|  | GOA — England
would have to be mentally tough against India today in the third
one-dayer of a seven-match series after losing the first two games,
all-rounder Paul Collingwood said yesterday.

“There have been passages of play
when we have dominated during the series. We have to transform those
into a win,” Collingwood said.
“I think it’s probably the mental side of it rather than
anything else. We have the skills and personnel. We have to take that a
little bit further and elevate it.”
In the previous match India, set 227 to win, were reeling
on 92/5 but won after a 118-run partnership for the sixth wicket
between Suresh Raina and Mahendra Dhoni.
In the first match, England, set a low target of 204, were 117/4 but lost their remaining wickets for a meagre 47 runs.
“We are still positive. The key is the humidity. It is
very hot and I think it is going to be a cauldron out there. We have to
be careful of dehydration,” Collingwood said.
Collingwood said his team was not down and out.
“Fred’s charisma and leadership has been excellent.”
England skipper Andrew (Freddie) Flintoff, with his
all-round talent and down-to-earth attitude, has become a hero in
cricket-crazy India.
Indian skipper Rahul Dravid, who has won 14 of 18
one-dayers as captain, said he would try to maintain the momentum in
trying conditions. “It will be tough for both the teams and a challenge
for batsman and bowler,” Dravid said.
He said the form of top-order batsmen was a worry for India.
“We would like a few more runs from the top order. In
the first two games we could have got more runs but it is a seven-match
series and we hope to correct that,” Dravid said.
“The wickets have been tough to bat on. Both teams
struggled in the first two games, which were low-scoring. These things
happen and the guys are working hard,” he added.
Dravid said the flat wicket would help batsmen.
