Rohit Sharma at the toss: We wanted to bat first, we have had a good time batting second. Looks like a good pitch, it’s a new surface which has been relayed here. It has played well for the 100 overs. I mean it’s quite important to think like that but it’s important to get the two points. We have played some good cricket. It’s always good to have a break. It’s nice to come back here and get back into business. We are playing the same team we played in the last game.

England skipper Jos Buttler: We are going to bowl first today. Not anything in particular, it’s a gut decision. It’s a great occasion and hopefully, today we bring our best. Today, we want to put up a good show. We haven’t done ourselves justice, today we want to put up a show and play for pride. Playing in front of a full crowd and against India, it’s a great occasion. We are going with the same team.

We are 15 minutes away from the toss in Lucknow. Ravi Shastri is having a chat with Nasser Hussain about the pitch, which has some patches of grass on it. Due factor might also come into play later on in the evening. 

Looking back at previous results at this ground, we are unlikely to witness a high-scoring match. This pitch, however, is different from the ones used in the previous games. Boundaries arent short either.

Live Cricket Score: Here’s what Eoin Morgan had to say on England!

England’s World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgans has suggested that Jos Buttler’s team is “definitely unsettled” after heavy defeats in four out of their five group games.

“I’ve never come across a sports team that has underperformed like this England team, given the level of expectation that is on their shoulders. There’s something within the team that is definitely unsettled. The method which they’re trying to use and given the substantial nature in which they’ve lost the game[s], it is definitely called into question, the morale within the changing room and the confidence. It must be at its lowest that it’s been for a considerable period of time now,” Morgan told Sky Sports
