After yet another exciting contest at the Lord’s Stadium, the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy moves to the iconic Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester as India look to level the series.
India’s batting prowess has been on full display during this tour, especially from its captain and his deputy. However, there are a few chinks in the armour as the middle order has failed to capitalize on the foundations given to them. England, on the other hand, has grabbed key moments during the game and is entering this contest with a lead, both in terms of points and in confidence.

Shoaib Bashir has been ruled out of this match due to an injury and is replaced by Liam Dawson. Rishabh Pant suffered a niggle, and details regarding his availability are awaited. Akash Deep has also been ruled out of the match.
It has been raining here in Manchester, and we are expecting a surface with green grass and moisture underneath. The new ball will move around early in the day, especially with the overcast conditions that are forecast throughout the week. The pitch should get better to bat on during the second and third day, with the spinners coming into the picture during the final leg.
There is a forecast for rain throughout the week, and we can expect rain to interrupt the game.
Rishabh Pant and Jamie Smith have both played well throughout the tournament and have made it to our team.
Shubman Gill is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and is the obvious choice. We are also bringing in KL Rahul, Joe Root, and Harry Brook.
Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja have been the best all-rounders in this tournament and are the obvious choices.
We are going with three seamers here in the form of Jasprit Bumrah, Jofra Archer, and Mohammed Siraj.
We are nominating Shubman Gill as the captain of our team. He has been in excellent form throughout the tournament and could play another big knock here.
Ben Stokes is the vice-captain of our team. He has been excellent with the ball and has been an electric fielder as well. While he hasn’t done much with the bat, he is a dependable batsman lower down the order.
We have tried to select a balanced team for this match. Since the pitch is likely to be a green top and with the overcast conditions predicted, we have a bowling unit that leans heavily on seam, with only one spinner. We have also tried to select the best performers with the bat from both sides.
Shubman Gill has 1227 points from the last 5 matches at an average of 245 points per game.
Shubman Gill (607), Rishabh Pant (425), Jamie Smith (415)
Mohammed Siraj (13), Jasprit Bumrah (12), Akash Deep (11)
Rishabh Pant (15), Shubman Gill (12), Jamie Smith (11)
Jamie Smith (85.12), Ben Duckett (80.65), Rishabh Pant (78.41)
Jofra Archer (2.72), Jasprit Bumrah (2.90), Ben Stokes (3.08)
