Toss time now---

Buttler won the toss and chose to bowl first. England have won the toss and have opted to field

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood

Suryakumar Yadav: It is all about coming here and playing good brand of cricket. Stick to the basics. We have left that game in Rajkot. Hopefully we put up an entertaining show for this crowd. Little bit on the drier, put runs on the board and defend. Arshdeep comes in place of Shami, Rinku comes in for Jurel and we have had some firepower - Shivam Dube comes in for Washington Sundar.

Jos Buttler: We are gonna bowl first this evening. It feels like a great atmosphere already, the series is nicely set-up. Very happy with that performance, we have areas to improve but happy to get the win. Little bit unsure (about what total to chase) to be the honest with the dew, if it will come in or not. We have two changes - Mahmood for Wood, Bethell for Smith.

Thanks for the tag

.....

India plz win this one

Buttler has won his first toss of the series and India will be batting first for the first time. The batting has been bolstered by the home side as Dube and Rinku come in, the former specifically brought in to tackle Rashind in the middle overs. Shami's return too last one game as he is back on the bench for this one. England have made a couple of changes as well - Mahmood gives them bit more control than Wood while Smith was injured in the previous game, so Bethell has another crack.

Tiago : "Much stronger Indian batting lineup and I think their spinners will play a very important role today if they are to win. "

Rob: "Reasonable enough to rest Wood. Problem with this team is if one of the main bowlers goes the distance, Livingstone and Bethall are hardly frontline options who could go for a fair few on these wickets. "

Sowmya : "The most striking aspect of the game is it is an amazing leveller. Ask the likes of Virat Kohli who are finding it very tough to score. So to come back into form , SKY has to cut out certain shots from his game. Be less flashy and play the situation better. "

Ashish A: "Another failure from SKY will have everyone doubting his form. He needs to lead by example as captain."

Azfer: "I'm calling a Sanju hundred today" 🧿🧿🧿🧿
