India have won the toss and have opted to field
Shai Hope:
[On whether he would also have chosen to bowl first] Yeah, similar to Shreyas, we would have fielded.
[On the approach for the must-win match after two close games] As you say, it's a must-win game to give ourselves a chance in this series.
Two changes. (Kamil) Pooran is out. Jewel Andrew comes in for his first game on the tour and (Romario) Shepherd comes back for (Quentin) Sampson.
Shreyas Iyer: We are going to bowl first.
[On the relaid surface and the reason for bowling first] Yeah, exactly, that's one of the major reasons. We have a fair idea about how it's playing in the first innings. So based on that, we took this decision.
[On the groundsman's assessment of the pitch and the expected conditions] He said that it's 75% red and 25% black and we've played on such wickets before. But obviously looking at the conditions and dew not coming into play, it is going to be a little bit of intense and see there's going to be bounce as well to offer because I saw the surface. It's pretty hard.
[On the team combination for the conditions] We're going with the same team.
