Indian captain Virat Kohli at toss
"This pitch looks the best in terms of hardness and evenness. Take pride in getting the job done. It doesn't always have to be a do-or-die situation for you to bring out your best. You need to be in the best frame of mind, that's something we are looking to do tonight. One forced and one to give Rahul Chahar a chance. Chahal misses out. Ishan Kishan had a groin strain. Suryakumar will replace him," said Kohli at toss.
"We are gonna have a bowl again. The side that has chased has won. Looks a really good wicket, looks a lot harder. The challenge of setting a total depends on how you start. Earlier in the series, there was the dew factor. We never strive to become No. 1. We have a talented bunch outside the XI. No changes, same team," said England captain Eoin Morgan at the toss.

Pitch report
"The same pitch that was used for the first game. Very firm again, there's a lot less grass than there was in that first game. There will be that little bit of bounce because of the speed that the English bowlers have. It certainly looks a really good pitch for batting," reckon Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar on Star Sports network.
