Pitch report
"This looks like an even better pitch than the first one. Though there's a bit of grass and looks a bit firm, so there will be some help for the seamers," says Ajit Agarkar.
"Pace and length are going to be important because this pitch looks flatter than the first one," says Deep Dasgupta.

England: Likely changes
England are without Eoin Morgan and Sam Billings. Morgan is out of ODI series because of a finger injury. Billings injured his collar bone in the first match and will miss the second ODI. Liam Livingstone will make his debut today.
Dawid Malan has also been added to the squad and could play in the second ODI. These are the two changes that England could make.
Possible lineup: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Dawid Malan, Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Tom Curran, Mark Wood
12:45 (IST)
India: Likely changes
Shreyas Iyer is out of the ODI series due to a shoulder injury, so Suryakumar could make his ODI debut today. Or India may decide to bring in Rishabh Pant. Kuldeep Yadav was expensive in the first match and Yuzvendra Chahal could replace him today.
Possible lineup: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav/Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna

Suryakumar likely to make XI as Kohli and Co aim to seal series in second ODI
The immensely talented Suryakumar Yadav is likely to get a chance to showcase his '360 degree' hitting skills when a rampaging Indian team takes on a rather clueless England, aiming to seal another series victory in the second ODI.
Shreyas Iyer's dislocated shoulder has once again brought Yadav in focus and his ODI debut, after a blockbuster T20I first outing, looks imminent after an all-round show by the hosts ensured an easy victory in the first game.
England have a lot to ponder on and injuries to skipper Eoin Morgan and batsman Sam Billings, while fielding, in the lung-opener have only added to their woes. Morgan is out of ODI series. Billings would miss the second ODI.
Visitors' middle order hasn't performed up to its potential and the likes of all-rounder Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali faltered with the bat. If England have to put a big total or chase a score, the trio needs to fire in unison.
