England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to field against India in the third one-day international at The Oval here on Friday.

England batsman Jonathan Trott returned to the team in place of spinner Samit Patel as Cook made one change from the side that won the rain-affected second game at the Rose Bowl by seven wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

India made two changes, with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja coming in for Manoj Tiwary, and RP Singh replacing Vinay Kumar.
