MUMBAI - England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bowl against India as the tourists look for a consolation win in the fifth T20 international on Sunday.
The visitors made one change at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium from their previous loss that gave India an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
Speedster Mark Wood comes in pace of Saqib Mahmood, who claimed three wickets in his first over of the last match without conceding a run.
India also made one change, with fast bowler Mohammed Shami replacing left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh as the hosts look to finish on a high going into the three ODI matches.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav said he would have anyway batted first had he won the toss.
