India beat England by 10 wickets in first ODI

India was guided home by skipper Rohit Sharma (76 not out off 58) and Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out off 54), who was playing in his first competitive match since the IPL. While Rohit dazzled the crowd with some magnificent strokes, particularly the two front foot pulls off Craig Overton that went for a six and four, Dhawan naturally took some time to find his groove.

Dhawan got rolling with back-to-back boundaries off Reece Topley after struggling to 2 off 17 balls. India had plenty of time to easily win, leaving the southpaw to relax. With his third six of the inning, an easy hook off Brydon Chase past fine leg, Rohit surpassed the 50-run milestone. Prior to Dhawan's game-winning boundary, he pulled Chase for his fifth maximum at the conclusion of the innings.

When India chose to send the opposition in earlier because of the cloudy weather and grass on the field, the pacers took full advantage of the situation. To become the first Indian pacer to take five or more wickets in an ODI in England, Bumrah finished with incredible stats.

The ball was moving quickly and swinging and seaming, which made Bumrah and Mohammed Shami (3/31) even more deadly. As he played on while attempting an extended drive from a full and wide ball off Bumrah, Jason Roy's (0) struggle persisted. Roy was unaware of the thunderous inswingers Bumrah unleashed prior to learning his number.

The in-form Joe Root (0) was anticipating another quick inswinger two balls later, but Bumrah produced one that rose beyond the off-stump and edged to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant for a double-wicket debut.

From the other end, Shami also joined in the fun and caught Ben Stokes (0) off guard with a back of length ball that seemed to come back in sharply to grab the inside edge and Pant made an amazing one-handed catch. The India wicket keeper had a busy day as he took his second one-handed catch to dismiss the dangerous Jonny Bairstow (7) and give Bumrah his third wicket.

Bumrah soon made it 26 for five as Liam Livingstone (0) charged down the track to upset the bowler's rhythm but ended playing around a fast and swinging yorker on the leg stump. England skipper Jos Buttler (30 off 32) showed positive intent to get his team out of the hole but played one too many considering the game situation.

Brought back into the attack, Shami went for a short ball and Buttler mistimed the pull to be caught at deep square leg, leaving England tottering at 59 for seven. India playing four pacers including Hardik Pandya and Prasidh Krishna also helped the visitors maintain the pressure.

A ninth wicket partnership for 35 runs between David Willey (21 off 26) and Bryson Carse (15 off 26) allowed England get past their lowest total, 86, made against Australia back in 2001.

Bumrah came back into the attack to pick his second five-wicket haul in ODI cricket. It was not a surprise that he got to the milestone with a yorker that was too good for Carse. Star batter Virat Kohli missed the series opener due to a groin strain. The second ODI of the three-match series will be played at The Lord's on July 14.
