England captain Eoin Morgan speaks at toss

"We're going to bowl first. The wicket has a good covering of grass, shorter on one side and a bit humid today. Given the way, the series has panned out and it's about putting up a collective performance today and win the game. Glad to play my 100th game, a big day for me and my family. Mark Wood comes in for Tom Curran," said Morgan.

Mar 16, 2021, 18:42:01 IST

Indian captain Virat Kohli at toss

"I would have bowled first as well. We want to work on setting targets as well, in preparation for the future. England is going to come out hard, and we have to bring our A-game. Crowds are important, but we have to be professional and go out and give it our best in whatever conditions we have been given. Unfortunately, Suryakumar Yadav has to make way and Rohit is coming back in for us at the top of the order, so KL and Rohit will open for us today," said Kohli at toss.

Pitch Report

"The red soil pitch will be quicker, a good pitch, a bit more abrasive. You expect the team bowling first to be using the slower ball a lot and get more out of and it'll get better for batting in the second innings because it is likely to be very tacky in the first 10 overs. You expect the team winning the toss to bowl first again. 170-175 is the bare minimum that the team batting first will want to get." reckon Ajit Agarkar and Deep Dasgupta on Star Sports.

"Both the batsmen have always attempted to prove themselves as match-winners. Earlier Rishabh Pant proved that and now when Ishan Kishan has been given an opportunity, his mindset has also been similar. So I feel India is blessed to have match-winning ability players like Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant in the shorter format of the game. I have full confidence that in the future Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant will represent India in all three formats", said former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim
