Kochi, Jan 15: The second one-day international will be played today at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here between India and England, with the host fearing the 'death overs'. 



In the first ODI in Rajkot, 38 runs were gifted away by Ishant Sharma and Bhubaneshwar Kumar in the last two 'death overs', and the bowlers have vowed not to repeat it this time.  

Batsman Gautam Gambhir told the media on Monday evening that Ishant was not alone to blame.  

"We can always say the last overs made the differencem but it's not the last two or the first five, but how you play the 100 overs", Gambhir said.  

"If youplay well till the 100th over, I think most of the time, the results will be in your favour", said Gambhir.

Gambhir says Team India was willing to fight and turn things around.  

India's opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Gambhir did well in Rajkot and nearly came up with a century partnership.  

Eyes are on the english spinner James Tredwell, who wrecked Indian hopes in Rajkot.  

Team India is likely to retain the same lineup that was there in Rajkot.  

The squads (from): India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Shami Ahmed, Rohit Sharma, Amit Mishra, Ashoke Dinda, Cheteshwar Pujara.  

England: Alastair Cook (captain), Joe Root, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Joseph Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Stuart Meakar, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, Kevin Pietersen, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes.
