Manchester, United Kingdom, July 17 (AFP/APP): India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field in the third and deciding one-day international against England at Old Trafford on Sunday despite being without Jasprit Bumrah.
Back spasms sidelined star fast bowler Bumrah from the series decider, with his place taken by fellow quick Mohammed Siraj.
England, the 50-over world champions, were unchanged from the team that levelled this three-match series at 1-1 with a 100-run win at Lord’s on Thursday that followed India’s equally crushing 10-wicket success across London at the Oval on Tuesday.
