Shah and Mascarenhas set up a huge score after early blow



Shah with a superb century and Mascrenhas heroics of 5 sixes of Yuvraj Singh changed the whole scenario of the game in the last over taking the hosts total over 300 mark .

Earlier , England skipper Collingwood won the toss and elected to bat against India in the penultimate match of the seven-game ODI series at the Kennington Oval, London.

All-rounders Andrew Flintoff and Bopara ruled out of this tie due to the ankle and thumb injuries respectiively.

Dimitri Mascarenhas and debutant Luke Wright make it to England squad. His under pressure 50 would be a tinker to the selectors in his debut match .

India made one change to the side which won at Headingley Carnegie to reduce the deficit to 3-2 with Dinesh Karthik replaced by Robin Uthappa.

Indian opening attack struck early to send both the openers packing.

Zaheer dismissed Alastair Cook in the second ball of the match, which nipped away before taking an outside edge of Cook's willow to give a regulation catch to Dhoni.

Agarkar struck in his second over trapping Prior plumb infront that left England reeling on 7 for 2 in 4 overs. The man in form Ian Bell (14) and Pietersen (1) were at the crease with a huge task to steady tottering English innings.
