Live - England v India

Old Trafford, 30 August 2007
NATWEST SERIES, Old Trafford:
England v India

All-rounder Andrew Flintoff has been passed fit for England's day-night game against India at Old Trafford.

He has recovered from a knee problem which kept him out of the third game of the best-of-seven series and will replace pace bowler Chris Tremlett.

Skipper Paul Collingwood was also passed fit after suffering from a stomach bug on Wednesday.

But Dimitri Mascarenhas remained on the sidelines with a hand injury, so Owais Shah will bat at number seven.
