England have named an unchanged team for Tuesday’s Must-Win T20 International against India in Rajkot, where defeat would see the hosts wrap up the series.
Jos Buttler’s side are 2-0 down in the five-match series after being bowled out by seven wickets in Wednesday’s opener before a nail-biting two-match defeat in Chennai on Saturday.
England Line-up for Third Test vs India: 1. Ben Duckett, 2. Phil Salt (WK), 3. Jos Buttler (C), 4. Harry Brook, 5. Liam Livingstone, 6. Jamie Smith, 7. Jamie Overton, 8. Brydon Carse, 9. Jofra Archer , 10. Adil Rashid, 11. Mark Wood

Carse confident of returning series to England
England have no room for maneuver if they are to give Brendon McCullum a winning start to life as head coach of all formats, but Carse remains bullish and believes there is more to come from the tourists.
Asked if he still thinks England can win the remaining three games and the series, Carse said after Saturday’s defeat: “Yes, of course, 100 per cent.
“It’s pretty clear that the performance was a lot better than the other night, but we haven’t put in a full performance. It’s pretty exciting to see where we can go in these next few games.
“I felt like we got a good score on the board and kept taking wickets throughout the game. Credit goes to Tilak, he played very mature and smart for once and ultimately he was the difference in their side.”
