England Unchanged for Third T20 Against India

England has named an unchanged side for the third T20 against India at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. England leads the five-match series 1-0 after the first T20 at Chester-le-Street was abandoned before they secured a thrilling four-wicket victory at Old Trafford. Jacob Bethell top-scored in that game with an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls as the hosts chased down a target of 191 to win with an over to spare.

Harry Brook is captaining England in the five T20 matches, despite not being selected to lead the Test side against New Zealand. Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi opened for India in Manchester, becoming the youngest man to play for his country, although he managed just 14 runs from 10 balls.

England's XI to face India in the third T20 includes: Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (captain), Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Josh Tongue.
