CAPTAIN TALK
VIRAT KOHLI: We would've bowled first as well. We got a hang of what we needed to do well in the last game. We played a practice game after 2 days of arriving in England. We have played a lot of cricket compared to all other teams. Kedar still won't be able to compete. Vijay Shankar is fine. We are playing 14 today, instead of 13.
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: will bowl first. The wicket was under cover for the last few days, mostly everyone are playing today. Our last match was washed out. They (India) are one of the biggest sides in the tournament, it's going to be tough. But let's see.
TOSS NEWS: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza wins the toss and opts to bowl first.
2:05 pm: The toss is scheduled at 2:30 pm IST.
