Indian skipper MS Dhoni on Sunday won the toss and elected to bat first against England in their second Group B match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

India come into this match after registering an emphatic victory over Bangladesh, while England just managed to beat Netherlands. A win here of either teams will see them top the Group A with four points.

India, strongly fancied to add a second World Cup trophy to their 1983 success, has made one change in their team that beat Bangladesh on the opening day of the World Cup. In-form leg-spinner Piyush Chawla replaces pacer S Sreesanth who went for 53 in his five overs against Bangladesh.

Virender Sehwag who was hit on the ribs during a practice session on Friday is fit to play and will open the batting with little master Sachin Tendulkar.

England has made two changes in their team that won against Netherlands. Ajmal Shahzad comes in place for Stuart Broad and Mike Yardy makes to playing eleven at the expense of Ravi Bopara.
