England won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the decisive ODI of the series. The match, being broadcast live on Sky Sports, sees the visitors without their premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who misses out due to injury.

The ODI decider carries significant weight with the series level, making the toss decision crucial. England's captain backed his batting lineup to set a challenging target on what appears to be a good batting surface.

Bumrah's absence is a major blow for India's bowling attack, as he has been their most consistent wicket-taker across formats. The hosts will rely on their remaining pacers and spinners to contain England's aggressive batting approach.

Both teams have made changes to their playing elevens for this winner-takes-all encounter, with the result set to determine the series champion.
