Only Nair and KL Rahul average more than 40 against the red ball in the UK, most of Nair's cricket in this country coming in the County Championship for Northants'.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has emerged as the brightest batting hope, and KL Rahul remains a capable match-winner.

Hardik Pandya took India closer and, after he fell for 18, KL Rahul finished 34 not out as Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning runs with an over to spare.

The swaggering all-rounder holed out with India six away, which left KL Rahul to win the match with a six of his own with 11 balls to spare against the side who beat them in the 2023 World Cup final.

Smith will be heavily reliant on his leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who has dismissed Rohit four times in ODIs, Virat Kohli five and both Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul on four occasions.
