IND vs ENG live score: England chase No. 1 ranking, India eye redemption
England have already wrapped up the series, but there is another significant incentive waiting for Harry Brook's side in Southampton. A win in the final T20I would see England replace India at the top of the ICC men's T20I rankings, reflecting the impressive consistency they have shown over the past year.
Since last summer, England have won 19 of their last 22 T20 internationals, playing an aggressive brand of cricket under Brook and coach Brendon McCullum. India, however, have a completely different objective.
After a difficult tour that has seen them repeatedly outplayed, the visitors are simply looking to end their losing streak.
Shreyas Iyer's side have struggled in every department, particularly with the bat, but one good performance tonight could provide some much-needed momentum and ensure they do not return home empty-handed from what has been a challenging tour of Ireland and England.

A victory tonight would not change the series result, but it would restore some confidence ahead of future assignments and prevent another unwanted milestone.

England have looked the stronger side in every department during the series. Under captain Harry Brook, the hosts have played fearless cricket, combining aggressive batting with disciplined bowling to keep India under pressure.
The highlight of the fourth T20I was the unbeaten 151-run partnership between Brook and Phil Salt, who chased down India's target with ease and sealed a nine-wicket victory. England's depth, confidence and ability to seize key moments have made them a formidable opponent.

IND vs ENG live score: India searching for batting answers
India's batting has been the biggest concern throughout the series. The top order has failed to provide solid starts, leaving the middle order with too much to do in almost every game. In Bristol, captain Shreyas Iyer produced a fighting unbeaten 80 to help India recover to 158/7, but the total proved well below par.
The visitors will need a much-improved effort from their batters if they are to challenge England in the final T20I.
A strong start from the opening pair and better partnerships through the innings could make all the difference as India chase their first win of the series.
