England and India are in a fantastic situation as they walk onto the pitch for the fourth and final T20I T Series game in Bristol tonight, it has a wonderful way with making a "dead rubber" a box-office attraction. England sit 3-0 up and a victory here means that they can assume control of the series with a match to spare. In the Indian case it isn't just a matter of pride, it's a question of survival here, from a sport and in the series and in the future, of where this T20 side is going.

DiamondExch ID offers a premium way to follow the action as every over shapes the outcome. 

How We Got Here

The series began in the UK with a bring-the-two-parties-together-than-ever-after-no-result in Chester-le-Street, allowing neither side to get any early lead. But it was in the second T20I played in Manchester that the battle began to really get fierce. India made a competitive score but a young England line-up driven by Jacob Bethell's blistering career-best effort went on the hunt and when it came down to it, scored six runs clear of it. Bethell's innings highlighted his determined aggression and purpose in his intent to attack both wide gaps and to nearside the short boundary based on the situation, allowing what was seen as a tight finish to come off the rails for the hosts.

The Welcher was grievous to Manchester, but the Tees was a gut punch. England kicked it off with another big score and then India's innings just couldn't get going. They chipped in just under twelve overs, which was one of the quickest innings of all time for this side. By all accounts it was one of the more embarrassing batting failures that the Indian white-ball team had endured in the recent past, and for now they have to live with the fact that they will not be able to secure a clean sweep in the series.

What This Match Means

It's easy in England, where captain Harry Brook's men will own the game if they win in Bristol, whatever the outcome in the final match at Southampton. This England side certainly exudes confidence in a measured way. They have all three elements: bowling at the right time and right rate; top order and depth behind to finish; and the fielding display is sharp, which Brook highlighted so well as they have been finding plenty of value in cutting out the risky twos on defense.

The bowling attack of England has also been the sinewy one of the series. They have always been able to secure early partnerships with their new balls and both the spin and pace bowlers have got a taste for India's abilities in the partnership game too early. For such an attack to be churned out with the T20 World Cup in their collective memory, it is rare that it does. But the Englandmen have found a formula working for both bat and ball.

The situation is much more complicated for India, led by Shreyas Iyer. Iyer is looking to clinch his maiden victory as a full-time T20I skipper and a dream come true like Nottingham is only adding to the noise from his side. Inside the camp, there have been indications of disappointment with the way the batting have capitulated, and the head coach has lamented the need for the side to "hit reset" after the outcomes of their white-ball triumphs didn't always translate into international performances. The snag is that cricketers are comfortable in T20 cricket leagues but aren't hitting the stride in international cricket and that's one of the more interesting narrative threads of this tour.

Team Watch: Who Needs to Fire

The upper order will be the focal point of all the eyes in the India camp. India's most consistent player of this series is perfectly Arbiter at least in this format Abhishek Sharma who looks to have all the ingredients in place to be very dangerous on the outside. Iyer himself has helped provide those useful runs, but it is "useful" now that they need; they need a batsman to bat deep in the order, and give them the opportunity to hit with the middle order, which they had no chance of doing in Nottingham.

It is the bowling that has India's worry bells going off. The rarest of successes has eluded their spinners in the middle overs, while they have failed to deliver the se and swing that saw England's men of moment fall prey in the World Cup in patches earlier in the year to their new-ball bowlers.

England, however, are still represented by Bethell who is making other contributions on the field since their top-scoring partnership set out earlier in the season with strong form from both sides.But in addition to the leading wicketing stability offered by the openers, Bethell is aided by a number of possibilities in England, from Jofra Archer being able to pick up important wickets with the new ball whenever the situation calls for it to Sam Curran's increase in all-round pressure from the bowler. The risk involved is overconfidence – whenever a team earns a series, it is likely to slow down and you can bet that India will be in no mood for it following a defense massive wounding.

Conclusion

Outside the scoreboard, the series is being closely followed as a pulse check to check India's health as a T20 side in the Post World Cup era. This will be the first time India have lost both the previous and current bowlers in T20Is in a row since they beat them in both in this format only in a few years ago. By contrast, the England squad appear to be developing strength and confidence to look forward to a full white-ball schedule.

The toss is likely to have its own say under the cover of the nighttime sky and both sides have declared settled XIs, so, for now at least, the England side is likely to be narrow 55-45 favourites, but T20 cricket is not a favourites' format.
