England bowl, Woakes comes in

Toss England won the toss and chose to bowl v India

England won the toss and chose to bowl in the fifth ODI on a crisp, sunny morning in Dharamsala, India's 43rd ODI venue. Chris Woakes was added to the England line-up in place of Jade Dernbach, while India were unchanged.

Although Alastair Cook's side have already lost the five-match series, they are pursuing what would be only their third one-day win over India on Indian soil in the last decade. With the pitch expected to be hard and fast, England's bowlers will hope for some early assistance from the conditions.

Despite the expectation of some experimentation, there was no opportunity for an ODI debut for Cheteshwar Pujara, while England again opted to leave Stuart Meaker in reserve.

India 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Shami Ahmed, 11 Ishant Sharma

England 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Ian Bell, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Samit Patel, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 James Tredwell, 11 Steven Finn
