England asked to bat first in Pune

Virat Kohli, starting life as India’s 50-over captain after inheriting the reins from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, won the toss and opted to chase under lights in the day/night contest at MCA Stadium. England selected Jake Ball ahead of fellow seamer Liam Plunkett, who has been struggling with a calf injury, with Joe Root back at number three after missing both warm-ups to attend the birth of his first child.
