MS Dhoni has claimed that one-day international cricket was a good format for his side to find their best form again after beating England in Cardiff on Wednesday.

India's captain helped his side to a 133-run victory in the second ODI as the tourists took the advantage in the series, and he admits that it was pleasing to see the players adapt to the shorter format following their disappointment in the Test matches.

"In the next three matches we'll have more support than the England team which is unusual at times," Dhoni told Sky Sports News. "You can't play one-dimensional cricket, it's a good format to come back into form.

"The start is always crucial, the first 10 overs was not about the runs we scored and it was important to not lose wickets. If we have a good stand after 30 overs we will double the score."

The series resumes at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
