Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the Champions Trophy clash at The Oval.

Defending champions India have named an unchanged line up from the one that defeated Pakistan by 124 runs on Sunday.

Sri Lanka captain and allrounder Angelo Mathews, who missed the opening loss to South Africa, has been included in the side for Thursday's match.

Allrounders Danushka Gunathilaka and Thisara Perera have also been named for Sri Lanka.

They replace suspended vice-captain Upul Tharanga, injured batsman Chamara Kapugedera, and allrounder Seekkuge Prasanna.
