Dhoni was widely criticised for not showing initiative in his 37-ball 58 as India could only manage 236 in 50 overs after England posted 322 for seven.

The England Test captain admitted that confidence gained from facing Kuldeep will help in Test matches should the youngster find a place in the playing XI.

England defeated India by 86 runs to level three-match ODI series 1-1 at Lord's, London, on Saturday.

While there has been a lot of focus on Indian wrist spinners, the visitors will be missing the services of Jasprit Bumrah, and possibly of Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the first ODI, who is in doubt with a stiff back.

England have announced a 14-man squad, calling top-order batsman Joe Root back in the shortest format team for the first time since September 2017.

It was a remarkable turnaround of form from England, which lost the first Test at Lord's by nine wickets inside four days.

Pakistan didn't capitalize on winning the toss at Headingley, with its batsmen failing to handle a swinging and seaming ball as England's pace attack dominated the proceedings on Day 1.

England has now not won a Test series away from home since 2016 when it beat South Africa 2-1 in South Africa.

The New Zealand openers saw off the immediate threat of the new ball and set a foundation for the series hosts to push for victory.

Root had batted more than three hours for his 51 to rally England's resistance in the face of that heavy deficit but his dismissal on the brink of stumps on day 4 swung the match back in New Zealand's favour.

After an eventful first day on which England was bowled out for only 58, the first day-night Test match in New Zealand has effectively come to a soggy halt.

Kiwi pacers - Trent Boult took a career-best 6/32 and Tim Southee took 4/25 in the first day-night Test played in New Zealand to jointly bowl out England for 58 in 20.4 overs on day 1.

The Black Caps on Wednesday named its team for the match which will be the first pink-ball Test played in New Zealand and the ninth in any country.

The rejection from the Indian cash-rich league caused huge distress and made Root realise that he requires to improve as a T20 player.
