Dharamsala, Jan 27: England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and asked India to bat first in the fifth and last One-Dayer here at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Sunday.

England made one change, bringing in Chris Oakes in place of erratic fast bowler Jade Dernbach.
The teams:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain-wicketkeeper), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Shami Ahmed, Rohit Sharma.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Craig Kieswetter, Samit Patel, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes , James Tredwell, Tim Bresnan, Steven Finn.
Umpires: Steve Davis (Australia) and Sudhir Asnani.
TV umpire: C. Shamshuddin.
Match Referee: Andy Pycroft (Zimbabwe).
