Television viewers missed the first four overs of England's first one-day international in India after a picture blackout.

The loss of coverage was caused by a breakdown in discussions between production company Nimbus and the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Indian government.

Sky Sports viewers had to listen to a phone commentary provided by David Lloyd and Nick Knight.

The tourists are looking to continue their fine test form from the summer against the Indians but are expecting a tougher test away from home.
