England captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss and chose to bat in their World Cup tie against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday.

England were 160 for 1 after 22.1 overs. Jason Roy departed off to a Kuldeep Yadav-delivery after a well-made 66.

For India, Rishabh Pant has been roped in as Vijay Shankar picked up a toe niggle. Whereas for England, Jason Roy came in place of James Vince and Liam Plunkett came in place of Moeen Ali.

“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,” said Morgan after winning the toss.

India skipper Virat Kohli said: “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).”

With 11 points from 6 games, India have almost booked a berth for the semi-finals. England, on the other hand, have 8 points from 7 matches and are struggling to find a place in the final 4. The Three Lions have to win all their remaining games to avoid any twist in the tale.
