Time/When Start: 11:30 local | 06:30 GMT |19:30 BDT

The last time England won an ODI series in India was in 1984/85. The last time England defeated India in India, in an ODI was in 2006. History is against England, but MS Dhoni and his men will be aware that history counts for little, as Cook showed in the recently concluded Test series.

Teams:
India (Playing XI): Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Ashok Dinda
England (Playing XI): Alastair Cook(c), Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Joseph Root, Eoin Morgan, Craig Kieswetter(w), Samit Patel, Tim Bresnan, James Tredwell, Steven Finn, Jade Dernbach
Pitch Report: It is a flat deck. There will be a bit of carry with the new ball. There is an even spread of grass and the outfield is fast. The spinners will find some grip and it is a 300 plus wicket. The team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
