India wins toss, opts to bat first

Indore, Nov 17 (UNI) Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the toss and elected to bat on the second one-dayer against England here today.

India, who won the first encounter at Rajkot by a thumping margin of 158 runs, will be keen to extend their lead in the series.
