FOURTH ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL, Gwalior:
India v Pakistan
Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik won the toss and opted to bat in the must-win fourth one-day game against India. The tourists, who are 2-1 down in the five-match series, have not lost a day-nighter in India since the quarter-finals of the 1996 World Cup. They brought in seamer Rao Iftikhar Anjum for slow left-armer Abdur Rehman, while India recalled opener Virender Sehwag for spinner Murali Kartik. The last four teams which have opted to bat first in Gwalior have won the game. India v Pakistan

Apart from the bloke who owns the newsagent round the corner from my mum and dad's house, who once accused me of nicking a King Size Mars Bar. I never did forgive him for that. 0834: All right? Today, we have what should be a lovely game of cricket between India and Pakistan. Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik has won the toss and chosen to bat first. The team news is that Virender Sehwag is in for Murali Kartik for India. Pakistan have left out their left-arm spinner Abdur Rahman and chosen Rao Iftikhar Anjum instead.
