| India won the toss and will bat | |||
| Hello and welcome to the coverage of the fourth NatWest Series one-day international match between England and India, coming to you from Old Trafford in Manchester. | |||
| This is the fourth match of the long seven-match series and the third and last to be played under floodlights in this series. England took a 2-1 lead at Edgbaston, despite the heavily partisan crowd in favour of the visitors! And, for the third game running, it was a thrilling contest which only went England's way late in the match, coming home by 42 runs. | |||
| There is a pattern emerging in this summer of international cricket. You bat first, you win the game. In all six ODI's played in England this season, the side batting first has won the game and, much to Rahul Dravid's dismay, he has inserted the home side twice in this series so far! So, he will be hoping for a change in fortune if the coin comes down his way again. The record in floodlit matches here at Old Trafford (this ground doesn't have permanent lights) is 2-1 to the side batting second. | |||
| In this most entertaining of series, India will be wanting to recover some form as, so far, they have been pretty ordinary, especially in the field. It is a serious concern for the coaching staff and the outfield at Old Trafford is hardly going to conducive to throwing themselves around! An 'Arctic Monkeys' concert on the ground three weeks ago has left the ground in some state and Lancashire have been on the back foot to allay fears to safety. | |||
| One thing that might cheer the local crowd up is the return of Andrew Flintoff to the starting line-up. He missed the game at Edgbaston due to a knee problem but is likely to come back into the side for the unfortunate Owais Shah. England will otherwise stick to the same side, even though Dimitri Mascarenhas is fit again. India, on the other hand, may be forced into including all-rounder Ajit Agarkar at number seven instead of Munaf Patel. Their batting was woeful weak after Dhoni at six at Edgbaston so Agarkar will add a slight safety valve even though his performances have been ordinary thus far. | |||
| Who will win? England pace bowling battery will be key here on the quickest of pitches at Old Trafford so a home win is likely. | |||
| This is the 37th one-day international match played on this ground. England have played in 28 of them and won 17 and lost 10 with one no-result. India have played seven, winning 3 and losing 4. | |||
| The leading run scorer on this ground is Graham Gooch with 405 runs in 10 innings (average 45.00) while the head wicket-taker is Bob Willis with 15 in 9 games (average 17.13). | |||
| This will be the 62nd time these two sides have met in an ODI. The last time before this series was in Jaipur during the Champions Trophy and India won that by 4 wickets chasing down just 126 to win. Overall, the record stands at England 28 India 31 with 2 no-results. | |||
| The highest individual score for England v India is 137 by Dennis Amiss at Lord's in 1975. | |||
| The highest individual score for India v England is 134* by Navjot Singh Sidhu at Gwalior at 1992/1993. | |||
| The best bowling performance for England v India is 5-26 by Ronnie Irani at The Oval in 2002. | |||
| The best bowling performance for India v England is 6-23 by Ashish Nehra at Durban in 2002/2003. | |||
