Toss England win toss, bowl vs India

England have won the toss and sent India in to bat first in the third and deciding T20I at Taunton, both teams' final competitive hit-out ahead of the T20 World Cup starting in 10 days' time.

England will go in unchanged after winning on Saturday by 26 runs in Bristol to level the series.

India, meanwhile, have made one change, opting for the right-arm pace of Kranti Gaud after she took two wickets in their 38-run victory at Chelmsford first up while offspinner Shreyanka Patil makes way.

Play was set to begin in cloudy yet bright conditions with no forecast for rain and a strong westerly breeze blowing across the ground.
