Pakistan win toss and bat against England

Last Updated 20 September 2010, 14:12 IST

England made two changes from the side that lost the third one-dayer by 23 runs at The Oval on Friday with Ian Bell, fresh from a century for Warwickshire at Lord's on Saturday, replacing Ravi Bopara.

Paul Collingwood returned from a virus in place of Luke Wright, while Pakistan were unchanged.

England lead the five-match series 2-1. This match and Wednesday's finale at Hampshire's Rose Bowl ground were given the go-ahead on Monday by English officials despite quotes from Pakistan cricket chief Ijaz Butt accusing England of losing deliberately at The Oval.

Pakistan's Salman Butt, Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif have all been questioned by British police over an alleged plot to bowl deliberate no-balls during last month's Test at Lord's.

A fourth player -- seamer Wahab Riaz -- was also interviewed by the British authorities. All have denied any wrongdoing.

Teams:

England: Andrew Strauss (capt), Steven Davies (wkt), Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Michael Yardy, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson.

Pakistan: Kamran Akmal (wkt), Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Yousuf, Fawad Alam, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi (capt), Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar.
