England call for Swann

Graeme Swann has been added to England's squad for the third one-day international against India in Kanpur tomorrow.

The Nottinghamshire off-spinner has been added to the side who were beaten by 54 runs in the second game of the seven-match series at Indore on Monday.

India's spinners tore England apart in Indore, while England captain Kevin Pietersen had to rely on his own part-time bowling to back up Samit Patel.

Essex's Ravi Bopara was unable to train at Green Park today because of a stomach complaint and left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom was unable to bowl after reporting discomfort in his lower back.

Sidebottom was sent for a scan last night but the results are inconclusive and England will monitor him over the next few days before deciding on a further course of action.

I've got this image of several Indian batters shaking in their boots.
