To control the image-damage and to win the 4 match Odi series by 3-1(as the 1st odi was called off and 2nd was lost) team india must win this 3rd Odi to remain in the trophy hunt. As this is a must-do Odi match for India, all the indian team players are with self-confidence to take the match away from England. But, the bowling side is a big worry for India. On the Other side English players are Pre-Determined that they are going to clean sweep this odi series also. Slight Changes are made in the Indian team for this 3rd odi , all-rounder R.Jadeja is going to replace Tiwari. Batsmen Badrinath is unlikely to find his berth in the final team. And coming to England, they are to come up with one change. All rounder Trott is going to replace Samith Patel. There are slight chances for variations in final team.

Batting side of India should show up well in this 3rd odi. Batsmen like Pardhiv, Rahane, Raina are performing well but Dhoni and kohli did not show up as good  run scorer for india till now. And the experienced man R.Dravid is as usual the key batsmen for Team India. The batting side of England is strong with consistent run scores like A.cook,keiswetter,R.Bopara and Ian Bell.

Pitch Forecast : Pitch may show more dryness  than the previous test matches held at this place. The ground is good for batting and as this place is known for big scores , there is a chance for big entertainment from batsmen.

Weather Forecast : It'll be cloudy , but there are very less chances for Raining over here. Full fledged 50 over match is expectable.
