England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and chosen to ball first, in what looks like warm, clear conditions in the second T20I at Edgbaston. India currently lead 1-0 in the Three-match T20 series, having won the first game in Southampton.

"Expected to stay a good wicket, small boundaries and we fancy a chase," said Buttler who won the toss.

"We would have batted first. Four changes for India - Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and one more - that is Rishabh Pant. "We want to be fearless and at the same time we want to understand the situation we are in and play accordingly," said Indian skipper Rohit.
