England and India prepare for knockout

Team news

England's side is reasonably settled and there is no reason to expect changes in a knockout match.

England (possible) 1 Ian Bell, 2 Moeen Ali, 3 James Taylor, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Ravi Bopara, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steven Finn.

With Rohit not playing on the Friday, India are likely to go with the same XI that played, or hoped to play, in Sydney.

India (possible) 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Ajinkya Rahane, 3 Ambati Rayudu, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt, wk), 7 Stuart Binny, 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 Axar Patel, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Ishant Sharma.

Pitch and conditions

The WACA usually provides some extra bounce and pace, and the forecast for Friday is for a possible shower or storm and a top temperature of 37C.

Quotes

"I think it is important to win this game given the lack of success we've had before this tour. We've built a confidence in our preparation, in the game in Brisbane and in performances leading into the start of this series. So as momentum and confidence goes I think it's quite a big game." 
Eoin Morgan

"They had the psychological advantage in ODIs in England as well."
MS Dhoni makes light of the suggestion that England might have the psychological advantage after their win over India in Brisbane
