Defeats in Rajkot and Indore prompted the tourists to re-jig their batting order for Thursday's controversial 16-run Duckworth-Lewis defeat in Kanpur, when bad light ended any hope of victory.

And coach Peter Moores particularly concerned about the way they were dismissed for 240 after reaching 80 for one after 15 overs, saying: "I thought there were lots of good things to come out of it. Ravi Bopara up the top played well, as did Ian Bell, and it was a good opening stand. I'm disappointed we didn't push on and get a few more because it was a tough wicket and we didn't get that partnership later on."

He added: "It looked like someone was going to go and then we lost a wicket and that is something we have to look at, but there was no lack of effort."

Moving Bopara to open alongside Bell was judged to be a success after they shared a 79-run stand, but promoting captain Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood up the order was less successful while wicketkeeper Matt Prior disappointed after dropping down to number eight.

Collingwood is perhaps most under threat having struggled with the bat all winter, scoring just 71 runs in eight innings.

Collingwood, who only gave up the England one-day captaincy in August, has not scored a half-century in his last seven one-day international innings.

"The one thing I would say is that the lads were up for the challenge," added Moores.

"It was a good game of cricket, but unfortunately they came out on top thanks to the Duckworth-Lewis method.

"In the field I thought Freddie (Andrew Flintoff) led the charge. He came in to bowl and time and again said we're having a good go and we're up for it - that's what everyone wants to see, an England side totally committed."
