Kolkata: England skipper Alastair Cook won the toss and selected to bowl first against India in the fifth and final one-day international at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens stadium on Tuesday (today).
England are hoping to avoid a 5-0 whitewash without star batsman Kevin Pieterson, who misses out with a broken thumb.
Finally middle order batsman Ian Bell gets his first opportunity in the series while spinner Graeme Swann returned to the side after being rested for the previous match in Mumbai on Sunday, replacing Scott Borthwick.
India made only one change and selected Manoj Tiwary instead of Parthiv Patel
