England 'won't panic' despite heavy defeat in first India ODI, says captain Jos Buttler

We finished third in a two- horse race.

England is not used to days like this.

When you looked at the teamsheet, you could not help but think about the last time those five played together in a one-day international.

On a hot day at The Oval, England's batting line-up of World Cup heroes crumbled and they were thrashed by India.

They had never lost by such a large amount at home.

Since England played VHS cricket in a DVD age, they have not lost a game by more than 10 points.

Buttler said it was a difficult day. We finished third in a two horse race.

It's difficult to accept.

Buttler said that batting has been England's "super strength" over the last seven years.

They broke the world record on three occasions, the last being against the Netherlands three weeks ago.

Their eagerness to attack proved to be their downfall as they faced a lively pitch and Jasprit Bumrah.

Roy's form is such that he is making batting look as complicated as splitting the atom.

Bairstow andRoot nicked catches through to the keeper.

Liam Livingstone was struck around his legs by a ball after wandering in the direction of Wimbledon.

Even Buttler was caught.

The Dublin-born skipper was steadfast in sticking to his guns when batting failed.

Buttler struck a different tone than Morgan did.

Is it possible that the conditions allowed us to counter-attack today? Buttler made a comment.

I don't believe they did. Is it possible to sit in and absorb pressure and bat ugly and come out the other side?

I'm open to both ways of doing it.

This is the first instance of tweaking English cricket's favourite phrase, ButtlerBall.

James Anderson, England's all-time leading Test bowler, was in the commentary box.

He said that England have a few players who haven't played white-ball cricket in a while.

That could be one of the reasons.

They will have to decide if it was the toss or if the Indians could have done more in the first 10 overs.

It's possible that 250 could have been a challenge on that track.

Buttler wanted to make sure there was no need to panic before the second match.

We didn't deal with that as well as we'd have liked because India was so good.

The players in there are some of the best we have had.

There is no need to worry. It will be good to get back out there and put things right on Thursday because there's not much time to think about it.

The best place for England's top five to get back in touch is at the site of their greatest moment.
