India vs England, 2nd T20 live streaming: Check Old Trafford pitch report, predicted XIs, timings, and more

Team India and England will return to action for the second T20 fixture on Saturday at Old Trafford. Both sides would be yearning to gain a lead after the series-opening match was abandoned due to rain.

All eyes would be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old swashbuckling opener who is yet to make his India debut after missing out on the entire Ireland series and 1st England T20 match. With Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson putting up an underwhelming performance, he could be in line for a historic debut in the second T20 match.

In the 1st T20 match, Kishan and Samson failed to deliver, but Abhishek Sharma and Shreyas Iyer put up competitive knocks, scoring 59 and 68 runs, respectively.

In the middle order, Shivam Dube muscled a fiery 21-ball 42, helping the team put up a competitive 189/7 in 20 overs. England weren't able to bat after rainfall intensified before the second innings started, leading to the match having no result.
