England did not win a single toss in their most recent ODI series but have shown themselves to be adept at setting a target in this format. That will come in handy, as India are most likely to field first given their usual preference for chasing.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Tom Curran has been ruled out of the entire ODI series - having also missed the T20 series. Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan drop out from the T20 squad, with bowler Mark Wood the only addition to the England squad. Sam Billings and Craig Overton have not been retained from the squad selected to face Australia, while Chris Woakes is still injured.
Ben Stokes has proved his fitness, batting and bowling in the third T20 after replacing Joe Root in the line-up. He could start ahead of England's test captain again at Trent Bridge.
Alex Hales' injury means he will be unable to replicate his brilliant batting at Trent Bridge last time out, but it does solve one selection problem for England with Stokes and Root both in the starting XI.
ENG Key Players
Jason Roy hit 67 from 31 balls in the third T20 as he returned to his big-hitting best. Roy hit two centuries in the series win against Australia as he formed a brilliant opening partnership with similarly in-form Jonny Bairstow. Bairstow has hit 703 runs in his last ten innings, including scoring three consecutive ODI centuries.
Even in Alex Hales absence, England have plenty of batting depth. In-form Jos Butler scored a match-winning 110* in England's fifth ODI against Australia, while Ben Stokes will be hoping to proving his fitness and contribute with both bat and ball.
With the ball, leg-spinner Adil Rashid picked up his 100th ODI wicket during the series with Australia and fellow spinner Moeen Ali has picked up 18 wickets in his last ten games.
ENG Team Form
England were in glistening ODI form in their most recent series, as they whitewashed the depleted Australian tourists. It was not just the 5-0 series victory that impressed but the manner of those wins too, which included the world record 481/6 scored in their most recent game at Trent Bridge.
England bowled Australia out in four of the five matches too, taking 48 wickets in the series in total, and their record-breaking score at Trent Bridge - anchored by Alex Hales' 147 from 92 balls - was one of three scores above 300, as Jason Roy hit centuries in totals of 342/8 (won by 38 runs) in Cardiff and 314/4 (won by six wickets) at Durham.
Jos Buttler was the hero in their most recent match, meanwhile. England bowled Australia out for 205 - Moeen Ali claiming 4-46 - but the hosts struggled in reply. Buttler's unbeaten 110 from 122 balls guided them to a nervy one-wicket win and a series whitewash, however.
Prior to facing the Australians, though, England did lose their previous ODI - a shock defeat to Scotland. Scotland posted 371/5 and then bowled England out for 365 to claim a famous six-run victory.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jos Buttler(w), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Sam Curran, Jake Ball, Dawid Malan
India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Shardul Thakur has replaced injured Jasprit Bumrah in India's ODI squad while Washington Sundar - who has an ankle injury - has been replaced by Axar Patel. Ambati Rayudu was supposed to feature in the ODI series but, after failing a fitness test, he did not travel and he has been replaced by Suresh Raina.
IND Key Players
Two of England's traditional tormentors with the ball have been in good form for India, with Kuldeep Yadav claiming 20 wickets in his last eight ODIs and Yuzvendra Chahal taking 24 in his last ten games. Between them, they took 33 wickets in the series against South Africa. Kuldeep was also in brilliant form in the T20 series, winning the first game with 5-24 to turn the game in India's favour, having also claimed seven wickets in Ireland too.
With the bat, India are packed with talent. Virat Kohli averages 167.75 in his last seven ODI matches, while Rohit Sharma has scored 534 runs in ten games at an average of 59.33. Sharma, of course, also hit a century in the most recent T20 international between the two. Kohli was the top scorer in the series against South Africa though, hitting three centuries and one 50 on his way to 558 runs - including an unbeaten 160.
IND Team Form
India's most recent ODI series saw them take on South Africa in February in a six-match series. They set the tone by chasing down 270 to win the first match by six wickets with 4.3 overs to spare, and then bowled South Africa out for 118 to win the second game by nine-wickets. More excellent bowling saw South Africa skittled for 179 in reply to 303/6 and though South Africa won a rain-affected fourth match, India hit back by bowling them out for 201 and 204 to win the final two matches and claim a 5-1 series victory.
India Predicted Playing 11
