England are pretty confident that they would make a comeback in the third T20I against India on Tuesday.

“I am very confident that we can bounce back. India are a class team, but the way we started the series in the first game, was a bit more comprehensive than what they gave us last night.

“I think going into the third game, we are full of confidence, in the last eight overs of our batting on Sunday, we found it a bit difficult… we are a fast learning side so I am confident that we will bounce back,” opener Jason Roy said during a virtual press conference on Monday.

Roy has been in good form in the ongoing T20I series making 49 and 46 in the first two matches. The series is level at 1-1.

“I learnt that I am staying on my shots a little bit more. You saw a couple of my reverse sweeps, I missed some of the balls but I rectified it during the course of my innings and it is just a pitch where you have to pick your bowler. Unfortunately, the bowler I picked got me out, Washington (Sundar) was the guy I was looking to target… unfortunately, it did not go my way,” he remarked.

“I think the whole squad has played a huge amount of cricket in the subcontinent, playing in this five-match series and then the ODIs, it will hold us in good stead,” said Roy.

Virat & Co fined

Team India players have been fined 20 per cent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate against England in the second T20I in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Match referee Javagal Srinath imposed the sanction after Virat Kohli’s side was ruled to be one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
