England batsman Ravi Bopara has set his sights on piling on the agony for India in a bid to cement his spot in Alastair Cook’s one-day team. Although Bopara has 61 one-day international caps, his inconsistent form means he has never been able to nail down a place in England’s squad and the last three matches of the limited overs series against the beleaguered Indians offers a golden opportunity to do just that. Bopara has only scored five half-centuries for England, with an average of just over 28, yet an injury to Eoin Morgan and Kevin Pietersen’s rest period means the Essex star is still firmly in captain Cook’s plans. Morgan took Bopara’s place in the Test team against Sri Lanka earlier this year, but he is out of the rest of the one-day series and the 26-year-old knows he must take advantage, starting in the third match at The Oval on Friday.
