Toss time

BD have won toss have to bats first

Axar might back

We have to chase

11.32am The coin is flipped as... Bangladesh win the toss and bat first. Litton says Nasum Ahmed comes in for Hasan Mahmud. Rohit doesn't want to dwell on what he would have done had he won the toss. India play Axar for Shahbaz, and Malik for Sen, who, Rohit says, "is not available".

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das(c), Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman

Pitch report: "There was grip, turn and bounce for the spinners in the first game. Today we are playing on pitch number 8. It's a lot more brown. Could allow the batters a bit more time in playing their strokes. Still a good pitch to bat on, but you need to apply yourselves like KL and Litton did in the first game," reckons Anjum Chopra.

Rohit Sharma: We have to play good cricket and I hope bowling first now, we can restrict them to a decent score and bat well. We have two changes. Axar Patel is back and he replaces Shahbaz Ahmed. Kuldeep Sen is not available for selection, so we have got Umran Malik in place of him. Going back to the drawing board and understanding how we need to play on this conditions, just the basic talk about what we need to do with the bat and how to handle certain bowlers. Had good training session yesterday, and hopefully we can come out and replicate those learnings.

India have to Be careful of his spin

11.45am The last time Bangladesh batted first in an ODI against India, they had collapsed from 120 without loss to 222 all out, out of which Litton had hit 121. Mehidy had opened the batting in that match from 2018, with India winning off the final ball. Only two of India's XI from that match are part of this one.

Afeef: "Bangladesh beat South Africa in an ODI series in South Africa earlier this year, so India's defeat wasn't exactly a surprise. Bangladesh have been very strong in ODIs lately"

The action is set to begin for the second ODI in Mirpur, as Deiva gets ready to take the new ball. Out walk Litton and Anamul followed by the India unit, and here we go.
