before, Rohit Sharma Winning the toss gave England a chance to bat first.

“We’re going to bowl first. Looks like a good wicket and won’t change much in 100 overs. This series is decisive, and we’ve played some good cricket. We’ve learned from the last game. We’ve limited ourselves to bowling well. In the overs and T20 series as well. Hopefully we can restrict them to a reasonable target today. Bumrah has a swallow, comes Siraj,” said Rohit Sharma.

Butler, on the other hand, said that he wanted to bat first anyway.

“We wanted to bat. It’s a bit messy, and there might be some swing in the beginning, but as the game progresses it’s going to be good to bat. It’s great for the series as it goes 1-1 in this game.” Coming. We’re going with the same team,” Butler said.
