England vs India 2nd ODI: Check out the probable playing XI, injury news and pitch report

After completely hammering the England team in the first ODI, team India will take on England in the second match of the series to be played at the Lords Cricket Ground, London on July 14 (Thursday). The Men in Blue were very clinical during the first encounter as they completely bamboozled England’s batting order and completed the chase without losing a single wicket.

Talking about the second match, team India might yet be again without the services of senior batter Virat Kohli as there have been reports that the batter still not has recovered from a niggle. As a result, team India might be tempted to play with the same XI that was used in the first match.

The Three Lions will also want to field the same playing XI that was used during the first encounter and play like the World Champions. Opening batter Jason Roy has been struggling for runs and he will want to have a good outing against team India in the next match.

Talking about the Lord’s pitch, the wicket is expected to provide some assistance to the new ball bowlers and batting will not be easy during the starting phase of a match. Skipper winning the toss might want to bat second and try to chase the total kept in front of them.

Here’s the probable playing XI for the match:

England:

Players including Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes who were in good touch during the rescheduled Test match, failed to score runs for their team in the first match and they will look to rectify their mistakes in the next encounter.

Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Craig Overton, David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley

India:

The Men in Blue will not want to make any changes as they won the first match by a comfortable margin of ten wickets.


Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer/Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna
