We've a lot of experience and depth in our batting, the boys are raring to do, just want to play the brand of cricket that we're playing over the past year. - Shai Hope said at the toss.

Harry Brook - We'll have a bat. Looks like a good pitch and we will look to get a good score. Exceptional death over skills (on Brydon Carse), looking forward to his bowling. He'll bat at 3 (on Jos Buttler), hopefully he'll continue to score big runs and win us matches.
