India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl against England in the second cricket Test here on Friday.

India, trailing by 0-1 in the series, will be without regular opener Gautam Gambhir, who has a stiff right elbow.

Left-arm swing bowler Zaheer Khan is already missing from line-up because of a right hamstring strain.

In the absence of Gambhir and Zaheer, left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh and right-arm fast bowler Sreesanth have been picked in the eleven.

England also show a change from their Lord's playing eleven with paceman Chris Tremlett being ruled out because of a niggle in the right hamstring.

Tim Bresnan, the Yorkshire fast bowler, will fill in his place for England in this Test.

Teams:

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (C), Abhinav Mukund, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth and Praveen Kumar.

England: Andrew Strauss (C), Alistair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Tim Bresnan and James Anderson.

Umpires: Asad Rauf (Pakistan), Marais Erasmus (South Africa)

Third umpire: Billy Bowden (New Zealand)

Match referee: Ranjan Madugalle (Sri Lanka).
