Six wickets from Jasprit Bumrah and an easy chase completed by openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan helped India defeat England by ten wickets in the ODI series-opener at the Oval on Tuesday.

Bumrah's career-best 6/19 included the wickets of England's top three batters with Jason Roy and Joe Root getting out on ducks and Jonny Bairstow losing his battle to the Indian bowler after scoring 7. The outing also made Bumrah the first Indian pacer to take six wickets in an ODI in England.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and the English batters had no answer to seamers Bumrah and Mohammed Shami (3/31) who made full use of the overcast conditions on the green pitch at the Oval. For England, captain Jos Buttler top-scored with 30 runs off 32 balls.

Chasing 111, India rode on captain Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 76 and Shikhar Dhawan's (31 not out) to romp home to victory in just 18.4 overs without the loss of any wicket.

Bumrah gave Team India a dream start as he charged straight through, sending England opener Jason Roy and their No 3 batter Joe Root back to the dressing room for ducks, in his first over.

Meanwhile, all-rounder Ben Stokes fell for a golden duck after wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant took a brilliant one-handed catch to his right off Shami’s second over.

The hosts were reduced to 7/3 in just 2.4 overs.

Rishabh once again displayed excellent reflexes at the back to send Jonny Bairstow (7 runs off 20 balls) packing off Bumrah’s ball. The Indian seamer picked his third wicket of the day as England looked in all sorts of trouble at 22/4 after the end of six overs.

There was no stopping Bumrah as he bowled one around the legs of Liam Livingstone to castle the base of his stumps. Livingstone became the fourth England top-order batter to be dismissed for a duck in the match.

Superb bowling from the Indian seamers saw England struggle at 30/5 after the end of first powerplay, with skipper Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali in the middle.

Buttler and Ali’s (14 runs off 18 balls) partnership, however, ended soon as the latter hit a ball straight back to bowler Prasidh Krishna, who took an excellent reaction catch in his followthrough.

Skipper Buttler (30 runs off 32 balls) who looked like England’s last hope top-edged a delivery from Shami which flew into the hands of Suryakumar Yadav at deep square as England reeled at 59/7 after 15 overs.

Shami, meanwhile, reached a milestone in his ODI career, picking up 150 wickets from 80 matches after he bowled Craig Overton for 8 runs (7 balls).

Tailenders David Willey and Brydon Carse then steered the England innings from 68/8 to 103. But Carse (15 runs off 26 balls) was bamboozled by a superb yorker from Bumrah as he became the first Indian to clinch a fifer in a limited-over game at the Oval.

Bumrah ended with career-best figures of 6/19 from 7.2 overs after he castled Willey's (21 runs off 26 balls) stumps as England bundled out for a mere 110 runs in 25.2 overs.

Captain Rohit Leads Successful Run Chase

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan was handed a life without even facing a ball after England missed a run out chance at the keeper’s end in the first ball of the visitors chase.

After a rather slow start, India raced to 52 runs without the loss of any wicket, with skipper Rohit Sharma (38 not put of 29 balls) scoring the major share of the runs after the end of the first powerplay.

Rohit, who was unbeaten on 45 might have missed out on a fifty after a leg-before appeal by England seamer Brydon Carse was turned down by the umpire. England skipper Buttler reviewed nevertheless, but replays showed umpire's call, and Rohit survived.

The Indian skipper reached his fifty in style by depositing a short ball from Carse into the stands effortlessly. From then on, Rohit decided to up the ante as he hit a four, six and a single in the same over to take India’s score to 97/0 after 17 overs.

Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out) slashed a ball to deep point boundary as India recorded a ten-wicket victory over England to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
