Captain words
”We are gonna have a bowl, it is a good surface and it will get better under lights. We have put good performances in the past and will look to put another good performance here. It will be high-scoring and the nature of the boundaries are short. We have got one change, Doug Bracewell comes in for Henry Shipley,” Tom Latham, Captain, New Zealand.
”We would have batted first, as a team we want to get out and play well. It is a great ground to play in, everytime we come here it has been a good score. What is important to give chance to some of the new guys who haven’t had a game and see how they go. We have got two changes – Shami and Siraj are out, Umran and Chahal are in,” Rohit Sharma, Captain, India.
