NOTTINGHAM, England -- Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be chasing England with his bat after India won the toss and opted to bowl first in their Twenty20 at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

England leads the five-match series 1-0 after winning the second match by four wickets on Saturday. The first T20 was washed out.

Sooryavanshi became the youngest man to play for India last weekend at 15, more than a year younger than Sachin Tendulkar. He opened the batting, hit a first-ball six off Jofra Archer, but was out for 14 from 10 balls. Prince Yadav has replaced Ravi Bishnoi in the lineup.

England was unchanged.

India, the reigning T20 world champion, has lost its last three completed matches in the format, after a shocking 2-0 series defeat in Ireland before coming to England.
