The tourists were due to fly from Cuttack to Guwahati today prior to Saturday's sixth one-day international as part of the seven week tour of India.

But last nights terrorist attacks in Mumbai, which have killed more than 100 people and injured 250 more, have prompted the tourists to delay their journey while they hold talks with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

England stayed at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, the scene of the terrorist incident, just two weeks ago and were due to return there on December 16 prior to the final Test three days later.
