Warwickshire batsman Ian Bell could return to the England team for the first one-day international against West Indies at Lord's on Sunday.Bell missed the Twenty20 series with a groin injury but could replace Bears teammate Jonathan Trott if he comes through Saturday's net practice. Wicketkeeper Matt Prior is fit to play despite being hit by a Daren Powell delivery at The Oval on Friday. West Indies hope Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Devon Smith will be fit to return. Star batsman Chanderpaul has a right knee injury while all-rounder Smith is battling to overcome a thigh problem. Meanwhile, AFP adds from London, West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the second Twenty20 international against England here at The Oval on Friday. Ramdin pleaded guilty to breaching clause 1.3 of the ICC code of conduct, the rule governing dissent, at a post-match hearing held at the London ground on the same day. The charge related to a comment made by Ramdin to umpire Nigel Llong at the end of an over in which Ramdin had an appeal for a catch at the wicket turned down by the English official. Match referee Mike Procter, who conducted the hearing and imposed the reprimand, said in an ICC statement issued Saturday: "The player was clearly disappointed that an appeal had been turned down by umpire Llong but, at the end of the over, he allowed that disappointment to become dissent and that is completely unacceptable. "The player was extremely apologetic at the hearing and I took that into account in reaching my decision but any form of dissent cannot be allowed to pass as the game revolves around respect for an umpire's decision," former South Africa all-rounder Procter added. "The player will now have this mark on his record and that will obviously count against him if he fails to uphold the ICC code of conduct in future." Level One breaches of the code carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player's match fee. The charge was brought by umpire Llong and the hearing also attended by Ramdin, West Indies captain Chris Gayle and team manager Michael Findlay. For all Level one breaches, the match referee's decision is final and binding. England won Friday's match by five wickets to square the two-match Twenty20 series at 1-1 after West Indies' 15-run win at The Oval on Thursday. The opening match of a three-game one-day international series is scheduled to take place at Lord's on Sunday with the remaining fixtures in the English Midlands, at Edgbaston in Birmingham on July 4 and at Nottingham's Trent Bridge on July 7. England, prior to the Twenty20s, won a four-match Test series against the West Indies 3-0.
