India WLLTW (Last five full ODI region, most recently)
England Llwl
In Spotlight: Harry Brook and Virat Kohli
Team News: Opportunity to use
This trophy does not matter as much as playing for the next two teams, so there is an opportunity to see this series as a kind of laboratory, to know what works and what does not. India chose Arshdeep Singh on Mohammad Sirj in its Champions Trophy squad and maybe they are thinking of bringing it in Shee. Rishabh Pant will not be the worst in the world to give some match practice.
India Harshit Rana/Arshdeep Singh, 11 Mohammed Shami.
England rested Mark Wood from the first ODI. Their speed has always been a matter of difference and hence always has the temptation to stick them into an early XI.
England: 1 Ben Docket, 2 Phil Salat (WK), 3 Jo Root, 4 Harry Brook, 5 Jose Butler (Captain), 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Jacob Bethle, 8 Bridan Cars, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark Wood /Saqib Mahmud.
