India

It was a clinical performance from the Indian team in the first ODI. Heading into the second ODI, they would like to play with the same template. Virat Kohli missed out on playing the first ODI and there is no update on the extent of his injury either. A call on his participation in the second ODI will be taken soon.

“Virat has a groin strain during the last game. It can’t be confirmed whether it happened during fielding or while batting. He will probably miss the first ODI tomorrow at Oval as the groin needs rest,” a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.

With the rest of the players fit and fine the team is raring to go for an ODI series win after the Test match loss at Edgbaston. They would ideally play the same XI in case Kohli is not fit in time to play the second ODI.

India Squad

Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Shami, Mohd Siraj, Arshdeep Singh

England

Jos Buttler said that the first ODI loss was a hard pill to swallow. England have been playing an attacking brand of cricket in recent times and for one they have been found out. Four batsmen were dismissed for ducks as India won the match then and there. Buttler the skipper top-scored with 30 but there was hardly any contribution from the other batsmen. Heading into the second ODI, it will be interesting to see if they make any changes to their playing XI and their playing approach.
