India captain Suryakumar Yadav won his third toss in a row and elected to bowl against England in the third T20 International at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Tuesday.

India, who lead the five-match series 2-0, have made one key change. Mohammed Shami plays his first match for India in nearly 14 months as he replaces Arshdeep Singh, who has been rested.

England have retained the same playing XI but captain Jos Buttler reveals that Jamie Smith will take over the gloves from him.

'It looks like a nice hard wicket and won't change much,' says Suryakumar Yadav at the toss.
