England fall to humiliating 10-wicket defeat against India in first ODI of new era

England slipped to an embarrassing ten-wicket defeat against India in the first ODI at the Oval after getting bowled out for just 110, with Jasprit Bumrah the star of the show for the visitors.

New England white-ball captain Jos Buttler was able to welcome back Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and Ben Stokes after their success playing 'Bazball'. As a result, England lined up with five members of the top six that played in their 2019 World Cup final win, with Liam Livingstone replacing the recently retired Eoin Morgan.

However, England's big hitters spectacularly failed to make an impact with four members of their top six getting out for nought, just the sixth time that has happened to any side in 4,421 ODIs. After winning the toss and choosing to bowl, India reduced England to 30-5 in the powerplay, with Bumrah leading the way as he took career best figures of 6-19.
