Aussies make two changes in Nagpur

Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss for the fourth straight time on tour and sent India in to bat in the second ODI in Nagpur.

The Australians have made two changes to the line-up that lost the first ODI in Hyderabad, with veteran Shaun Marsh returning in place of rookie Ashton Turner, and Nathan Lyon in for speedster Jason Behrendorff.

Marsh was not considered for the first match in Hyderabad, which India won by six wickets, due to a late arrival to the subcontinent having stayed at home for the birth of his second child and concerns about his troublesome hamstrings.

The veteran's recall has seen a reshuffle to the batting order, with game-one first-drop Marcus Stoinis sliding down the order to No.6, behind in-form allrounder Glenn Maxwell.

Marsh, 35, averages 47.83 and has three centuries in 13 innings batting at No.3 and has been the standout batter in Australia's ODI top order over the past 12 months.

Lyon, meanwhile, returns for an 18th ODI spread across eight years, and will pair up with in-form leg-spinner Adam Zampa.

While Marsh has been flying in the 50-over format, his captain Aaron Finch has been struggling for runs.

Finch concedes he is out of form and spent a one-on-one net session with head coach Justin Langer before training today at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.

Finch has the backing of Langer and every squad member that has spoken publicly during his lean patch, with Zampa the latest to predict runs are just around the corner for the skipper.

"In terms of morale he's been unbelievable," Zampa said.

"He hasn't captained a lot for Australia but he's been doing a really good job to keep himself really good for the team.

"Aaron's been great and he's a world-class player.

"I think he's got the third or fourth most hundreds in one-day cricket for Australia.

"We've seen with guys like Virat (Kohli), (MS) Dhoni at the end of the day their experience has probably been the difference between us in Australia (for the three-match Gillette ODI Series) and the first game here.

"So Finchy's experience is going to be pivotal for us moving forward. We know he's going to turn it around."
