I would've bowled first again, but it seems like the toss is completely out of my control right now. It's a hard pitch and has some grass covering. We've introspected and identified a few areas that we need to improve on, put up 20-30 more runs with the bat and put up a better show with the ball. Our best cricket has come out when our backs have been against the wall - Test series, after being one down and the same in T20s, after being 1-2 down. We have to be at our best today to win the decider. We have a tactical change: Natarajan comes in for Kuldeep Yadav.

We're bowling first, for similar reasons. Very proud of the performance the other day, and it showed our passion. It's important to continue playing the brand of cricket that we played last time. It's been a fantastic tour with some great matches, and we're desperate to win. Mark Wood in for Tom Curran.

TOSS NEWS!

England stand-in skipper Jos Buttler wins the toss and opts to bowl first in series decider.

12:56 (IST) Mar 28

It's been a phenomenal batting surface. There's a tinge of grass but it'll be hard, so the batsmen can play through the line and trust the pace and bounce on the pitch, like the first two ODIs. And with dew coming into play, I think the team winning the toss will bowl first.

Come Sunday, it remains to be seen, if India win the game, it couldn't be better gift on eve of festival of colours Holi.

Meanwhile, England would be bolstered by their Friday's performance and the biggest positive would be the return of form of Ben Stokes, who otherwise struggled on many occasions on the entire tour.

From team's perspective, it would be impossible to ignore Yuzvendra Chahal's inclusion in the playing XI even though the Haryana leg-spinners hasn't been in the best of forms.
