Chris Gayle has shone for the hosts in the first two games, hitting a phenomenal century in the first and scoring 50 in the second.

Eoin Morgan's side will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment in that second game.

The match at the Grenada National Stadium starts at 1.30pm and you can listen to the match live on talkSPORT 2.

England made two changes for the match after the start was delayed due to rain.

Ben Stokes "rolled his ankle" and has been left out as a precuation while Tom Curran also misses out.

Alex Hales and Chris Woakes both come into the side. The West Indies were unchanged from the second ODI.

England won the toss and chose to field first.

England team: Roy, Bairstow, Hales, Root, Morgan, Buttler, Ali, Woakes, Rashid, Wood, Plunkett.

West Indies team: Gayle, Campbell, Hope, Hetmyer, Bravo, Brathwaite, Holder, Bishoo, Cottrell, Nurse, Thomas.
