Joe Root scored 86 in the first ODI. Ben Stokes will not feature in the second ODI as he has retired from this format.

PITCH REPORT:

Old Trafford has traditionally produced even wickets. It has something for both batters and bowlers. In the first 10 overs there will be swing to purchase form the pitch. Batting becomes a bit easy after the power play. Bowlers get extra bounce on this pitch that might trouble batters a bit. This will be the second match in a week on this ground. Dry nature of the pitch will help spinners as well.
