West Indies bowl in deciding ODI against England

Marlon Samuels replaces Kirk Edwards in the playing XI

Antigua and Barbuda: West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo won the toss and chose to bowl against England in the deciding third and final one-day international at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Wednesday.

With the series locked at 1-1 following England's three-wicket win in the second match on Sunday, both sides made one change. Marlon Samuels returns at the expense of Kirk Edwards for the West Indies while Eoin Morgan replaces Luke Wright in the England side.

After earlier indications that a different surface would be prepared, this match is being played on the same pitch to the one used for the first two fixtures.

Despite some preparation moisture, it is still expected to offer considerable assistance to the slow bowlers.

Teams:
West Indies: Dwayne Bravo (captain), Dwayne Smith, Kieran Powell, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Darren Sammy, Denesh Ramdin, Nikita Miller, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul.
England: Stuart Broad (captain), Michael Lumb, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, James Tredwell, Stephen Parry
