Bumrah destroyer in chief for England
The first ODI saw India win the toss and opt to field. The decision paid immediate dividends as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami ran through England’s top order. Jos Buttler tried to rescue his team, but Shami came back for his second spell to end his innings for 30. Knocks of 21, 15 and 14 from David Willey, Moeen Ali and Brydon Carse then took England to a measly total of 110. Bumrah was India’s destroyer-in-chief with the ball, returning career-best figures of 6/19 from his 7.2 overs. Mohammed Shami took three wickets, while Prasidh Krishna also claimed a scalp.
The chase was a straightforward one for India as Rohit Sharma hammered 76 off just 58 deliveries. India chased down the target in just 18.2 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
