Videos from the ground showed England&#8217;s cricketers exchanging quick passes in a tight circle, a routine that has become a common feature in football training sessions and is also used by cricket teams to sharpen coordination before matches.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The delay was caused after the Indian team bus got caught in traffic on its way to the Rose Bowl. As a result, the toss, originally scheduled before the 7:00 PM IST start, was postponed by 30 minutes. Officials later confirmed that the toss would take place at 7:15 PM IST, with the match set to begin at 7:30 PM IST.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Watch: England players enjoy a game of rondo football while waiting for India&#8217;s delayed arrival at the Rose Bowl<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Once the Indian team reached the venue, preparations quickly gathered pace. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Captain Shreyas Iyer was seen walking onto the field carrying his bat and gloves for a brief practice session, while all-rounder Suryansh Shedge was spotted marking his run-up, fuelling speculation that he could feature in the playing XI. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>There were also indications that India could make a few changes after a disappointing series.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>England head into the contest with an unassailable 3-0 lead after the opening game was washed out and will be aiming to complete a 4-0 series victory.
