Aug 30, 2007
Rahul Dravid has won the toss, the 7th in a row. He has elected to bat.
Skipper Paul Collingwood passed the fitness test after suffering from a stomach bug on Wednesday. But Dimitri Mascarenhas remained on the sidelines with a hand injury, so Owais Shah will bat at number seven.

However, Andrew Flintoff and Dimitri Mascarenhas are still unsure of playing.India, meanwhile, have been working on their fielding since the Edgbaston disaster. Fielding coach Robin Singh suggested that India's fielding shortcomings were a cultural problem. He said, "Most players in India don't play more than one sport and they don't play a lot of contact sports. When you play contact sports you're not afraid to fall or get hurt."India have only played England three times in one-dayers at Old Trafford, most famously in 1983 when they won a World Cup semi-final by six wickets.

IND v ENG Third ODI, Edgbaston: India have an edge at Edgbaston

Aug 27, 2007
Allrounder Andrew Flintoff is in doubt for England's third one-day match against India on Monday with a knee injury. The ECB said in a statement Saturday that Flintoff had a scan which showed mild inflammation and was treated with a cortisone injection.
Flintoff hurt his knee during Friday's one-day international against India at Bristol where he finished with bowling figures of 5-56. He had only returned to England for the first match at Southampton on Tuesday after spending four months sidelined with an ankle injury.India vice-captain Mahendra Dhoni said the England team will be slightly on the back foot if Flintoff is not playing, adding He has lifted them a lot, he is the kind of player who always has an impact on the game. In one-day cricket he is the perfect all-rounder.
India are likely to make one change on Monday with left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan hoping to return after a bout of flu in place of Ajit Agarkar or Munaf Patel.
