It was a
48-0vers-a-side match. India made (Srina)three Ch(et)anges to their playing
eleven – Sanjay Manjrekar, Sharma and Subroto Banerjee made way for Navjot
Singh Sidhu, Vinod Kambli and Javagal.
England made three changes to the eleven that last played the Indians (at the World Cup the previous year) – Ian Botham, Derek Pringle and Phil Tufnell made way for Mike Gatting, John Emburey and Paul Jarvis. Graham Gooch, their skipper, won the toss, inserting the hosts.
India’s opening pair didn’t get off the mark. Sidhu, who faced a couple of balls, didn’t open his account. He was dismissed by Jarvis. Manoj, whose 29-ball included four boundaries, scored 25. Jarvis broke the 31-run P(rabhak)artnership.
