Fit Munaf may replace Sreesanth

Harbhajan Singh bounced back to form with a five-wicket haul and in Faridabad, it was Ramesh Powar who returned with an impressive 3/34. Now, with Munaf Patel being declared fit for the Goa one-dayer, captain Rahul Dravid will have another option available, despite the fact that he used seven bowlers in the earlier game.

Munaf has now recovered from a bruised heel that had kept him out of the first two one-dayers and is being tipped to play the third ODI. And if Munaf plays, it will be at the cost of Sreesanth who has given away almost 80 runs in just 12 overs from two ODIs so far.

Given that Harbhajan and Powar have bowled well so far, there are less chances that Dravid might think of dropping any of the two. Moreover, India might just need those extra bowlers to do all the hard work, keeping in mind the sultry conditions.

England, meanwhile, putting their two losses behind are looking to draw inspiration from their last tour for a reversal of fortunes in the remaining on-dayers. 8216;8216;We were 1-3 down last time and managed to take it to three-all,8217;8217; said middle-order batsman Paul Collingwood. 8216;8216;We are down but not certainly out yet,8221; he added.

Agreeing that they have to be little more stronger mentally, he said: 8216;8216;We got the skills and personnel, we have to take that a little bit further and elevate it.8217;8217;

8216;8216;We are still positive. I think in the last two games, though we are two down, there were passages of play when we were on top. That is a positive and we have to take it to the next stage.8217;8217;
