England will look to get the combination right when they take on the low-ranked but spirited Afghanistan in their bid get closer to a semi-final berth, on Tuesday.

After a humiliating loss against the ‘unpredictable’ Pakistan, England got their act together, excelling in all three departments to continue riding on the winning momentum.

The hosts are struggling to get their combination right after being struck by a series of injury setbacks. Injured opener Jason Roy has been ruled out of the of next two World Cup games after suffering a torn left hamstring.

However, himself in doubt for the Afghanistan game, Morgan insisted there is no need to hit the panic button just yet.

On the other hand, the bottom-placed Afghanistan, who have lost all four of their matches will be eager to post their first win in the ongoing 50-over showpiece.

TOSS UPDATE: England won the toss and opted to bat first against Afghanistan at Manchester. Skipper Morgan made two changes, one forced, Vince replaces Roy and Moeen is back, in for Liam Plunkett.

Eoin Morgan: We will bat first. Unfortunately, Jason Roy misses out, it's a used wicket, they have done magnificently well to prepare the pitch, looks like a good wicket, played well the other day, carry for the seamers and turn for the spinners.

Afghanistan skipper Gulaib Naib said that the team will look to improve their batting and because of the pitch condition, they have decided to go with just one seamer. For Afghanistan, , Dawlat, Najibullah and Mujeeb makes their way into the playing XI.

Gulbadin Naib: We would have batted first as well, looks a good wicket, slightly Asian conditions. We are disappointed with our batting, have not even played 40 overs, we have a good chance to restrict them to a good defendable score.

Afghanistan (Playing XI): Rahmat Shah, Noor Ali Zadran, Najibullah Zadran, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Ali Khil(w), Gulbadin Naib(c), Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dawlat Zadran
