India vs England Fifth ODI at Headingley

IND v ENG Fifth ODI, Headingley: India redeem some pride (ENG 3:2)

September 2, 2007

England who were chasing a revised 311 from 45 overs after rain interrupted play more than once were finally halted by another downpour giving India a 38 runs (D/L method) victory. England needed 69 runs with 2 wkts in hand and 36 balls remaining at that stage. Mahendra Dhoni equalled the world record for maximum dismissals with six in the innings - 5 catches and 1 stumping.

Earlier, a strong batting performance led by Sachin Tendulkar's 59 ball 71 helped India post a commanding 324 for 6 against England. India's top four hit quickfire fifties after being sent in to bat first. Sachin shared a 116-run opening stand with Sourav Ganguly (59 off 79), who was playing his 300th ODI. Yuvraj Singh followed up with a 57 ball 72 and Gautam Gambhir came up with a valuable 51 at number three.
Rahul Dravid and Dhoni shared a 4.1 over 45 run partnership for the fifth wicket towards the end. Both hit 24 from 17 balls each.

England: Cook, Prior, Bell, Pietersen, Collingwood, Shah, Bopara, Broad, Anderson, Panesar, Lewis
India: Ganguly, Tendulkar, Gambhir, Dravid, Yuvraj, Karthik, Dhoni, Agarkar, Powar, Chawla, Zaheer

IND v ENG Fifth ODI, Headingley: India 324 for 6 (50 overs) bt England 242 for 8 (39.0 overs) by 38 runs (D/L)

IND v ENG Fifth ODI, Headingley: Flintoff, Zaheer doubtful

September 1, 2007

England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is doubtful for Sunday's game against India after fresh problems with his troublesome left ankle. If Flintoff is ruled out, Hampshire paceman Chris Tremlett is the most likely replacement, although Jon Lewis is also in the squad and hoping for an opportunity.

England lead the series 3-1 and will wrap up overall victory with two games to spare if they win at Headingley.
Zaheer Khan, who twisted his ankle at Old Trafford, is not expected to play. Munaf Patel might be the replacement bowler for India. Like Zaheer, Sourav Ganguly also stayed away from Saturday's practice session, complaining of feeling unwell.

England (from): PD Collingwood (capt), IR Bell, MJ Prior (wkt), OA Shah, KP Pietersen, A Flintoff, RS Bopara, SC Broad, CT Tremlett, JM Anderson, MS Panesar, AN Cook, AD Mascarenhas, J Lewis.
India (from): R Dravid (capt) MS Dhoni (wkt) SR Tendulkar, SC Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, G Gambhir, RP Sharma, P Chawla, RR Powar, RV Uthappa, AB Agarkar, Z Khan, MM Patel, KD Karthik, RP Singh.
