Big Picture
This
has not been an Indian summer. In any sense. The grim September
weather has dominated the start of the one-day series, washing out the
opening match and chopping the second down to 23 overs a side. Added to
the dank weather, injuries have robbed the numerous India supporters in
the crowd the chance of seeing many of their World Cup heroes. It
hardly sounds the recipe for a stirring contest, yet the injuries have
allowed India a glimpse of the future. The only hope of pulling a
positive or two from out of the wreckage of this tour is for some young
talent to flourish. Also, though it feels unlikely, there is still the
possibility of silverware at stake.
India's batting
has been invigorated by coloured clothing. On his way to a blistering
19-ball 40 at the Rose Bowl, Suresh Raina was unrecognisable from the
man who compiled a 42-ball pair in the final Test at The Oval. Parthiv
Patel, meanwhile, has been Sehwag-esque at the top of the order in
bullying England's new-ball bowlers off their plans. But the star has
been Ajinkya Rahane.
He has made
155 runs from 130 balls in his three outings against England and more
than the volume has been the quality of his stroke-making. Short balls
have been pulled easily, full ones driven fluidly and his technique
strong throughout. Short-form runs - as Raina proved this summer - are
no guarantee of class but allied to Rahane's first-class average of
67.72, India fans have plenty reason for excitement.
The
problem India has is with the ball. Praveen Kumar, despite an
off-colour showing at the Rose Bowl, is reliable, as is Munaf Patel, but
beyond that the ranks are thin. Varun Aaron was flown in to give India
the pace they have lacked all summer but has so far served the drinks.
The emphasis of this one-day series should now be a view to the future
so it's a pity Aaron can't get a game.
Eoin Morgan's injury
leaves England without their best one-day batsmen but gives Ravi
Bopara an opportunity to find his feet on the international stage he
looks in danger of slipping off. The other player looking to establish
himself is Ben Stokes. England's lower-order finishing was a major
weakness at the World Cup and the management hope Stokes's
crisp-hitting can solve the issue. As of yet, though, he hasn't had the
chance.

In the spotlight
It was only a cameo - and it ended in frustratingly soft fashion - but at the Rose Bowl, Ian Bell
showed why he deserves a berth in England's top order. It took Bell
four years to crack Test cricket but he is fast-establishing himself as
one of the classiest in the game and now has ODIs in his sights. In
Southampton he struck four perfectly-timed fours to race to 25 without
breaking sweat. Though he gave it away soon after a big score at The
Oval wouldn't be a surprise.
Virat Kohli
presence is one of the reasons India's fielding has been sharper in the
one-dayers than during the Test series. Lively and bristling with
confidence he has also bowled a few overs. But he's supposed to be one
of the brightest batting talents in India and while Raina, Rahane and
even Parthiv have all prospered at times this series, Kohli has been
subdued. He'll hope The Oval will spark a turnaround.
Team news
If
the weather proves as good as the forecasts suggests so there should
be a 50-over contest at The Oval and England will bring Jonathan Trott
back to No. 3. That will reopen the obligatory debate about his scoring
rate but will may also force Samit Patel out the side. Patel took five
wickets in his last ODI appearance at The Oval in 2008 so has fond
memories. If England prefer his spin option, Bopara could miss out.
England
(possible) 1 Craig Kieswetter (wk), 2 Alastair Cook (capt), 3 Jonathan
Trott, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Ravi Bopara, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Tim Bresnan, 8
Graeme Swann, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 James Anderson, 11 Jade Dernbach
India's
search for a fifth bowler means Ravindra Jadeja could come into the
side ahead of one of the batsmen that played at the Rose Bowl, most
likely Manoj Tiwary.
India
(possible) 1 Ajinkya Rahane, 2 Parthiv Patel, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Virat
Kohli, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R
Ashwin, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Munaf Patel, 11 R Vinay Kumar.
Pitch and conditions India vs England 3rd ODI 2011
The weather is set to be much
improved at The Oval. 'Sunny intervals' and a temperature high of 23
degrees is sweet relief after the damp encounters in Durham and
Southampton. None the less by the time evening draws in it will be cold
in London. The Oval should prove a good pitch for the batsmen but
evening dew is always something for the captains to consider.
Stats and trivia
- England have won four of their seven ODI games against India at The Oval but lost a high-scoring thriller the last times the teams met here in 2007.
- From that team in 2007 India have only two surviving players - MS Dhoni and Rahul Dravid.
- If England win at The Oval it will be their fifth successive victory in completed ODI games
Quotes
"We've played some
unbelievable cricket this summer, especially in the test matches, so we
don't want the one day series to be a bit of a damp squib at the end.
It's important we carry on the momentum, because we want all three
forms of the game to be going in the right direction in the next few
years."
Graeme Swann hopes to extend England's run of victories.
"I had done no preparations before coming here. But I learnt as I went along."
