India elect to field against Windies

India won the toss and decided to take the field on Friday in the third One-day International against West Indies at the Beausejour Cricket Ground.

There are two changes for India with Ishant Sharma and Abhishek Nayar replacing Praveen Kumar and Ravindra Jadeja, but West Indies are, predictably, unchanged.

The four-match series is level 1-1, after India won the high-scoring opening ODI by 20 runs last Friday at Sabina Park in Jamaica, and two days later, West Indies rebounded to secure an eight-wicket victory in a low-scoring second ODI at the same venue.

Whichever side wins the third ODI will be fortunate to take an unbeatable lead in the series, but India will be hoping it will be them, as they look to formalise a rare ODI series victory in the Caribbean before embarking on a much-anticipated two-month break from the game.

West Indies: Chris Gayle (captain), Runako Morton, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Darren Bravo, Denesh Ramdin, Jerome Taylor, David Bernard Jr, Sulieman Benn, Ravi Rampaul
