NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom: West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and elected to field in the second day/night one-day international against England at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
England were unchanged from the side that comfortably won the series opener by seven wickets at Old Trafford on Tuesday -- a match that saw Jonny Bairstow score his maiden one-day international hundred.
West Indies, however, were without star batsman Chris Gayle -- a hamstring strain suffered during the warm-up sidelining the big-hitting opener on his 38th birthday.
At an overcast Trent Bridge, long known for providing assistance to swing bowlers, paceman Miguel Cummins replaced leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo in the other change to West Indies´ XI at Old Trafford.
Their defeat in Manchester meant two-time former champions West Indies could no longer gain direct entry to the 2019 World Cup in England and will now have to take part in a qualifying competition instead.
