India will be aiming to bounce back after going down 1-0 in the series in the second match last week. Shreyas Iyer's journey as Indian captain has gone off to a nightmare start as he became the rare Indian skipper to go winless in his first four international T20I matches as the leader.

The chances of rain in Nottingham on Tuesday are less than 4%. The game is expected to take place without major interruptions.

With Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's long-awaited debut finally behind them, the spotlight has shifted firmly back to India's cricket. The defending world champions have endured a turbulent start to life after their triumph. Their World Cup-winning captain has been replaced, the Player of the Tournament finds himself on the bench, and the victories have dried up.

Fresh into the job, Shreyas Iyer finds himself in a quagmire and remains winless after four games at the helm. He has also lost nine of his last ten completed T20s as captain, a run that stretches back into the IPL. India's repeated struggles away from home have also renewed concerns over the batting group's ability to adapt to conditions less conducive to stroke-making.

India's tactical decisions backfired too. Firstly, they opted to bat, a decision that batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said was based on the assumption that the surface would remain consistent throughout an afternoon fixture. Secondly, the decision to play three spinners forced Iyer's hand in bowling Ravi Bishnoi at the death, an over that cost India 29 and swung the contest in England's favour.

Reeling from a historic series loss to Ireland and already 1-0 down in this series, India undoubtedly have their backs against the wall. Whether they can bring out their best under pressure and come out swinging to land a counter-punch remains to be seen.

England too head into the series with questions to answer. Ben Stokes' retirement has left Harry Brook as the leading candidate to take over the Test captaincy, while prompting suggestions that he relinquish his limited-overs duties to manage the workload. A series victory over India would validate not only Brook's appointment but also the ECB's belief that he and Brendon McCullum are the right pair to lead England across formats. A victory at Trent Bridge would only add momentum to that narrative.
