Meanwhile, Stokes won the toss at Edgbaston and invited India to bat first. At the toss, Stokes said he made his choice to bowl first due to the overhead conditions. 

‘Overhead conditions favour it’

"Overhead conditions favour it. Did consider everything (bringing Archer into the squad?). Very good team performance last week, we're confident. You understand the conditions better as you go deeper into the Test. Brains and me and Baz are not three things you put together. Great run chase, great Test to be part of great start to the series. Last week is last week, need to concentrate on this week," Stokes said after winning the toss.
