Jos Buttler is set to lead England as excepted as he makes way into the middle along with Indian skipper Virat Kohli for the toss.

Pitch Report: Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar feel that it looks like an even better pitch than the first game. They feel there's a little bit of grass covering and it's a bit firm and it will be of some help for the seamers. However, they concluded that this pitch looks flatter than the last one leading to more runs scored and more boundaries hit.

While India's stunning comeback handed England back-to-back losses, the visitors have not lost three in a row since February 2016. Can Kohli and co beat them and seal the series?

Both teams were hit by injury in the first ODI with England losing their skipper Eoin Morgan and batsman Sam Billings, while India lost Shreyas Iyer. So, how will the teams line up? Let's find out at the toss, which is just half an hour away.
