Pietersen, who had been rested for the ODI series, also disappointed on his first game on India tour. The former skipper's last ODI hundred was in 2008 in India and the right-handed batsman will look to get back to form soon.
Ian Bell too can't afford to waste any time and have to get back among runs, while Ravi Bopara and Chris Woakes, who sizzled with the bat in the first game, will look to continue their brilliant run.
Cook was not too worried about their batting after the first game though he acknowledged there were some poor shot selection by his batsmen.
"We would obviously have loved to put up a bigger score. They fielded very well and pulled off some brilliant catches. There was some poor shot selection. We are not worried. It was a decent win in the end," he had said.
