Captain Point of View:
Kane Williamson: We will bat first. It looks like a good surface. We have played a number of games here. We have a great opportunity to put up a good performance against a side like India. One change for us. Ferguson comes in for Southee.
Virat Kohli: We wanted to bat first also. It's a fresh wicket, nice and hard, and not moist. It's going to remain similar throughout the course of the game. We have played really good cricket in Manchester, two good games, and it's about focussing on the basics. We have a single change. Chahal comes back in for Kuldeep Yadav.
