England captain Alastair Cook has won the toss and elected to bowl in the second One-Day International against India, in Cardiff, on Wednesday.

The opening match of the five-match ODI series in Bristol on Monday was washed out without a ball being bowled.

Alex Hales will make his ODI debut for England and he will open the innings.

For India, Ajinkya Rahnae gets the nod ahead of Ambati Rayudu, who misses out despite a half-century in the practice match against Middlesex.

Bhuveshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma and Mohammed Shamia are the three seamers, while Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are the two spin bowlers.

It is overcast in Durham at the moment with some rain predicted later in the day. The pitch looks green and might help the pacers early on in the match and England would be hoping to make the advantage count with a few early wickets.
