Indian have to chase down 111 in 50 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the match.
“We are going to bowl first. There is some grass cover and it’s overcast as well. I guess the sun will be out sometime. We want to have a score in front of us,” said the Indian skipper at the toss.
“Shami, Bumrah — those guys can swing the ball. It’s important to take wickets upfront and put brakes on the scoring. We understand the importance of playing overseas, we want to do well outside India. Today is no different. We have five batters, two all-rounders. Kohli is not playing this game, Shreyas will bat at 3,” he added.
On the other hand, England skipper Jos Buttler said that experienced Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes are back for the first ODI.
