# Kraigg Brathwaite: I would have had a bat first as well. Using the new ball is the key for us. Got to be aggressive and enjoy the game. Holder is not playing. Lewis to make his debut today. I think the guys are looking forward to this.

# Virat Kohli: We are gonna have bat first. Looks a good wicket to bat on. There's a bit of grass that holds up the surface. It's very warm and humid here so the best time to bat will be first. We are playing three spinners. Kuldeep is playing and Shardul misses. Umesh and Shami start for us. Shaw is making his debut, it's a big day for him. We need to focus on our lower order contribution, something we have spoken about. See what Shaw can do at the top.
