India in England 2011: 5th One Day International – England put India into bat, James Anderson rested
Alastair Cook won the toss and put http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 this summer being played at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff today, Friday, September 16.
The home side has made three changes to the side that tied at Lord’s last Sunday. The spearhead of England’s pace attack, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 has been rested while uncapped Johny Bairstow has been called up to make his international debut.
Jade Dernbach, who was rested at Lord's, is back in the starting line-up while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426 has been called into the side as a second spinner.
Bairstow’s stunning form in the county matches earned him a selectors’ nod. In his last six List A innings, the hard hitting middle order batsman has made a century and three half centuries and holds a strike rate of 120.
No Praveen Kumar for India in today’s inconsequential game. Kumar injured his ankle while playing football during a practice session on Thursday. The Indian team manager, Shivlal Yadav confirmed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 once again failed to make
a cut as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Vinay-Kumar-c2237 has been called up to replace Praveen. Rest of the Indian squad is the same that played at Lord’s last Sunday.
"He will not play today due to the injury," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nandlal-Shivlal-Yadav-c78587 told the media reporters on Friday morning. Giving the details of Praveen’s injury, Yadav said that the pacer suffrered a minor twist on the eve of the match and the physio prescribed him rest considering
it is a dead match.
