Nottingham - India captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to field against England in the first one-day international at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
England were forced into making a change, with opener Alex Hales ruled out of a match on his Nottinghamshire home ground due to a side strain suffered batting in the nets on Wednesday.
Jonny Bairstow was promoted to open alongside Jason Roy, while Test captain Joe Root - left out of the side beaten by India as the tourists completed a 2-1 Twenty20 series win in Bristol last weekend - was in the team at number three, with all-rounder Ben Stokes due to bat at number five.
India gave an ODI debut to Siddarth Kaul, a 28-year-old medium-pacer who has previously played two Twenty20 internationals.
This is the first of a three-match series that continues at Lord's on Saturday and concludes at Headingley on Tuesday.
England's most recent ODI at Trent Bridge saw Hales make 147 in an all-time men's record total of 481 for six during a 242-run win against Australia on June 19.
