    England captain Jos Buttler on TNT Sports: "I think the wicket is going to play pretty similarly to the other day, I don't think it will change much and we fancy a chase.

    "We played a lot of very good cricket in our first outing and we got ourselves in a good position to win. We just couldn't close it off but for this group of players, we are at the start of a journey and we've got to focus on that and what we can learn from it.

    "We've just talking about execution, that's what cricket comes down to. There is a strong breeze here, so that's something we'll consider and it means that from certain ends, your execution has to be spot on.

    "We are going with the same team."
