India captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh in the second semi-final.

India retain the same playing eleven which beat South Africa in their previous match to enter the last four stage.

It has gone overcast at Edgbaston and we could have some showers through the day as the match progresses.

Interestingly, Bangladesh are also unchanged.

Welcome to the coverage of the second ICC Champions Trophy semi-final between India and Bangladesh in Birmingham, on Thursday.

Having won two of their three group games, defending champions India are overwhelming favourites against the next door neighbours but in a game of glorious uncertainties, it will be foolhardy to take Bangladesh lightly, especially after their superb come from behind victory against New Zealand.

The winners of the match will take on Pakistan in the final, after they had thrashed England in the first semi-final on Wednesday.

India, after a clinical performance against South Africa, would like to maintain the same intensity against a team that could prove to be a proverbial banana peel for them.

Batsmen in form, bowlers on target and fielding top notch-- Virat Kohli's men have covered all bases so far and Mashrafe Mortaza's men -- after their lucky entry into semi- finals -- will have to pull off something really special at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

India captain Kohli also warned his team not to underestimate Bangladesh, a team who have improved dramatically over the past few years to the point where they are now one game away from reaching a first final at an ICC event.

"It's no surprise anymore to anyone that they are doing really well," Kohli added. "They are a very dangerous side on their day and everyone realises that ... Bangladesh have taken huge strides."

It will be a special day for senior pro Yuvraj Singh, who will become the fifth Indian cricketer to complete the landmark of 300 One-Day Internationals.

"His contribution to Indian cricket has been outstanding. He has been a total match-winner for India, won us so many big tournaments and big series, and this is just a testimony to the kind of talent he possesses," Kohli said on Wednesday.
