Why It Matters
The match is taking place in Nottingham on a glorious evening with blue skies. England's captain Harry Brook and India's captain Shreyas Iyer have shared their thoughts before the game.
We are all set to get going. It is a glorious evening in Nottingham with blue skies overhead. Shreyas Iyer leads his men out onto the park. They are followed by the two English openers, Phil Salt and Jos Buttler. It will be Arshdeep Singh to start things off with the new ball. He dismissed both openers in the first over in Manchester. Arshdeep to Salt. There is a slip in place. Here we go...
Overs0.6 Score0 - 0 Arshdeep Singh to Phil Salt, Oh, that's nearly shaved the off stump. Singh lands it full and in the channel just outside off, shaping back in late. Phil Salt looks to swing across the line but is beaten past the inside edge. A maiden to start with from Singh.
Overs0.5 Score0 - 0 Arshdeep Singh to Phil Salt, It's like Deja Vu! A lovely curve on the delivery and India appeal for LBW, but again, it is turned down. Very full, starts on middle, angles down the leg. Salt misses the flick again and gets rapped on the pads. No review taken this time.
Overs0.4 Score0 - 0 Arshdeep Singh to Phil Salt, A big appeal for LBW, but the umpire says no. Very full and on the pads, swinging in. Phil Salt looks to flick but misses and wears it on the pads. Arshdeep Singh seems confident, and Shreyas Iyer takes the DRS just before the timer is about to reach zero. The third umpire has a look and finds no spike on UltraEdge, and Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside leg. India lose an early review.
Overs1.3 Score1 - 0 Harshit Rana to Jos Buttler, England are off the mark, and there's probably a sarcastic cheer from the crowd. Back of a length, around off, Jos Buttler dabs it in front of mid on for a quick single.
Overs1.4 Score5 - 0 Harshit Rana to Phil Salt, FOUR! Salt is up and running, and there's that cheer again from the crowd. Fullish length, angled into the pads, Phil Salt clears the front leg and drills it between mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary, the first of the game.
Overs2.2 Score11 - 0 Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Up and over! A bit too full, angled across off, Jos Buttler goes after it and launches it over wide mid off. Not excellently timed, but enough for the ball to dribble away into the fence.
Overs2.4 Score14 - 0 Arshdeep Singh to Phil Salt, Shorter in length and wide outside off, Salt throws his hands at it and slaps it down to wide mid off for a run. Shreyas Iyer over there charges at the ball but fails to gather it cleanly.
The captain of India - When asked about the couple of overs that decided the previous game, Shreyas Iyer calls it a hiccup and believes such phases are beyond anyone's control at times. He stresses the importance of backing his bowlers and reveals he had a chat with Ravi Bishnoi. Adds that every player goes through difficult phases. Iyer says the boys are in high spirits heading into this clash. Looking at the surface, he feels it is a beautiful batting wicket, although the short boundary on one side is something his side will have to factor into their plans. Informs that they have made one change, with Prince Yadav coming into the side in place of Ravi Bishnoi.
The skipper of England - Harry Brook says that they were a bit indecisive, but would have probably batted first. Adds that it was an excellent performance last time around, with the ball and in the field as well. Further mentions that they have a great balance in the side and ends by saying that every game is a big game and they are looking forward to the challenge.
