England Win First ODI Against India by 66 Runs
Trent Bridge, Nottingham, 12 July 2022: England claimed the first of a three-match Royal London Series against India by 66 runs at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.
England posted 246-8 after being sent into bat by visiting captain Rohit Sharma. Jason Roy top-scored with 78 from 57 balls and Liam Livingstone contributed a rapid 42 not out from 29.
India’s pursuit never gathered full momentum, despite a typically classy 72 from captain Rohit Sharma and 50 from all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant all struck stylish late boundaries, but it was too little too late to prevent England from making a winning start to the series.

Match Summary:
England won the toss and elected to bat first. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow gave England a flying start, putting on 77 for the first wicket. Bairstow was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah for 19, but Roy continued to attack, reaching his half-century from just 35 balls.
Joe Root and Ben Stokes fell cheaply, but Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali steadied the ship with a 60-run partnership. Livingstone was particularly impressive, striking four sixes in his rapid knock.
Sam Curran and David Willey were dismissed in quick succession, but England managed to post a competitive total of 246-8.
India’s reply never really got going. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put on 49 for the first wicket, but Dhawan was dismissed by Sam Curran for 44. Virat Kohli followed soon after, caught by Ben Stokes off the bowling of Matthew Potts for 18.
Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant added 33 for the fourth wicket, but India were always behind the required run rate. Pant and Hardik Pandya hit some late boundaries, but it was too little too late.
England eventually bowled India out for 180, with Liam Livingstone taking 1-22 and David Willey 0-35.
The win gives England a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The second match will be played at Lord’s on Thursday.
