After losing 2-1 to India in the T20 series, England will be looking to bounce back in the first of three one-day internationals on Tuesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to claim victory at the Oval as they bid to clinch another series win over England in white-ball cricket.

Match preview

After losing the T20 series, Jos Buttler will be aiming to clinch his first-ever series victory as England's full-time captain this week.

The England skipper experienced a couple of disappointing defeats in his opening two games in the job before claiming his first win as captain in the third and final T20 to avoid a series whitewash.

Despite losing 2-1 in the T20 series, England will be in a confident mood ahead of three ODIs against India.

They are unbeaten across their last three ODI series, including a comprehensive 3-0 whitewash of the Netherlands last month.

The series win over the Netherlands included a comfortable 232-run win in the first ODI, which saw England break their own record for the highest score in ODI cricket after racking up 498-4 off their 50 overs.

Despite thrashing the Netherlands a few weeks ago, England will be mindful of the fact that India were the last team to beat them in a ODI series.

After losing the final Test match to draw the series 2-2, India bounced back in the shorter format of the game, defeating England 2-1 to claim a third consecutive T20 series win.

Despite losing the final T20, India dominated the majority of the series, with Suryakumar Yadav finishing up as the highest run-scorer while three of the top four highest wicket-takers were from the India side.

The visitors will now turn their attention to a three-match ODI series where they will be hoping that their form carries over from the T20 games.

India also have the opportunity to claim back-to-back series victories in ODI cricket after thrashing West Indies 3-0 in their most recent 50-over series.

With the men's cricket World Cup set to be held in India next year, Rohit Sharma's side be looking to build confidence ahead of a tournament on home soil.

While the World Cup may be in their long-term plans, their short-term goal will be to beat England this week, and India will be looking to draw confidence from the 2-1 home win that they picked up in their most recent ODI series against the current world champions.

Following Eoin Morgan's decision to retire from international cricket, Buttler will take charge of his first ODI match as captain on Tuesday.

England's test captain Ben Stokes was rested for the T20 series, but the 31-year-old has been included in the one-day squad, and he is expected to feature in an ODI for the first time since last July.

Joe Root may not play much T20 cricket anymore, but the former Test captain could play a key role in the ODI series for his country.

Meanwhile, Matt Parkinson will provide the leg-spin option for England, while Reece Topley will be looking for another positive performance after taking three wickets for 22 runs in the final T20 match.

Rohit Sharma will captain India, with the 35-year-old set to open the batting for his side throughout the series.

After scoring two runs in his two appearances in the T20 series, Virat Kohli will be desperate to have a positive day with the bat in the first ODI.

While Kohli may be struggling, Suryakumar Yadav will head into Tuesday's game in a confident mood after smashing 117 off 55 balls in the final T20.

India also have a number of high-quality pace options available to them, with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj all included in the squad.

We say: England win

Both teams have experienced recent success in ODI cricket, but after losing the T20 series, we think England will have that extra motivation to make full use of home advantage and claim a victory in the first ODI.
