England faces India in a T20 match, with Jamie Smith making his debut. England's batting order is struggling against India's spinners, particularly Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy. Highlights include Smith's impressive six, Buttler's dismissal, and Livingstone's difficulties against spin.
Carse & Smith in for Atkinson & Bethell; Smith making T20 I debutSince the start of 2023, Liam Livingstone has been dismissed nine times by left-arm spin, averaging 19 while striking at 88. Axar Patel will be licking his lips at this match-up.Jamie Smith took to Test cricket like a duck to water and it looks like it might be the same with the shortest format. As casual as you like he uses his feet to Varun Chakravarthy and deposits him into the stands with a towering six.
Liam Livingstone is still swinging from the hip and eventually connects, albeit off the toe his bat, and picks up four with a slog sweep.I'm really confused why England can't pick Varun Chakravarthy. He bowls majority of googlies out of the side of the hand and his variation is a non-spinning leggie.Liam Livingstone is the new batter, he twice attempts to slog Ravi Bishnoi into next week but manages just a single down to deep square for his efforts.
