IND v ENG Fourth ODI, Old Trafford: Dravid bats as Paul Collingwood back in side

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.

Reported Earlier: Collingwood's recovery from a stomach bug after missing practice on Wednesday is good news for the English side, who are hoping to extend their 2-1 lead in the one-day series. 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.
