England-India ODI at Rose Bowl to Start After Rain

Southampton: England win the toss and field against India at the Rose Bowl in a one-day international reduced to 23 overs per side after persistent rain.

England won the toss and chose to field in the second one-day international against India at the Rose Bowl, reduced to 23 overs per side because of rain.

There was heavy rain throughout Tuesday but a dry spell allowed the groundstaff to get the playing area fit for play.

Bowlers will be permitted three sets of five overs and two of four with only a 10-minute interval between innings.

The five-match series is level after Saturday's opening match at Durham was abandoned because of rain.

Teams for the second one-day international between England and India at the Rose Bowl:

England : Alastair Cook (capt), Craig Kieswetter (wk), Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel, Ben Stokes, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Jade Dernbach

India : Parthiv Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Manoj Tiwary, MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Munaf Patel
