England won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in the second ODI at Cardiff, Wales. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ind-vs-eng-1st-odi-axar-patel-washington-sundar-fifties-help-team-india-secure-six-wicket-win-over-england-23639786" rel="nofollow">India won the first match</a> and leads the series 1-0.
After winning the toss, England captain Harry Brook was happy to bowl first on a green Cardiff pitch. He further confirmed two changes for the hosts with Saqib Mahmood and Gus Atkinson replacing Josh Tongue and Liam Dawson.
"We&rsquo;re gonna have a bowl today. (Talks about the pitch) Yeah, nice even spread of grass. So hopefully we can get a little bit of seam movement and swing up front. (Anything you want to do differently here?) Just execute slightly better, I think. I&rsquo;ve always said we&rsquo;re never out of games and I thought we put up a really good fight last game. To take it that deep was an awesome effort from the guys, and yeah, some more of that really. Josh Tongue and Liam Dawson come out for Saqib (Mahmood) and Gus Atkinson." Harry Brook said.
<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/india-odi-captain-shubman-gill-styles-it-up-23636747" rel="nofollow">Indian captain Shubman Gill</a> said he would have bowled first as well. The Indian star confirmed one change from the first ODI with Ishan Kishan replacing KL Rahul.
"We would have bowled first as well. (How are you keeping?) Doing well, and yes, very happy and very pleased we had a near-perfect game last game. So hopefully we&rsquo;re gonna have another good game. (Very clinical last game and a good bowling performance) Yeah, definitely. I think we had good 6-7 overs in the powerplay, and then we were put under pressure in the end of the powerplay. But I think how we came back in the middle overs, fast bowlers taking wickets, it was just tremendous to see. I played a season here with Glamorgan, very good memories there. So hopefully I will have another one to add on to those memories. (Any changes?) Yeah, we&rsquo;ve got one change: KL is sick, so he misses out, and Ishan Kishan comes back in." Gill said.
<h2>Confirmed Playing 11 for both teams:</h2>
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan(w), Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna
