2 Captains' Comments

Rohit Sharma, India Captain: "We would have batted first. Looks like a good pitch, it has been used before for the Blast game. We just need to adjust quickly and adapt our game. We have four changes.

"Kohli, Jadeja, Bumrah are back, and we have one more change. These guys are one of the best teams in the world, so we want to challenge ourselves. We want to back our game in Southampton. We want to be fearless, but we need to play according to the situation. We know there will be some failures along the way."

Jos Buttler, England captain: "We are going to bowl first. Willey and Gleeson come in for Topley and Mills. Excited for him (Gleeson) to make his debut today. It's a great chance to bounce back, expect us to come back harder today. It's a fantastic ground, India get a great support here as well."
