England skipper Joe Root won the toss and elected to field against India in the third cricket Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Saturday.

India made three changes to the playing XI, handing young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant his maiden Test cap, while fit-again Jasprit Bumrah was back in the fold replacing Kuldeep Yadav and Shikhar Dhawan came in for Murali Vijay.

England made just one change, bringing in all-rounder Ben Stokes in place of Sam Curran.
