England has won the toss and elected to bat against Pakistan in the decisive fifth and final one-day international, the last match of the visitors' troubled tour. England made one change for Wednesday's game at the Rose Bowl, with allrounder Luke Wright coming in for spinner Michael Yardy.
Pakistan was unchanged from its 38-run win at Lord's on Monday to square the series at 2-2, after paceman Shoaib Akhtar passed a fitness test on his side complaint.
Pakistan lost the test series 3-1 and the Twenty20 series 2-0 on a tour tainted by allegations of "spot-fixing," resulting in three of its players being suspended and charged by the ICC under its anti-corruption code.
Teams:
England: Andrew Strauss (captain), Steven Davies, Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Luke Wright, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Tim Bresnan, James Anderson.
Pakistan: Shahid Afridi (captain), Mohammed Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Mohammed Yousuf, Fawad Alam, Umar Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar, Saeed Ajmal.
