England’s tour of India continues with a three-match ODI series, and the whole thing is live on talkSPORT 2.
Jos Buttler‘s men were thrashed 4-1 in the T20 series, and ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month, they need to find some form in one-dayers.
This is the start of a new era for the England limited-overs team, with Brendon McCullum now in charge as well as being head coach for the Test side.
But despite plenty of great moments during the T20 matches, there were some brutal defeats to India.
The tourists must now forget that, and focus on these three games.

India vs England: Team news
From the T20 squad, the biggest change is that Joe Root is back in the ODI set-up.
The Yorkshireman is England’s leading run scorer in Tests and returns after a year-and-a-half absence.
He is the only addition to the T20 team, with Rehan Ahmed the man to miss out.
However, given it is a different format, expect to see some changes to the England team, with Root almost certain to be batting at four.
For India, there are some huge names back into the fold after sitting out the T20 series.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to the squad, while Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also included.
But the world-class talent doesn’t end there, as Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja all return.

India vs England: What has been said?
After a miserable end to the T20 series, Buttler revealed he was worried England were going to become the first international team to concede 300 T20 runs in a match.
In the end, India put on 258, and bowled England out 150 runs short of the target.
Speaking after the match in Mumbai, he said: “At one point I was thinking I don’t want to be the team that concedes 300 for the first time.
“The guys stuck in and we had two commendable performances from Brydon Carse and Mark Wood.”
