According to the report of two poll observers submitted to the EC on Saturday, the alleged attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram which led to her being injured was in fact an accident and not a planned attack.

She will lead a huge roadshow in Kolkata in a wheelchair, her party has said. She will address the gathering at the end of the rally in Hazra.

India had decided to bowl first after winning the toss. After a humiliating defeat in the series-opener, skipper Kohli made some big changes in the playing XI.
