"Going to have a bowl. Bit of a misunderstanding with the accent there (confusion at the toss)," said the RCB skipper in clarification.
"Was dew last night. Hoping it will get skiddy in the second innings. That's a long way away. Today is a completely new game. Really motivated to put in a good performance. Forced change with (Reece) Topley being injured. (David) Willey comes in," said Faf.
