    Opener Ben Duckett says he does not care if England are beaten 3-0 in their one-day series in India, as long as they win the Champions Trophy.

    England have lost six of their seven matches on Brendon McCullum's first tour as white-ball coach and are already 2-0 down going into the third and final ODI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

    They then travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, beginning their campaign against Australia on 22 February.

    "We have come here for one thing and that is to win the Champions Trophy," said Duckett. "We still believe we can do that. It'll be completely different conditions, all different teams we are playing against.

    "If we lose 3-0 to India, I don't care as long as we beat them in the final of the Champions Trophy. If we do that, we probably won't look back on this if we do the business in that competition."

    India captain Rohit Sharma: "I wanted to bat first and put runs on the board because we've chased a couple of times in the series already so we want to see how we post a score as well.

    "I enjoyed my time in the middle, it was important for me and the team as well. It was very pleasing to win the game.

    "A lot of these guys take a lot of pride in how they want to portray themselves on the field and both the games were a perfect example of that. There's a lot of young blood in the squad and they want to put everything on the line for the team."

    England captain Jos Buttler: "The dew plays a small part in the decision but we've batted twice first in the series so want to experience bowling first ahead of the Champions Trophy.

    "We've got into some good positions but we need individuals and partnerships to go on and make match-winning contributions. It looks a decent wicket."
