However, the win masked the abject failure of the other Indian batsmen.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe Indians were 211 for five at the end of 40 overs when Rayudu went off the field to give the other batsmen a chance to get a knock.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe next four wickets fell for 19 runs in 26 deliveries as India were bowled out for 230 in 44.2 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe top-order was once again found wanting. Shikhar Dhawan, who seems to be living on borrowed time, did nothing to justify his inclusion and neither did his opening partner Rohit Sharma.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn fact, the highest scorer after Kohli and Rayudu was Ravichandran Ashwin with 18 runs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSuresh Raina, who was not part of the Test setup, made his return to the 50-over side with a shoddy performance.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThere were more worrying signs for the left-hander as the Indian management decided to send him nine-down, hinting that Raina was not a certainty for Monday&#39;s match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMahendra Singh Dhoni&#39;s Test captaincy credentials have come into question and he will have to shore up his side&#39;s batting if he is to keep his one-day record intact.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe bowlers performed well though, skittling out Middlesex for 135 all out in 39.5 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe pick of the bowlers was leggie Karn Sharma, taking four wickets. All pacers were amongst the wickets, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar giving away just seven runs from his three overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUmesh Yadav, who is trying to stake a claim in the starting eleven, was a tad expensive but picked up a wicket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDhawal Kulkarni was impressive and caused the opposition batsmen more than a few problems.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDhoni has more than a few options in bowling and would be interesting to see who he picks.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSquads:<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIndia: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhawal Kulkarni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Sanju Samson, Karn Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEngland: Alastair Cook, (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Jos Buttler, Steven Finn, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
