England in India, 2012 - 13

India would want to end the series on a high as they take on England in the fifth and final ODI in the scenic locations of Dharamsala, which is all set to host its first ever international match. With the series having already been sealed by the hosts, a few changes are expected in both the sides for this dead rubber.

England defeated India by 7 wickets with 16 balls to spare in the fifth and final ODI at Dharamsala. Ian Bell starred with the bat with a brilliant unbeaten 113 off 143 deliveries.

Suresh Raina has expressed his desire to bat higher up in the Indian line-up in order to have the opportunity to face more overs which would enable him to showcase his full batting prowess and potential.

The Indians first restricted the visitors to 257 for seven and then overcame some anxious moments before overhauling the target with 15 balls to spare in a floodlit contest played in cold conditions at the PCA stadium.

Manoj Tiwary has fully recovered from the side strain injury which kept him out of action for over a month. The flamboyant Indian batsman is hopeful of making a comeback to the national team for the final 2 ODIs against England.

I guess we are just going into the game trying to execute our skills as best as we can and if we do that and perform like we did in the first game, there is every chance we can turn them over: Tredwell.

England skipper, Alastair Cook has expressed his disappointment with the unavailability of the Decision Review System for the incumbent ODI series with India.

The Indian skipper, MS Dhoni has praised the all-round efforts of Ravindra Jadeja labelling him as the perfect bowling all-rounder after the southpaw helped India seal an emphatic 7 wicket win over England in the 3rd ODI at Ranchi.

The Indian bowlers put in an inspired show before Virat Kohli returned to form with a rollicking unbeaten 77 as the hosts spanked England by seven wickets in the third one-dayer to make captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's first match in his home town a memorable one on Saturday.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced that it has decided to not alter the Indian team for the final 2 ODIs against England.
