Dimitri in with chance

Dimitri Mascarenhas hopes hitting five sixes in an over in the sixth one-day international against India will secure him a place in England's squad for the Twenty20 World Championship.
Mascarenhas had made six from nine balls when he took strike against Yuvraj Singh in the final over at the Brit Oval Wednesday.
He miscued the first ball, and was almost out from the second as Piyush Chawla took a running catch at deep midwicket only to sprawl back against the boundary rope.
"I saw him catch it and I just thought touch the rope, touch the rope, and he did," Mascarenhas said. "That's what you need sometimes, a bit of luck."
There was no luck about the next four deliveries, though, as the Hampshire all-rounded thrashed Yuvraj for further sixes in that same arc between the sightscreen and midwicket.
"It wasn't a plan -- but with slower bowling you're conscious of getting as many runs as you can," Mascarenhas went on.
"It wasn't a surprise to see him bowl it because he'd bowled the 48th well.
"After the second one I knew I was seeing it pretty good, so I just kept swinging hard and it kept hitting the middle of the bat."
With England's squad for the Twenty20 World Championship, which starts in South Africa next week, ravaged by injury, Mascarenhas must come into contention.
"There's obviously a chance with injuries -- that's all I know," he said. "I'd love to be in the Twenty20 side."
Ravi Bopara has a thumb injury, while Andrew Flintoff remains a doubt for the competition with an ankle problem.
His condition will be monitored further over the next couple of days before a final decision is made.
Mascarenhas was named in England's provisional 30-man squad for the tournament, but not in the final 15.
Given his bowling ability -- he took two wickets at the Oval -- Mascarenhas would be a logical straight swap for either Bopara or Flintoff.
"The closest I've seen to that was South Africa against Australia when they chased over 400," his captain Paul Collingwood said in evident admiration.
"That's the only thing that comes close. It certainly tipped the momentum in our favour."
It carried England's score to 316-6, but that wasn't enough as Sachin Tendulkar hit a magnificent 94 to set up India's run chase.
Even Rahul Dravid, India's captain, had words of praise for Mascarenhas.
"I've never seen hitting quite as big as that," he admitted.
"I have bowled spinner for last over before, but here it looks like the wrong decision because he went for five sixes.
"But our fast bowlers were going for 14-15 and Yuvraj bowled a good 48th over. If Piyush had caught the first one, it would have been different.
"After that one I said to Yuvraj, don't worry he'll edge the next one. Then I said it after the second one, but after the third one I gave up."
