9.42am Meanwhile, in Southampton, our very own Nagraj Gollapudi reckons he might have a handle on India's playing XI. From the warm-ups, it appears Vijay, Shami and Jadeja are sitting out today.

 

 

[Forward Defence]

So Bhuvi,Bumrah,Pandya, Kulcha and Jadhav will be our attack today

[Suhaan]

Knuckle Kumar to play today

Kohli's memory only lasts till the previous game or two. Expect Shankar to be back if Rahul fails in a couple of games.

SA won the toss and bat first

[tweaker]

SA won the toss and elected to bat

[Austin 3:!6]

Kohli and his toss luck

[Austin 3:!6]

No Shami

[SK_IH]

Big toss to win for SA, also I like their bowling with two wristys

[Stan AF]

SA Batting.

[Iconoclast]

Saffers batting

 

Will have the edge with better bowling conditions if it rains.

[Stan AF]

Should have picked Shami

The other two spinners (kulcha) are useless with the bat so when they must play together there will have to a number 8 who can hold a bat eg bk. Shami misses out for no reason, not due to cloud cover for bk. But damn spinners who can't bat, every country has spinners who can and we always did too. Shami drop will be a mistake in this tournament. He is fast and takes wickets any time.

why kohli why ?? why wud u play bhuvi ahead of shami ????

[Ankit_sharma03]

Sa not playing NGIDI

[R!TTER]

Chase master up, let's see kisme kitna hai dum 

[Forward Defence]

India better restrict SA to a small total here. With DLS coming into play and cloud cover throughout the day chasing may not be easy
