England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to field against West Indies in their World Cup match in Southampton on Friday. England fielded an unchanged side from the Bangladesh game, while West Indies made three changes with Evin Lewis, Andre Russell and Shannon Gabriel coming into the team.

Both teams ended at 2-2 in their high-scoring five-match ODI series in February with one game being a washout. The Windies have already lost a wicket Evin Lewis (2) to a yorker from Chris Woakes in the third over.
