England bat first in third ODI

England have won the toss and decided to bat in the third one-day international against Australia at Old Trafford.

The hosts must avoid defeat if they are to stay alive in the five-match series following Australia's victories in the first two games.

England make one change to the side from the second contest at Lord's and it comes behind the stumps as Jonny Bairstow replaces the rested Jos Buttler.

Australia, meanwhile, have three changes in their side, with Aaron Finch, Ashton Agar and James Pattinson coming in for David Warner, Shane Watson and Nathan Coulter-Nile.

For Agar, it is his debut at one-day international level.
