NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan in the third one-day international on Tuesday.

England kept faith in the same playing XI for the third successive match, after beating Pakistan in the first two ODIs of the five-match series.

Pakistan had to make one forced change after allrounder Imad Wasim couldn't recover from a blow on the knee during the second ODI at Lord's, and was replaced by another allrounder Mohammad Nawaz.

England won the first rain-affected match by 44 runs at Southampton, and the second by four wickets at Lord's.
