Leeds (England): England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to field first at Headingley, Leeds on Friday, June 20. Stokes suggested that Headingley is always a good cricket wicket and was hoping to use the early assistance for the bowlers, with the pitch expected to get better later on to bat.
Indian skipper Shubham Gill also wanted to bowl first, using the conditions with the ball, but didn’t mind batting, given that the sun was out and the conditions were dry in Leeds.
India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, K L Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Karun Nair, Ravindera Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprith Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
