Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Match State: Match start scheduled for 9am local time (3.30am GMT)
`Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's continuing coverage of the England
tour of India, 2005-06, from Jamshedpur now me move to Indore for
the 7th and final encounter of the ODI series.
With the series safely bagged, India took the opportunity to test
their bench strength and England notched up a much needed victory
at Jamshedpur which halted India's run of eight successive wins.
Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground is all set and ready for the
final showdown, even though the series has been already decided,
both sides would be looking forward to eke out a win here today
and end things on a winnings note.
Rahul Dravid is back at the helm of the Indian team after a two-
game break, that should provide some much needed stability at the
top.
India captain Rahul Dravid has won the toss and elected to bowl
first.
Pitch looks good , there might be some help for the bowler earlier
on and that's probably why Dravid has elected to bowl first.
Geraint Jones and Kabir Ali are back replacing Solanki and Hoggard
- surprisingly there is no Flintoff in the line-up!
The stadium is already full to the brim and the noise is deafening,
it's hot and humid out there - not exactly perfect conditions for
cricket but it' not that bad either.
