You wouldn't envy England's cricketers competing for the sporting spotlight with the Three Lions on Tuesday evening. But that's the task facing them as India come to Manchester for the first of a three-match T20 clash while the footballers do battle against Colombia at the World Cup, and we can tell you how to live stream the T20 match.
The football team isn't exactly famed for success on the big occasions, so the country may up relying on Eoin Morgan's cricket side to provide the sporting pride for England this week. It will be anything but easy though, as India enter the series on top form having impressively dispatched Ireland in Dublin last week.
India have arrived in the UK for what promises to be an intriguing summer of cricketing duels with England, kicking off with a three-match T20 series in Manchester, Cardiff and Bristol. Having warmed up by hammering Ireland in two T20 matches last week (the latter victory coming by 143 runs – the second biggest win in T20 history), Virat Kohli's side look in good shape with the white ball heading into the first tie at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.
But England have been tearing up the record books with their cricket, too. Last week Jos Buttler hit the fastest T20 international half-century by an England batsman, having being promoted to open in the one-off T20 match against Australia, which England won by 28 runs. Buttler went on to score a century and could be a thorn in India's side this week.
It's shaping up to be an exciting week of T20 cricket, and you can watch England vs India wherever you are in the world with a live stream. Below we'll talk you through how you can do that on your TV or via a stream to your favorite devices.
