India won the toss and will bat
Hello and welcome to the coverage of the seventh NatWest Series one-day international match between England and India at the 'home of cricket', the Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
This is the seventh and final match of this superb series and the two sides come here all square after India's outstanding run chase on Wednesday at The Oval which levelled things up. So it all comes down to this game and the momentum is with the visitors, having won the last two games and England will have to pull themselves back into the hunt otherwise India will add the one-day series to the Test series from their tour.
The game at The Oval was brilliant in every way. Some outstanding batting, some good fielding and some fine bowling despite the tally of over 600 runs was coupled with a little bit of controversy and some impressive performances. Luke Wright marked his debut with a 50, Owais Shah collected his first ever ODI century and Dimitri Mascarenhas walloped five sixes in the last five balls of the innings but Robin Uthappa's effort at the end of the India innings, alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly's bullish opening stand lead them to victory.
So, it comes to this match at Lord's. India have a great record here with four wins from five games and their sole defeat came way back in 1975 to England. As per normal on this historic ground, the visitors are always bouyed and England's indifferent record of played 35, won 17 and lost 16 with one tie (against Australia) and a no-result shows that perfectly. And who can forget India's finest moment on the ground - the 2002 win chasing down 326 to win.
Neither side is likely to make any changes to their personnel for this game, showing faith in the teams that performed so admirably on Wednesday. Therefore Luke Wright should keep his place as long as Andrew Flintoff doesn't report fit again, otherwise the Sussex man may miss out despite scoring a half-century on debut or might it be Mascarenhas that missed out. Chris Tremlett and Ryan Sidebottom, who have suffered injury during the series, should have played their last games in this international summer. India have found the solution to their batting woes by selecting Robin Uthappa, coming in at number 7.
Who will win? Such a difficult question but with momentum behind them and the game being played at Lord's, where most visiting teams up their game, an away win is fancied.
This is the 44th one-day international match played on this ground. England have played in 35 of them and won 17 and lost 16 with one no-result and a tie. India have played five, winning 4 and losing 1.
The leading run scorer on this ground is Marcus Trescothick with 595 runs in 13 innings (average 49.58) while the head wicket-taker is Darren Gough with 27 in 16 games (average 22.70).
This will be the 65th 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 29 India 33 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.
Pakistani Aleem Dar continues as the neutral man for this last game and he is joined by Ian Gould of England. Peter Hartley goes back to third umpire and former England batsman Rob Bailey is the fourth. Roshan Mahanama is the match referee.
