[1]England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to field in the fifth and final one-day international against India at Sophia Gardens here on Friday.
India are seeking to restore some pride in the final one-day international after what has been a dispiriting summer.
They lost the Test series 4-0 and have been decimated by injuries with eight players, including Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh being invalided out of the tour.
By contrast England, already ranked the number one Test team in the world have emphasised their desire to get to the same status in one-day cricket.
