Will Ryan come back?

Ryan Sidebottom, the England left-arm medium-pacer, is unlikely to be risked for the second ODI against India on Monday in Indore. Sidebottom missed England's 158-run loss in Rajkot on Friday due to an Achilles tendon problem, and coach Peter Moores does not want to hasten his return to the side.

"If we're looking to risk him in the second game we'll see how he is on Sunday," Moores said. "We're a little bit wary because he's had a long time out of competitive cricket and the last time we brought him back in the Stanford practice game he tweaked something.

"We're trying to get as much competitive bowling into him without playing a game before he plays again."
