Lancashire all-rounder Flintoff, 30, was due to play his second one-dayer of the week - but a stomach bug stopped him taking any part in the two-wicket loss.

He is in India with England's second string, as he steps up his comeback from a fourth operation on his left ankle, and made just four runs in Tuesday's victory over Mumbai.

England Lions were further disrupted when captain Michael Yardy was struck down with a migraine shortly before play began at the Brabourne Stadium.

With the toss - which the tourists lost - already having taken place, it meant the English side were forced to bat with 10 men.

Hampshire's Michael Carberry, whose hundred proved the cornerstone of a three-wicket victory two days ago, struck 67 off 84 balls as the Lions posted 182.

Left-hander Carberry hit seven fours and a six as he showed his fondness for the Cricket Club of India headquarters.

But Yorkshire all-rounder Adil Rashid was the only other batsman to weigh in with a score, hitting 40.

The Lions were kept in the contest thanks to a fine new-ball spell from Durham's Graham Onions which saw him claim four wickets.

Onions then returned for a second burst later in the innings and caused further damage to reduce Maharashtra to 160 for eight. Onions finished with figures of 10-0-39-7. But general waywardness - in all 19 runs were given away in wides - cost the Lions dearly.
