    It's a great move by Virat Kohli to have three spinners against Scotland, who don't often face spin.

  2. It's far from full, but there's a decent amount of support in for both sides.

    Virat Kohli is talking animatedly to his side in a huddle, he knows there is no margin of error from his side today.

  3. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I'd have liked to have seen Scotland play another spinner. This India team look formidable.

  4. The teams

    Scotland are unchanged from their defeat to New Zealand last time out. India make one change as Varun Chakravarthy comes in as a third spinner in place of Shardul Thakur.

    India: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (capt), Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.

    Scotland: George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer (capt), Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington, Michael Leask, Matthew Cross (wk), Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Alasdair Evans, Brad Wheal.

  6. New Zealand's win against Namibia earlier means they will go through to the semi-finals if they beat Afghanistan on Sunday.

    If Afghanistan win then the door opens up for India, but they need big wins against both Scotland and in their final game against Namibia to go have a chance on net run-rate.

  7. India win the toss and will bowl

    Virat Kohli finally wins a toss - and on his birthday as well! The India skipper opts to bowl first.

  8. Good afternoon

    Welcome to the second T20 World Cup match of the day and it is another biggie - India taking on Scotland in Group 2.
