    What's the story

    England have won the toss and elected to bat in the third Test (Day/Night) at the newly-built Narendra Modi Stadium.

    The four-match series is presently leveled at 1-1 after India staged a comeback victory in the second Test.

    Now, the two teams are gearing up to win the pink-ball encounter.

    Joe Root will hope his team scores the desired runs.

    Here is more.

    Stadium

    The new Motera Stadium makes its debut

    The newly-constructed Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad, which is deemed the world's biggest cricket stadium, is set to host pink-ball encounter.

    Notably, it has a seating capacity of 1,10,000 after the reconstruction.

    The Motera Stadium, also known as the Sardar Patel Stadium is equipped with a number of contemporary facilities.

    As per reports, the wicket here will likely assist the spinners.

    Scenario

    ICC WTC: A must-win encounter for England

    The Day/Night encounter is of huge significance, considering the ICC World Test championship scenario.

    This will be a must-win encounter for England as a defeat will end their chances of making it to the WTC final.

    Meanwhile, the hosts need to win one of the two Tests in order to claim qualification.

    They also can't afford to lose another Test.
