng 8-1)

    Phil Salt keeps his head nice and still and thumps Prasidh Krishna down the ground for four.

    A couple of balls later though and Salt whips a flick down to deep backward square and cannot get the distance on it and is caught.

    Salt falls early after England lose toss

  6. Eng 4-0

    Arshdeep Singh hits Phil Salt on the pad but it was must hit a weak spot because the England opener ends up limping around in a little bit of pain.

    He gets back on his feet and works away a single.

  7. Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The difference between the two sides has been with the bat. With England, it's been smart aggression. There are periods when they know they don't go 100% and they have always have a settled batter in.

  8. Eng 3-0

    Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh with the first over for India and he finds a little bit of movement through the air as he finds some nice movement through the air.

    Phil Salt and Jos Buttler work away a couple of singles.

    Salt has a bit of waft at Arshdeep's fourth ball but does not make contact.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    I wonder if we will see the third successive maiden over batted out by Phil Salt.

    He didn't score a run in the first over of the previous two matches.

  10. The players are heading out to the middle.

    Phil Salt and Jos Buttler to open for England.

    Ten days ago, I don't think anyone really expected India to perform badly as they have. You have to give credit where it's due. England have pulled themselves up from the boot laces and played some good cricket.

  12. The Teams

    England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Harry Brook (captain), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Will Jacks, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue.

    India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (captain), Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, Suryansh Shedge, Axar Patel, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.

  13. Sooryavanshi dropped for Samson

    Two changes for India and the big news is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi misses out with Sanju Samson recalled to open.

    Suryansh Shedge replaces Washington Sundar.

    One change for England with Rehan Ahmed replaced by Liam Dawson.

  14. 'Aim for number one spot'

    England skipper Harry Brook: "We would have had a bat so I'm pretty happy. We have a little bit of aim - if we win today we go to world number one so that's at the back of our minds.

    "We have to do the same we have done all series which is adapt well to the surface and have good communication."

    On Adil Rashid making his 150th appearance: "He's been around for a long time for us and is a very valuable player for us. His ability to outfox opponents is incredible."

  15. 'Get the best...rather than sulking'

    India captain Shreyas Iyer: "The bowling we've done for the last couple of matches, we've experienced everything. We had a chat before and mentioned that the wicket won't change much."

    On the whether the traffic delay will impact the team: "Not really. I feel we have seen everything in the series and the one before. It's another day and another challenge."

    On the team's poor form: "I just want them to give 100% effort irrespective of the effort. I want them to have a solid mindset and try to go out and get the best out of themselves rather than sulking."

  16. India win toss and bowl

    England captain Harry Brook gives the coin a flick.

    India counterpart Shreyas Iyer calls heads.

    It comes down a head and Iyer decides to insert England and bowl first.

  17. Right the captains are strolling out to the middle for the toss.

  18. India fans filter into the Utilita bowlGetty Images

    Naturally the heavy traffic is also impacting how quickly the crowd can get into the Utilita Bowl.

    People are slowly filtering in but swathes of empty seats at the moment.

    India's team bus arrived at 14:02 so at least we have two sides in the building.

    We have an update. The toss is now 14:45 BST with play due to start at 15:00.

  20. Welcome...

    England have breezed past India this summer with an unassailable lead in this T20 series, but there is still plenty at stake in the final match.

    A win for Harry Brook's men will see England replace India as the number one ranked T20 side in the world.

    But we won't be starting at the scheduled 14:30 BST start time because of heavy traffic outside Southampton's Utilita Bowl.

    At 13:55, the India team were yet arrive to the ground, while England were already on-site and going through their warm-ups.
