Rugby World Cup 2011: guess who's back for England ?

Andrew Sheridan will return to the England side for Saturday's final World Cup warm-up match against Ireland.

The 31-year-old missed the opening two warm-ups after summer shoulder surgery.

England will test a new centre pairing of Mike Tindall and Manu Tuilagi, while Chris Ashton returns on the wing and flanker James Haskell is fit to start.

Jonny Wilkinson and Richard Wigglesworth form a new half-back combination and scrum-half Joe Simpson could make his debut off the bench.

The team features six changes from the 19-9 defeat by Wales in Cardiff and provides the strongest indication yet of manager Martin Johnson's first choice World Cup side.

Steve Thompson gets the nod over Dylan Hartley to continue at hooker alongside Sheridan and Dan Cole, while Louis Deacon and Courtney Lawes are paired together at lock with Tom Palmer not even in the 22, Simon Shaw on the bench.

Six changes for England in World Cup test :

Martin Johnson has named a new-look midfield for England's final World Cup warm-up Test against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

Jonny Wilkinson has been picked at fly-half, while there is a blend of youth and experience in the centres as Manu Tuilagi partners Mike Tindall.

Johnson has made a total of six changes from the 19-9 defeat to Wales in Cardiff and the line-up provides the strongest indication yet of his first-choice XV.

Wilkinson is given the No. 10 shirt again after Toby Flood played at the Millennium Stadium while Tuilagi comes back into the side at the expense of Shontayne Hape.

Tindall, who continues as captain in the absence of Lewis Moody, moves to No.12 to get a 72nd cap which will put him level with Will Carling as England's most-capped centre.

Wing Chris Ashton is set for his first start of the warm-up campaign after overcoming a foot injury, joining Ben Foden and Mark Cueto in the back three that was a fixture during this year's RBS Six Nations tournament.

Richard Wigglesworth is named as the starting scrum-half as Ben Youngs continues his recovery from a knee operation, with Joe Simpson set to make his debut from the bench.

Irish possibilities for a World Cup repeat?

Ireland skipper Will Porterfield insists the make-up of England's team for Thursday's One Day International in Dublin has not diminished the sense of occasion in the Irish capital.

It will be England's first appearance in an ODI in Dublin and even with the likes of Kevin Pietersen, James Anderson and Graeme Swann missing from the line-up, the sense of anticipation in the Irish camp is intense.

Ireland famously beat England in the World Cup earlier this year and that has added to the hype surrounding the re-match.

"It's obviously massive," Porterfield told Sky Sports News. "There's been a lot of build-up and hype about it especially after the World Cup, so it is going to be a good occasion."

Temporary stands have been erected for a sell-out crowd of 5,000 at a ground that is more reminiscent of a club venue than an international stadium.

Cricket: Where is India going?

For the past 21 months India had been the top Test team in the world. In April they became the world champions, lifting the World Cup after nearly three decades.

Nothing could seemingly go wrong with this indisputably talented team with the best batting line-up in the world. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain with the Midas touch, leading India to dominate the world of cricket in all formats of the game, including the fickle Twenty20.

Staying on top was never going to be easy but Indian fans are shocked by the way India has capitulated to England during this dismal summer.

After their defeats at Lord's and Nottingham, India had actually scored 10 runs less than Bangladesh managed in their two Tests in England last year!

England secure series in thriller ending against Sri Lanka:

England posted 268-9 on what was expected to be a difficult batting track, it definitelly made them big favourites.

Sri Lanka slipped to 29-3 in reply but a brilliant partnership between Jeevan Mendis and Angelo Mathews threatened to turn the game on its head. But Mendis fell for 48 and Mathews 62 as England edged to victory.

It was a gripping finale to a series which had seen both sides pick up a brace of easy wins apiece to leave matters tied at 2-2 going into the game at a new-look Old Trafford.

England won the toss and got off to a flyer as Craig Kieswetter and Alastair Cook rattled along at more than seven an over until the batting power play was taken in the 13th over. Then, as happens so often with England, there was a flurry of wickets rather than a continuing flow of runs.

Cook advanced down the pitch and was comfortably stumped as Suraj Randiv, who was to end with 5-42, found substantial turn, and four balls later Kieswetter was bowled by Dhammika Prasad for a run-a-ball 43.

England beat Sri Lanka in one-day series:

England showcased a classy all-round play to demolish Sri Lanka by 10 wickets, leveling the one-day series. After a short rain delay England put Sri Lanka in and reduced them to 20-4, with James Anderson (3-24) impressing.

Kumar Sangakkara struck a battling 75 before being last man out as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 174 in 43.4 overs. Captain Alastair Cook hit a wonderful unbeaten 95 and Craig Kieswetter 72 as England - who were delayed briefly by rain - cantered home after 23.5 overs.

England made the most of the seamer-friendly conditions and, having skittled Sri Lanka for 174, Cook and Kieswetter simply blew the tourists away. Cook batted like a man possessed, taking 12 off the first over from Nuwan Kulasekara and playing some majestic drives through the off-side as he comfortably outscored the more naturally aggressive Kieswetter.
