West Indies bowl after rain delay, Matthew Forde makes debut

West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first vs England

West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first against England in the third and deciding ODI in Barbados, which has been reduced to 43-overs a side after persistent rain caused a two-hour delay to proceedings.

After sharing the honours in the two opening exchanges in Antigua with unchanged XIs, both sides have tweaked their sides for this winner-takes-all encounter. West Indies will hand a debut to right-arm seamer Matthew Forde, drafted in to replace Oshane Thomas. England have also opted for a single enforced change. An illness to Brydon Carse means Matthew Potts, his Durham teammate, will make just his fifth ODI appearance.

Given the time spent under covers, there is the possibility of extra juice in the pitch which, combined with the cloud cover and moisture in the air might have led home skipper Shai Hope to ask Jos Buttler's charges to bat first. England did so in the first ODI, scoring 325 before Hope's 16th ODI century and a 28-ball 48 from Romario Shepherd gave the hosts what had looked an unlikely win, after they had been reduced to 213 for 5 in the 39th over.

Both teams will be wearing black armbands today to mourn the passing of former West Indies batter Joe Solomon and ex-CWI President Clyde Butts.

West Indies: 1 Brandon King, 2 Kjorn Ottley, 3 Alick Athanaze, 4 Shai Hope (capt, wk), 5 Keacy Carty, 6 Shimron Hetmyer, 7 Sherfane Rutherford, 8 Yannic Cariah, 9 Alzarri Joseph, 10 Gudakesh Motie, 11 Matthew Forde

England: 1 Will Jacks, 2 Phil Salt, 3 Zak Crawley, 4 Harry Brook, 5 Ben Duckett, 6 Jos Buttler (capt & wk), 7 Liam Livingstone, 8 Sam Curran, 9 Matthew Potts, 10 Rehan Ahmed, 11 Gus Atkinson.
