England Playing XI vs IND – IND ENG 2ND T20 LIVE: Jos Buttler and co were outplayed by India in the first T20I. But the management would be willing to stick to the same England Playing XI for the India vs England second T20I at Edgbaston on Sunday. Playing the same XI would lend confidence among England players to excel and prove their worth as well. Follow IND vs ENG 2nd T20I live updates with InsideSports.IN
It would give the English players, who failed in the first game another chance to shine. All-rounder Sam Curran will be one of those, looking to come up with a solid show. He just bowled two overs and was out for just four runs as well.
With Ben Stokes not featuring in the T20 series at all, England will be looking at Curran to deliver with both the bat and ball. He has the goods to deliver against India, and the management will hope that the all-rounder justifies his selection for the second T20.

Though the opening pair did not make any difference at the top, England are set to go with the dangerous proven pair of Jason Roy and Jos Buttler. They will be plotting revenge after scoring just 4 and 0 respectively.
However, the batting order could undergo a change, depending on how the openers fare at the middle. Liam Livingstone can be used as a floater with the right-hander known to change the game in a matter of overs. He alongside Moeen Ali will play a central role in the middle order for England.

More importantly, with Ali having been amongst the wickets in the first game, England would be eager to use him as a wicket-taker, but be a bit economical as well. He was one of the best England batters on the opening game of the series, scoring 36.
In the bowling department, despite no changes, England will be trying to rotate the bowlers and ensure Tymal Mills has a great day on the field. He went for 11 plus runs per over. However, Mills will be England’s x-factor with the ball. His varieties in the bowling armoury can trouble India batters. However, leg-spinner Matt Parkinson need to up his game in the second T20I. Chris Jordan and new ball bowler Reece Topley will hold the key in containing the Indian batters throughout the innings.
Probable England Playing XI: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (c and wk), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Reece Topley, Matthew Parkinson
