It was a
39-overs-a-side match. India (Moham)made a couple of changes to their playing
eleven – V V S Laxman and Sanjay Bangar made way for Sourav Ganguly (who was
leading the team) and One-day International debutant Kaif.
England made just one change to the eleven that last played the Indians – James Foster made way for Graham Thorpe. On winning the toss, Nasser Hussain, England’s skipper, chose to bat.
