LONDON — England won the toss and opted to bat in the series-deciding third one-day international against India at Lord’s on Sunday.

England lost the opener at Edgbaston but bounced back in Cardiff, where Joe Root’s 99 not out was the difference. England have not beaten India in an ODI series since 2018.

The home side brought in Josh Tongue for Saqib Mahmood. India made three changes with KL Rahul, Prince Yadav and Arshdeep Singh replacing Jasprit Bumrah, Washington Sundar and Shivam Dube.
