India vs England, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Toss update and playing XI
India made one change in their playing XI - Rishabh Pant for Vijay Shankar
In a crucial World Cup 2019 game, England won the toss against India and opted to bat. Team India have made one change in the team - Rishabh Pant for Vijay Shankar, while England have made two changes - Liam Plunkett in for Moeen Ali and Jason Roy for James Vince.
Eoin Morgan: We are going to bat first. Two games to go, looking to win both and go through. Tactical move to bring in Plunkett in place of Moeen. There could be a bit more pace and bounce. Looks like the wicket will not offer much of turn, so we feel Liam will be more effective today. Jason Roy has trained well and fit to play. We are rejigged and reset as a team.
Virat Kohli: "Never a problem.. Love chasing. But honestly we would have batted first today. We haven't chased after the first game in the tournament, so it's a good challenge for us. We haven't really focused on the opposition in this tournament, that's why we have been consistent. We do have one change. Vijay Shankar has a toe niggle, Rishabh Pant is in. He brings in a lot of fearlessness. There is a small boundary for him to play for. Once he gets to 20, then it's a different ball game. To be honest I haven't seen what's been happening outside. But I do believe the Pakistani fans will be supporting us, which is a rare thing (smiles)."
