Jos Buttler has won an important toss against USA at Kensington Oval, Barbados and has decided to bowl first with an early morning start to the game. The defending champions are in a tricky position after a loss to South Africa, and have dropped Mark Wood to bring in Chris Jordan.

USA, on the other hand, are going unchanged and would be looking to make a big impression by defeating defending champions.


ENG Vs USA: Playing XIs

England: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

United States: Steven Taylor, Andries Gous (wk), Nitish R Kumar, Aaron Jones (c), Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar

The decision to bring in Chris Jordan is probably because of his familiarity with conditions in Barbados and if he does get it right, he is one of their best death bowler. USA are still without their regular skipper Monank Patel and it would be interesting to see how they react after a demoralizing loss to West Indies in the last game.

Also, this is the first time these two sides are playing against each other in any format, and let's hope for a cracking game of cricket.
