England may have won the first Test against Bangladesh by 22 runs, but their former captain Michael Vaughan believes the team could face the humiliation of a 5-0 whitewash against India next month.
A much improved Bangladesh side gave Alastair Cook's men a big scare in the Chittagong Test, but they eventually clinched victory on the fifth day.

England batsmen struggled against the home team spinners in both innings. 
And Vaughan says they will be humiliated by the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin in India if they don't show any improvement. 
"If they perform like they did against Bangladesh, it'll be 5-0," the stylish Vaughan told BBC in an interview.
"It doesn't matter who goes first. England for such a long time are always 30 or 40 for three. If they're 30 or 40 for three against India they'll get blown away," he added.
"Yes, you celebrate a win, but hopefully England, in the background, are being honest with themselves that they can play better."
England will play the first of their five Tests against India in Rajkot (November 9-13).
Visakhapatnam (November 17-21), Mohali (November 26-30), Mumbai (December 8-12) and Chennai (December 16-20) will host the second, third, fourth and fifth Test matches.
