New England white-ball captain Jos Buttler has admitted his side "came third in a two-horse race" after losing the first ODI against India by ten wickets, having been skittled for just 110.
Jasprit Bumrah picked up career best figures of 6-19, delivering a brilliant opening spell that saw him dismiss Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone for a combined seven runs. India then chased down their 111 target inside 19 overs without losing a single wicket, with Rohit Sharma blasting 76 off 58 balls and Shikhar Dhawan scoring a more sedate 31 off 54.
Reflecting on the defeat at the post-match presentation, Buttler said: "It's a really tough day, we came third in a two-horse race there. It's tough to take but we've got to dust ourselves down quickly for a game at Lord's on Thursday.
