England elect to bowl vs India in 5th ODI

January 27, 2013 09:38

England captain Alastair Cook has won the toss and elected to bowl against India in the fifth and final One-Day International in Dharamsala, on Sunday.

India, who have already won the series 3-1, have opted against making any changes thereby denying the in-form Cheteshwar Pujara his debut in ODIs.

Interestingly, the team management also refused to release him to play for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy final against Mumbai. A really surprising decision from India.

England made one change bringing in Chris Woakes in place of Jade Dernbach.
