Pietersen- SAID THE COULD BECOME DARK AFTER 3:00 PM
A day after bad light forced an early end to the Kanpur ODI and handed India their third victory of the series, England captain Kevin Pietersen has raised concerns about the possibility of a similar problem in Guwahati, the venue for the sixth one-dayer on November 29.
"They [the authorities] will have to do something about Guwahati," Pietersen said. "We are going to start there at 8.30 am but that will still not make too much of a difference. It could get dark there by 3.30pm."
Guwahati is located in the north east and the sun sets earlier in the region than elsewhere in India. In Kanpur, the start of the third ODI was delayed by 45 minutes due to hazy conditions but only one over per innings was reduced. The light deteriorated rapidly during India's run-chase and the umpires offered it to the batsmen at the end of the 40th over. At that stage India needed 43 runs off 54 balls with five wickets in hand but were 16 runs ahead of the D/L equation.
"I think if we had a full game in Kanpur, we would have definitely taken it close," Pietersen said. "We put a lot of pressure on them and there was plenty of aggression from the bowlers."
However, Pietersen called on his batsmen to convert the starts they were getting into hundreds in order to stay competitive in the series. Pietersen's 63 in the first ODI in Rajkot is England's best individual performance in three matches. Bopara and Shah have also scored three half-centuries between them but they haven't been able to carry on.
"We have played in India for years now and there have only been a few centuries by England batsmen out here," Pietersen said. "We knew, coming to India, we needed to score hundreds to stay competitive and we have not got a hundred yet. Hopefully in the next four games we can try and get four."
England cannot afford another defeat in the seven-match series which India lead 3-0. The fourth ODI is in Bangalore on November 23 and it will be the series' first day-night contest.

Selection meeting leaks 'disgusting' - Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has described as "disgusting and disrespectful" that matters which are discussed in selection meetings are leaked and reported in the media. India's selectors chose Irfan Pathan over for the next two ODIs against England over RP Singh and reports of a serious disagreement over selection cast a cloud over India's preparations for the fourth ODI against England in Bangalore.
"I don't know where the report came from. It cannot be a report because what happens inside a inside meeting when the selectors, the captain and the coaches are there, when it comes out it is disgusting and disrespectful," said Dhoni. "Things like this should not be happening. I'm not saying something happened at the meeting, but over the years we have seen things being leaked from meetings and things getting out.
The Kolkata-based Anandabazar Patrika reported on Saturday that Dhoni favoured the inclusion of RP Singh in the squad for the next two ODIs and offered to step down when the selectors insisted on replacing him with Irfan Pathan. The report said the board president, Shashank Manohar, had been informed of the argument.
BCCI officials have denied the report. "I don't talk about selection meetings. In any case it is all rubbish," N Srinivisan, the board secretary, told Cricinfo.
The report said the selectors raised with Srinivasan - present at the meeting, as convenor - the issue of a lack of respect shown to them by Dhoni. Srinivasan in turn informed Manohar. The board president, with a reputation of being a disciplinarian, is reported to have said unnecessary tantrums would not be tolerated and that no one was irreplaceable. The team, he reportedly said, cannot be picked on personal preferences.
"This is the pinnacle of the sport. We are selecting 15 guys for the Indian team," said Dhoni. "There will be debates inside and that information should not be put out in the media. If it is meant to come out, then I can say we might as well have the whole meeting telecast live on television. Nobody knows what was discussed except the eight guys in the meeting. And only they know whether its the truth or not."
Dhoni said he did not speak to the BCCI because he felt it was not important. In his view, matters of selection should be revealed by the BCCI, the chairman of selectors, one on of the individuals on the selection panel. "We have an important match coming up and we chose instead to focus on that match," he said. "This is a selection thing and personally I don't discuss anything outside. To some extent it does distract us. The good part is that we trust each other - every player in the team trusts each other."
Dhoni pledged his support to both concerned players, RP and Pathan, who he also said had faith in his abilities. "There might be a scenario where all of a sudden we might want to get in touch with RP Singh and Irfan Pathan. It should not be a case where RP feels he is not wanted and left out. I will stand and defend both these players.
"We do not have players in this team with outstanding talent which can win every game. But as a team we are outstanding. So for us the mantra is being a team and these things will not break the trust we have in each other. It's important for us to be a team." SOURCE OF LIVE CRICKET

40.4 Johnson to Flynn, OUT, a wicket falls against the run of play, the ball swings in and lands on a fullish length, Flynn drives away from the body but is beaten for pace, the inside edge cannons on to the offstump
DR Flynn b Johnson 29 (98m 69b 5x4 0x6) SR: 42.02
40.3 Johnson to Flynn, no run, another ripping swinging yorker by Johnson, lands on the base of middle and off and Flynn does really well to keep it out, I tell you Wasim Akram would have been proud of that ball
40.2 Johnson to Flynn, no run, lands on a good length outside off and he shoulders arms
Very good partnership developing here MORECRICKET

That's stumps. Barring a miracle Australia should win this tomorrow. New Zealand lost two wickets too many in the end of the day. Taylor has lots on his plate when he comes out tomorrow. New Zealand need another 184 with four wickets in hand.

One-day cricket's leading batsman Sachin Tendulkar was on Thursday included in the India squad for the next two matches against England, the cricket board said.
Tendulkar, 35, was rested for the first three games at his own request following the four-Test series against world champions Australia which India won 2-0 to annexe the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Tendulkar, who has a world record 16,361 runs and 42 centuries to his name in 417 one-day internationals, last played limited-overs cricket for India in the tri-series in Australia in March.
Tendulkar and all-rounder Irfan Pathan are the two changes in the 15-man squad which took a 3-0 lead in the seven-match series against England here earlier on Thursday.
The duo replace seamer Rudra Pratap Singh and uncapped opener Murali Vijay for the next two day-night matches in Bangalore on Sunday and Cuttack on Wednesday.
The squad for the last two games in Guwahati and New Delhi will be named after the Cuttack match. MORECRICKET

4.39 pm: The par score at the end of the 40th over is 182, so India are 16 runs ahead ... And the umpires have offered the light to the batsmen. Dhoni and Yusuf walk off the ground but Pietersen isn't pleased. He's talking to the umpires, the England players are hanging around ... Pietersen's still talking to the umpires ... and now he walks off looking rather unhappy.
There's virtually no chance of the light improving so that will be the end of the game. I'll bring you the official word as soon as I hear something. I wonder why they didn't shorten the lunch break, or why the captains didn't agree to use the floodlights ...
Here's a rant from Ben: "Unbelievable, what an absolute farce. Why is there seemingly no room for common sense in todays game. 1) Why even attempt to play a match when you know the light will not be good enough all day? 2) What's the point of having flood lights if you can't use them for just this sort of occasion?"
It's official ... the game has been called off and India have won by 16 runs on the D-L method. Dhoni had talked about bad light coming into play at the toss, and it's turned out precisely that way. India have taken a 3-0 lead in the series.
"It is frustrating, it would have been nice to get a full game in today," Pietersen said. "We're getting better though, the games are getting closer. It'd be nice if one of our batters got in and scored a 100. "
"At the end of the day the umpire made decisions and unfortunately we came out bottom," Pietersen said when asked about the light.
"In the morning at the toss I said that D-L would come into play," Dhoni said. "It was bound to happen. I had the sheet in my pocket when I went to bat. We knew if we didn't lose wickets we would get ahead of the equation. the pitch was slower when we batted and the odd ball was turning ... but we had D-L in mind and we got of to a decent start and were always ahead of the equation."
Harbhajan Singh is the Man of the Match for his spell of 3 for 31.

4.39 pm: The par score at the end of the 40th over is 182, so India are 16 runs ahead ... And the umpires have offered the light to the batsmen. Dhoni and Yusuf walk off the ground but Pietersen isn't pleased. He's talking to the umpires, the England players are hanging around ... Pietersen's still talking to the umpires ... and now he walks off looking rather unhappy.

The batsmen have taken the light and are walking off so it's stumps. An excellent day for New Zealand with the ball and openers survived a few nervy overs. Southee, O'Brien and Ryder made life difficult for Australia after putting them in. The conditions were as predicted on the eve of the match and the batsmen will be tested for another couple of days at least.
The weather forecast for tonight isn't very good so let's keep our fingers crossed for a scheduled start tomorrow. Thanks for staying with us. Do join us tomorrow. Cheers!
4.6 Lee to How, no run, gets the ball to nip back in and he forces it off his pads
4.5 Lee to How, no run, pushed towards the covers
4.4 Lee to How, no run, holds the length back outside off, he gets a stride across and lets it go
4.3 Lee to How, no run, fullish in length outside off and defended to the off side
4.2 Lee to How, no run, again plays very close to the pad and angles the ball down to the off side
4.1 Lee to How, no run, Huge appeal for a lbw, that looked really close, Lee brings the ball back in from a full length and appears to hit him in line with leg stump, Lee celebrated without even looking back but Koertzen was unmoved, Hawkeye reckons it would have just missed legstump so a very good decision

3.6 Clark to Redmond, 1 no ball, this time he brings the ball back in and tucks him up as he gets forward, takes another blow on the waist
3.5 Clark to Redmond, no run, holds the length back outside off, he watchfully shoulders arms
3.4 Clark to Redmond, no run, pushes forward to a full delivery outside off and decides against a single to mid-off
3.3 Clark to Redmond, no run, back of a length, he gets on the backfoot and defends
3.2 Clark to Redmond, no run, holds the length back outside off, he drives to the off side

2.6 Lee to How, no run, switches to the yorker length, there's minimal swing for Lee but he safely negotiates it
2.5 Lee to How, no run, fires that back of a length outside off and the ball holds its line before reaching Haddin
2.4 Lee to How, no run, pitches it on a good length outside off and he safely defends it away
2.3 Lee to How, 2 runs, drifts on the body and he hops at the crease and works it away fine, How's a little slow off the blocks for the second run but gets there in time
2.2 Lee to How, no run, How totally at sea there, he doesn't know how to deal with the bouncer, he shapes to play, then decides to let it go and in the end the ball fizzes past his helmet
2.1 Lee to How, no run, slides late on the pads and he;s a little late on the flick, very half hearted appeal for lbw by Lee

1.5 Clark to Redmond, no run, keeps it on a good length outside off and it holds its length before reaching Haddin
1.4 Clark to Redmond, no run, holds the length back outside off, he gets well forward and pushes it to the off side
1.4 Clark to Redmond, 1 no ball, this time he oversteps, he gets forward and digs it out to the off side
1.3 Clark to Redmond, no run, what a jaffa! I tell you folks batting isn't easy out there, this one pitches on off and middle and slices Redmond in half as the ball sails over middle stump.......more
