England skipper Jos Buttler: 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 replaces Tom Curran.
India skipper Virat Kohli: I would've bowled first again. The toss is completely out of my control right now. It's a hard pitch and has some grass. We've introspected, 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. We have to be at our best today. We have a tactical change: T Natarajan comes in for Kuldeep Yadav.

Pitch Report by VVS Laxman
“The pitch has got a tinge of green and it will be hard, which means that the batsman will look to play through the line. They can trust the pace and bounce on the pitch. With the dew factor, the team winning the toss will be looking to chase first.”

India vs England Live Score, Live Cricket Score, 3rd ODI at Pune Live Updates: Toss update: England have won the toss and opted to bowl first in the series deciding third ODI against India. Mark Wood replaces Tom Curran for England. For India, T Natarajan makes way for Kuldeep Yadav.
Preview: With the series on the line once again, visitors England will look to sign off their India tour on a high when they take on Virat Kohli and Co in the third and final ODI at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Sunday.
England lost the Test series 3-1 before conceding the T20Is 2-1, and an ODI series should surely bring smiles on the visiting camp.
Matters turned from bad to worse for the world champions when skipper Eoin Morgan was ruled out of the last two one-dayers after sustaining a split webbing between his index finger and thumb in his right hand. As a result, Jos Buttler took over the captaincy duties for the remaining games. Meanwhile, speedster Jofra Archer, too, was ruled out of the ODIs after sustaining a hand injury and the ECB in a statement said that Archer would undergo a surgery on Monday. Archer has already returned to the UK.
Meanwhile, India’s focus will be on their bowler department after their batsmen fared pretty well in the second ODI.
KL Rahul led the batting charts with a century (108), while Virat Kohli (66) and Rishabh Pant (77) notched up fifties to take India to 336-6.
However, expensive bowling figures from Kuldeep Yadav (0/84) and Krunal Pandya (0/72) proved costly as the English top-order consisting of Jason Roy (55), Jonny Bairstow (124) and Ben Stokes (99) outclassed the hosts.
This may prompt the hosts to swap the duo with Yuzvendra Chahal and Washtington Sundar.
Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur.
