Birmingham weather forecast for England vs India: Chances of rain, average temperatures for 1st ODI

India head to Birmingham for the first ODI against England on Tuesday after suffering a 0-4 defeat in the T20I series.

The T20 world champions thus surrendered their world number one ranking in the format and will be desperate for a fresh start at Edgbaston.

England completed the demolition in Southampton, romping to a 56-run victory as Jos Buttler blasted 131 and Harry Brook finished unbeaten on 95 to seal a first-ever T20I series win over India.

India's ODI squad looks far more formidable, with Shubman Gill taking the captaincy and Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah all returning to a side that has won eight of its 12 ODIs at Edgbaston.

There is plenty riding on the opener for both teams, with England eyeing a clean sweep of the entire tour and India seeking any semblance of redemption. All eyes, though, will first turn skywards in the Midlands.
