Ellis talked about the upcoming match and said, "I'm very excited to be in Lucknow. It's the most beautiful city. I am a little anxious about the game because India are playing very well and England are not playing so well. But I hope that we're going to see a really tight game. There are some great players on both sides and it's just a pleasure to be here in Lucknow. I think India looks the best at the moment. Australia are coming through nicely. I think they look strong as well. South Africa's batting is superb, probably India would be the favourite, I would think... I'm very excited for today's match. I've seen England and India play many times before. It's usually a good game, so I hope we'll have the same today."
