"The fifth ODI between India and England, scheduled to be played at Dharamsala on Sunday, 27 January 2013, will start at 9:30 am, instead of 9:00 am," the BCCI said in a release.

The revised timings will have no effect over the length of the game as it would be a 50-overs-a-side affair.

India has taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series and the final ODI gives the host team a chance to test the bench. England, meanwhile, would look to end the tour on a positive note.
