Read our privacy policy England are resigned to drawing a line under Harshit Rana’s controversial appearance as a concussion substitute after he helped India take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the T20 series. Brendon McCullum, England’s head coach, is understood to have spoken with match referee Javagal Srinath after India’s 15-run win in Pune about Rana replacing Shivam Dube midway through the fourth T20. A distinctly unimpressed England captain Jos Buttler joked afterwards: “Maybe at the toss next game I will say we are going to play 12 ”, adding his side would seek more clarity from Srinath, arguing batting all-rounder Ramandeep Singh was more of an equal exchange. 1st T20, Kolkata, January 22 - India won by seven wickets 2nd T20, Chennai, January 25 - India won by two wickets 3rd T20, Rajkot, January 28 - England won by 26 runs 4th T20, Pune, January 31 - India won by 15 runs 5th T20, Mumbai, February 2 Saqib Mahmood will be bidding to make another splash in the dead rubber at Wankhede Stadium after an astonishing triple-wicket maiden on his first appearance of the series on Friday.
