India are expected to throw in new faces for the rest of the series as the selectors attempt to build a strong base for the 2011 World Cup

Pitch and conditions

The Barabati Stadium hosted day-night games during last month’s Challenger Trophy. With the pitches on the slower side there were not many big scores, and teams were dismissed four times in eight innings. No rain is expected on Wednesday, but dew could play a factor during the chase. The curator, Pankaj Patnaik, felt the team winning the toss would bat. “The pitch is looking good, it’s compact,” he told the Indian Express. “It’s a sporting wicket, and the bowlers will get good bounce here. But at the end of the day, it’s a one-day match and the pitch will be batsman-friendly.”

Team news

England need to settle on their combination at the top of the order. Matt Prior has been totally down, with Ravi Bopara the man to pair with Ian Bell. Also worrying is the form of James Anderson, who has one wicket in England’s last eight completed games, and has not kept the runs down against India, conceding 158 runs off 25 overs. Steve Harmison is likely to replace him although he, too, was expensive in the first two ODIs,

England (probable) 1 Ravi Bopara, 2 Ian Bell, 3 Owais Shah, 4 Kevin Pietersen (capt), 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Andrew Flintoff, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Matt Prior (wk), 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 Steve Harmison.

After the Bangalore match, Dhoni said the unused players would be tried in the remaining games. Dhoni himself could do with a break, but there is no other keeper in the squad, though Thursday’s selection meeting for the last two ODIs could redress that. Virat Kohli, Irfan Pathan and Pragyan Ojha will be hoping to get a chance in Cuttack.

India (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan/Irfan Pathan, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Munaf Patel.

Quotes

“Some of the lads have not played a great deal in India, played in front of these type of crowds with the attention on cricket you get over here. The World Cup is over here in a few years’ time, so the more opportunities to play out here and develop your skills on these type of wickets, the more it will be beneficial to this group of lads.”
The series is lost, but Andrew Flintoff looks at the positives of playing a seven-ODI contest

“I think the exciting thing about this team is that they are playing for each other. We are more interested in what we can achieve as a team rather than individuals.”
Winning as a unit matters, says India coach Gary Kirsten

England need to settle on their combination at the top of the order. Matt Prior has been shunted down, with Ravi Bopara the latest man to partner Ian Bell. Despite a stand of 79 in Kanpur, the rate of scoring early in the innings is still a major problem. Owais Shah was back at No. 3 for the 22-over chase in Bangalore, but could slip to six again with Kevin Pietersen heading back to first drop as England continue to send out plenty of mixed signals. Also worrying is the form of James Anderson, who has one wicket in England’s last eight completed games, and has not kept the runs down against India, conceding 158 runs off 25 overs. Steve Harmison is likely to replace him although he, too, was expensive in the first two ODIs, but his ability to generate bounce could provide problems for the batsmen.

England (probable) 1 Ravi Bopara, 2 Ian Bell, 3 Kevin Pietersen (capt), 4 Paul Collingwood, 5 Andrew Flintoff, 6 Owais Shah, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Matt Prior (wk), 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 Steve Harmison.

After nearly five hours of rain delays, the contest was minutes away from an abandonment when the umpires decreed that the conditions were fit for play, and as things turned out, their decision proved to be worthwhile. For eight hard-hitting overs, while Owais Shah and Andrew Flintoff were together at the crease, adding 82 for the fourth wicket, England put up the best fight they have shown all series. But in the final analysis, the unbridled flamboyance of India’s batsmen, coupled with the nerveless short-form skills that India’s bowlers have learnt from their time in the IPL, proved decisive.

England captain Kevin Pietersen has urged his team to keep “their chins up” as he attempts to salvage some success amid the ruins of the side’s one-day campaign in India. The tourists have already lost the seven-match series after slipping to their fourth consecutive loss but with next month’s two Test matches looming, Pietersen wants England to keep morale high. “Playing in India is completely different to playing in England,” Pietersen said after India won the rain-curtailed fourth match here on Sunday night by 19 runs to clinch the series. “The ball does not swing, seam or bounce here, it is a totally different game Cricbuzz.com
