With England chasing a series sweep, West Indies won the toss and chose to bat first in the third Test at Edgbaston on Friday.

England, which has an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, fielded an unchanged team from its 241-run victory in the second Test at Trent Bridge.

West Indies made one change. Spinner Gudakesh Motie returns after illness in place of allrounder Kevin Sinclair, whose left forearm was fractured at Trent Bridge by England pacer Mark Wood. Wood topped 97 mph (156 kph) with one delivery in the second Test.

It looks a batting-friendly wicket, with sunny conditions.

England won the first Test at Lord’s by an innings and 114 runs.
