Will dew play a role today?

The toss is going to be a huge factor today as on the eve of the India vs England match, the outfield seemed to be wet. The pitch looked dry with scattered grass in the middle. Rohit Sharma and coach Rahl Dravid did take a look ahead of the toss and seen in an animated chat after that.

IND vs ENG, Rohit Sharma's 100th match as India captain

Rohit Sharma will look to extend India's winning run in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as India vs England match is going a special occassion for the hitman. This will be Rohit's 100th game as Team India captain. 
 

While scoring centuries at will for India is not new for Rohit, he is set to acknowledge the applause from the cheering home crowd for a century of a different kind on Sunday.
 

Rohit's journey as the captain of the Indian team began on December 10, 2017, against Sri Lanka in ODI. In late 2021, the dynamic opener took over teammate Virat Kohli in late 2021.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs England Playing 11 live updates

As England geared up its do-or-die World Cup against the 'Men in Blue', British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis, kitted up for a game of cricket with the students of Prerna Girls School in Lucknow on Sunday.

Ellis tried his hand at batting, even attempting a flick off his pads, during his timeout with the students on Sunday.

Sharing his experience of playing cricket on the street of Lucknow and also weighing in on the big-ticket World Cup clash between defending champions England and hosts India, who are yet to be beaten in the tournament, Ellis told ANI, "I'm very excited to be in Lucknow. It's the most beautiful city. I am a little anxious about the game because India are playing very well and England are not playing so well. But I hope that we're going to see a really tight game. There are some great players on both sides. It's just a pleasure to be here in Lucknow."

Saying that India, on current form, appeared to be the favourites to lift the title, the British High Commissioner to India said, "I think India looks the best at the moment. Australia are coming through nicely. I think they look strong as well. South Africa's batting is superb. Probably India would be the favourite, I would think. I'm very excited for today's match. I've seen England and India play many times before. It's usually a good game, so I hope we'll have the same today."

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs England Playing 11 live updates | Will ENG change their batting approach?

England posses plenty of firepower in the batting department and they would be hoping to string together a worthy performance after a string of abject failures.

 

Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook. They are all formidable names in world cricket but have found the going tough in very familiar conditions.

 

Going hammer and tongs from ball one is the need of the hour in the shortest format but the demands of the ODI format are different. England batters must gauge the conditions better and accordingly alter their way of playing.

 

They all love to whack the ball through the line but the Lucknow pitch might not allow them to do that. Root is one batter who have different gears, others need to follow him and show some patience when required.

 

England also have a fair amount of concerns on the bowling front with their stand out pacer Reece Topley being ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Brydon Carse has replaced him in the squad. Mark Wood has been far from his best and will be looking for course correction.

 

However, the spin of combination of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid could pose a threat to the in-form Indian batters.

 

With the home team involved, the 50,000 capacity stadium will be packed to the rafters.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs England Playing 11 live updates | England game opportunity for SKY & Shreyas

Helped by Rohit's bold strokeplay in the powerplay, the Indian batters have set the ideal template for rival teams to follow. India have mastered the art of chasing, whether they are in cruise control or in a pressure situation like they found themselves against Australia.

 

In Hardik's absence, Suryakumar Yadav is the team's choice at number six. Following an unfortunate run out in his first game of the competition, the X factor player will be itching to make an impact.

 

The chatter on Shreyas Iyer's perpetual struggles against the short-ball has resumed following his dismissal in Dharamsala. He will be fired up to prove his doubters wrong.

 

Shubman Gill, who missed the first couple of games due to dengue, is due for a special knock. The Lucknow crowd could also witness a record equalling 49th hundred from Virat Kohli.

 

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who is from Uttar Pradesh, will be looking to fox the England batters at the state-of-the-art stadium here. It was a good test for him against the rampaging Daryl Mitchell and he will be ready for the England challenge.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs England Playing 11 live updates | Will Ashwin get a game?

Compared to England, India have very little to worry about though they will be missing the all-round services of Hardik Pandya for at least the next couple of games.

 

In the usual scenario, R Ashwin would have replaced Shardul Thakur on a pitch that is likely to assist the spinners. However, Hardik's absence forces the team management to play only five bowlers.

 

Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja walk into the combination for Sunday's game.

 

To accommodate Ashwin as the third spinner, India will have to choose between Mohammad Siraj and Mohammed Shami, who asserted his world class credentials with five wickets in Dharamsala. Picking between the two proven performers will be a tough call.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs England Playing 11 live updates | The new raging debate

The umpire's call, one of cricket's most ambiguous laws, has come under spotlight once again and it has sharply divided the opinion of fans as well as those who have deep stakes in the sport.

Heated debates in social media emerged after South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi escaped a leg-before appeal by Haris Rauf as the TV umpire decided to stick with on-field umpire's decision to give not out.

The whole sequence eventually pushed Pakistan to defeat in a crucial World Cup match at Chennai on Friday.

South Africa were nine wickets down at that point, and a favourable verdict would have given Pakistan a fresh lease of life to their sagging campaign in the tournament.

Former cricketers like Harbhajan Singh, Graeme Smith and commentators like Harsha Bhogle took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their views as well.

But the whole cacophony is far away from settled, as former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq asked for the removal of umpire's call.

Harbhajan too echoed similar sentiments while asking for the change in rule.

"Bad umpiring and bad rules cost Pakistan this game. ICC should change this ruleif the ball is hitting the stump that's out whether umpire gave out or not out doesn't matter otherwise what is the use of technology?" he wrote on Twitter.

But those from the backstage has a different take on the umpire's call and the use of technology.

"At this moment, the umpire's call will not be removed. After all, the main function of DRS is not to reduce/replace the role of umpires but to enhance it by way of correcting the errors. This is the best way, I feel," an official, who has long associated with the DRS system, told PTI.

"The whole system has undergone several tweaks in the last few years to keep it relevant while giving good share of space for both technology and prediction," the official added.

That right mix of modern technology and element of prediction is quite important, felt a former umpire who has experience in on-field and TV duties.

"DRS has three parts Pitching, Impact and Wicket zones. Pitching and Wicket zones use two-dimensional lines while the Impact zone works in a three-dimensional space.

"The wicket zone often creates some confusion among spectators as why it endorses umpire's decision, umpire's call as we know it. It involves prediction in terms of whether the ball would hit the stump or not after making impact with pad," he said.

Bhogle's view on X concurred with the umpire's opinion.

"After the ball strikes the pad, what you see is a projection of where the ball might have been, it isn't the actual ball because that has met an obstruction. If more than 50% of the ball is projected to hit the stumps, you can be 100% sure it will.

"But if less than 50% of the ball is projected to hit the stumps, the current accuracy levels cannot state with 100% certainty that the ball would have hit the stumps.

"Hence, you go back to the umpire's original decision because you cannot be certain enough to overturn his call.

"It is a very good and fair method. As cameras get better and the projected path more certain, we could reach a day when you can be certain that even if the projected path shows a ball merely clipping the stumps, it would in reality have hit them," Bhogle wrote.

The umpire noted that this would have happened in the case of Shamsi.

"The ball (by Rauf) was pitched in line and the impact was also in line but the as per the existing rules the ball should hit more than 50 per cent of the stumps, and here it was less, so the on-field decision should stand.

"It could be disappointing from a bowler's perspective, especially in such close matches. But sometimes these close margins make difference, it is a part and parcel of the game," he added.
