India opt to bowl against England

India opt to bowl against England

London, July 14 (UNI) India have won the toss and elected to field against England in the second ODI here at Lord's on Thursday.
India captain Rohit Sharma said that Virat Kohli comes back in for Shreyas Iyer while England will take the field with same playing XI.
After winning the toss, India skipper said: "Less grass for sure but looks like there is some moisture in the pitch. Looking at the size of the ground, we thought it's better to have a score on the board. He (BUmrah) is a proper bowler, no matter which the format is. Gives us a different dimension and can bowl in any phases of the game. Always nice to have a bowler like him in the squad.
"I thought it was quite challenging (to keep wickets), as in England, ball tends to move even after passing the stumps. He (Pant) did take some really good catches. They were very important for us. It (Lord's) is one of the best stadiums in the world, so the guys are keen to play well here. Sun is out, so perfect conditions."

"We would have bowled first as well. A 50-50 decision to be honest. Seems like a bit of moisture and might be tricky early on, if we can survive that, we should be fine. We're going with the same team. I think we've got to move on and just think it (the loss) as one of those off-days. We always think that batting is our main strength and one game isn't going to change it. Special time it was (World Cup win), anytime you're playing at Lord's, it's a great feeling," said England captain Jos Buttler.
