England elect to bowl, Bhuvneshwar replaces Umesh

January 19, 2017 13:05

England captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the second ODI in Cuttack.

The visitors believe that dew could play a part in the second half of the match and that seems to have had a bearing on their decision to bowl first.

India have made one change to their line-up as Umesh Yadav gets a break, making way for fellow pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

England have also made one change with medium pace all-rounder Liam Plunkett taking the place of leg-spinner Adil Rashid.

India lead the series 1-0 following their three-wicket victory in Pune when they chased down a mammoth 351 for victory courtesy of magnificent centuries from Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav.
