The visitors will practice at the venue for two hours on Sunday morning and a three-hour session scheduled for the hosts will follow. The England team is also expected to address the media later in the evening,\u201d says the report.<\/p>\n<p>BCCI curator P. R. Viswanath visited the venue on Saturday and expressed satisfaction over the condition of the wicket, which is expected to be batting-friendly. The two sides have a long history to renew in Kochi and just four men remain in contention from the time they locked horns here back in April, 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>The Hindu<\/strong> reports that fans and performing artists had to endure nearly a two-hour wait for the India and England cricket stars at the Kochi international airport at Nedumbassery on Saturday evening. But they did not mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe long wait \u2013 the flight from Rajkot arrived nearly an hour late \u2013 seemed to be worth it as the fans, nearly 1,500, cheered the arriving stars and pulled out mobile phones to capture the arrival. Team India\u2019s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a word with a kathakali artist, which was quickly captured by the media shutterbugs hungry for photo opportunity. A 200-strong police force was present at the airport but it did not have to strain much despite the big crowd,\u201d says the report.<\/p>\n<p>With a couple of other flights also landing around the same time, many preferred to wait and catch a glimpse of the cricketers. The two teams will have a practice session at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Sunday \u2013 India at 11 a.m. and England from 1.30 p.m. \u2013 which will not be open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report in <strong>The Indian Express,<\/strong> BCCI Curator P R Viswanadh has expressed satisfaction with the pitch prepared for the second India-England ODI scheduled to be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here on January 15. Viswanadh said he was fully satisfied with the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are ready to hold the match even tomorrow. It is hard and has enough grass and is a batting pitch,&#8221; he told reporters after the pitch inspection.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kerala Cricket Association Secretary T C Mathew said all preparations for the ODI are complete. About2000 policemen would be deployed for ensuring security. Except for a few gallery tickets, all other tickets have been sold out, he said. Mathew assured that the only eatables checked by the health inspectors would be allowed inside the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Meterological department sources said rain would not play spoilsport as in 2010 when the India-Australia match had to be abandoned without even a ball being bowled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of India and England teams arrived here on Saturday for the second ODI to be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium on January 15, says a report in Deccan Chronicle, adding that despite a disappointing start to the series in Rajkot, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and boys were cheered by thousands upon arrival at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[705,622,810,520],"class_list":["post-12739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-from-the-newspapers","tag-bcci","tag-mahendra-singh-dhoni","tag-suresh-raina","tag-yuvraj-singh"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>India and England teams arrive in Kochi for second ODI - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
