There is no equivalent of the query.ToString() AFAIK. You can eventually use DbContext.Database.Log property:

db.Database.Log = s =>
{
    // You can put a breakpoint here and examine s with the TextVisualizer
    // Note that only some of the s values are SQL statements
    Debug.Print(s);
};
db.SaveChanges();
