Birmingham, June 30 (IBNS): England won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the group stage match of the World Cup here on Sunday.

The match is crucial for England as a win here will keep their hope alive of reaching the semi-finals round of the tournament.

Indian cricketers are wearing their new away jersey in the match for the first time in the history of the game.

The team management made a major change in the Indian side as wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant, who entered the team after Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out of the tournament due to injury, has been added to the team.

He replaced Vijay Shankar.

Shankar could not deliver with the willow in the past matches.

He has been playing in the crucial number four position.

The two teams are given below:

England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jonny Bairstow, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Chris Woakes, 8 Liam Plunkett, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Jofra Archer, 11 Mark Wood

India: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 KL Rahul, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Rishabh Pant, 5 MS Dhoni (wk), 6 Kedar Jadhav, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Kuldeep Yadav, 9 Mohammed Shami, 10 Yuzvendra Chahal, 11 Jasprit Bumrah
