England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Will Jacks, Jos Buttler(c), Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Rehan Ahmed, John Turner, Saqib Mahmood
West Indies (Playing XI): Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell(c), Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy
Explaining his decision to field, Rovman Powell said: "We are gonna bowl first, it looks like a good surface. Important to bowl well and get a good start. From a team's point of view it is better to lose the series 3-2 rather than losing it 5-0 or 4-1. We have two changes. Sherfane Rutherford comes in for Romario Shepherd and Obed McCoy comes in for Hinds. Shepherd has a tight groin. We have kept losing wickets in clusters. If the guys show good technical skills, that will be good. Today provides us an oppurtunity to correct that."
His opposite number, Jos Buttler said: "It has been a challenge for the team batting first throughout the series. But, it doesn't mean that if you win the toss, you win the game. One change for us - John Turner comes in for Jofra Archer. Our bowlers have bowled well in the series so far. Today presents a new challenge for us and we are up for it."
