Speaking at the toss, Ben Stokes said that it is a very important match for England as the series is trailing with a 2-1 lead.

“We will bat first. 2-1 down, a bit more important in the context of the series, but every game is important. The first hour will give an idea about how the pitch will play, but it was always going to be a bat-first track.

My bowling is coming off well, it’s been a long time coming. I’m happy with the way we’ve operated throughout the series and looking forward to more of the same.”

“We would have batted first as well. Looks a bit dry and has some cracks, but that’s the nature of the pitch here. The last two games were good for us and we’ll have to play in the same way. Proud of a lot of young guys in the squad, they’ve taken the responsibility and have taken the challenge head-on.
