BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl against rival India in their Group B Champions Trophy match at Edgbaston on Sunday.
India opted for five main bowlers, including allrounder Hardik Pandya.
Pakistan included 18-year-old legspinner Shadab Khan, with no place for Faheem Ashraf who impressed with the bat against Bangladesh in a tournament warmup.
Both captains - Virat Kohli for India and Sarfraz Ahmed for Pakistan - said the wicket looked a good one.
A mostly sunny day is forecast for the region with possible showers.
A minute's silence was held before the match for the victims of the terrorist attacks in London on Saturday night.
Top-ranked South Africa and Sri Lanka are also in Group B.
