Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said, "We will bat first. The wicket looks good. Hopefully, it will spin in the second innings. And it might be slower as well. Sometimes the dew is coming and sometimes it is not. Hopefully, there won't be any dew and help our spinners. It might get slower for sure. We were not bowling in the good areas in the last game. We are going with the same team."
England captain Jos Buttler said, "The dew came in last game and skidded on a bit under lights. Ww would have batted first as well. Looks a good wicket. It came on to the bat nicely. We just got one change. Carse is out. Overton is in. Individual skills are very high."
England: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (w), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
