In the 2nd One Day International (ODI) of a five-match series, the England squad will take on India at the Jawaharial Stadium in Kochi on Tuesday. After a nine-run victory over MS Dhoni and company, the English currently sport a 1-0 lead.

With three loses in their last four ODIs at home, the hosts are struggling immensely. Dhoni has had minimal time to turn the team around since India lost a three-match series to its rivals Pakistan.

Battling half centuries from the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina, combined with quick innings from Dhoni himself and newbie Ajinkya Rahane weren't even enough to take out England's 325/4.

The issue with India remains its bowling woes and a lack of performance in the remaining few overs. The English scored 89 runs from the final 10 overs of the 1st ODI, which is way too many for Dhoni's team to afford, even if the squad does possess one of the most threatening batting line-ups in the world of cricket.

Although the English bowlers have been exceptionally better, it was the below par bowling in the first of the innings that gave the Indian batsman a really difficult target.
