England need to Win this game to prove a point with 1 of the best bating line ups in the world and they all bat :), India are very strong on home soil and will want to win all games, the last game was real close and Morgan escaped again with a beauty, guys the odds are a bit high and would wait for the toss etc, your thoughts lads :)

Opposing India has worked for me in 1st 2 games and I see no reason why it won't again. Kolkata thats not a batters paradise.

Eoin Morgan: "This is probably the most grass I have ever seen on an Eden Gardens pitch. We haven't played our complete game yet. Our batters have performed really well and the bowlers haven't quite hit the straps. Scoring 350 as a side in the first two games puts the batting unit in a good space. Two changes for us, Alex Hales has gone home with a broken finger and Joe Root has a niggle, Sam Billings and Jonny Bairstow are in."
Virat Kohli: "We are going to bowl first, I don't think the pitch will change much. Yes there has been dew, but not too early. It's a massive factor in the last 15 overs or so. One change for us, Ajinkya Rahane is playing in place of Shikhar Dhawan." |

LBW shouts rarely seen in 1st 2 games they could be plenty today and play and misses.

England must win the toss and bat. In the last seven matches at Eden only two teams have chased. And in day-night matches overall, only five have been successful in 16.
Unfortunately, that does not play to their 'strengths'. England are so weak in the field we would still much rather they chase. It would be no surprise if India busted the trend. Is there any evidence that India relax with a series won? Not really. They have won their last two dead rubbers. The third was a defeat by England, however. |

Feeling Nervous about 1st 10 overs as an Indian Layer, could be tricky.

Wish I'd waited a while before backing England as odds continually going out.

Bet a tad more than I would have liked but if early wickets I'll still have to back again (or probably lay India).

This is a pretty good start now, going to lump on England once this ball stops moving

India would be 20-5 if they were batting

Morgs if he hadn't got a ton last time out may have promoted Jos above himself in this scenario.

Got to fancy one of Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler or even Morgan now to make a big score as well. Think England should be targeting 350 again which I think will be a winning score on this pitch(depending on dew)
