Here's What The Two Captains Said During Toss
Jos Buttler (England Captain):
"Yeah we are going to bowl first this evening. Yeah absolutely, it feels like a great atmosphere already. The series is nicely setup and it's a must win game for us so really looking forward to it. Yeah absolutely, really pleased with the performance the other night. There is always room for improvement. We are constantly trying to do but very happy with the way we are moving."
"Yeah absolutely, if you look at the positive side of that, we still managed to post 170 and then bowled really well to defend it. Little bit unsure on the pitch to be honest, whether the dew comes in or not we have to see. A bit of 50:50 call on the toss but we know we are up against a top quality side so we have to be at our best."
"We have 2 changes. Saqib Mahmood comes in for Mark Wood and Jacob Bethell comes in for Jamie Smith."
Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain):
"Absolutely, it is about coming here and play good cricket. Sticking to the basics and trust the process. We have left that game in Rajkot and come here fresh. Want to do well for this wonderful crowd and do well here. It looks good, a bit on the dry side. Hopefully, there is no dew and we can put some runs on the board and hopefully defend."
"We have made three changes. Arshdeep Singh comes in for Mohammed Shami. Rinku Singh is ready and he's come in for Dhruv Jurel and we had added some firepower to our side and Shivam Dube is coming in place of Washington Sundar."
