**England’s Openers Off to Solid Start, Capitalizing on India’s Fielding Errors, in Crucial T20I at the Oval**
**London, UK** – England are looking to keep the series alive against India at the Oval after a dominant start in the opening overs after winning the toss. After heavy defeats in the first two T20Is, England are 2-0 down, the pressure is on the home side in this must-win match. England are without their captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, who is sidelined with a groin strain. Veteran Tammy Beaumont is stepping in to lead the side for the first time. England made three changes to their lineup, bringing in Paige Schofield, Charlie Dean, and Issy Wong.
After electing to bat, England’s openers, Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, got off to a steady start, reaching 71-0 in the first 9 overs. Dunkley looked in fine form, striking the ball cleanly for boundaries, including an impressive six over midwicket. Wyatt-Hodge, however, had a less fluent start, but was given two lifelines by the Indian fielders. Jemimah Rodrigues dropped a relatively easy catch at cow corner, and Harmanpreet Kaur shelled a sharper chance in the covers. As shadows began to creep across the pitch, making visibility tricky, England looked to capitalize on their strong foundation.
