Read our privacy policy Half-centuries from captain Jos Buttler and 21-year-old Jacob Bethell rescued England after they had thrown away a promising position against India in the first of three ODIs in Nagpur. England never quite recovered the momentum, with Joe Root out for 19 on his first ODI appearance since the 2023 World Cup, before Buttler’s 52 off 67 balls and Bethell’s 51 from 64 carried England to 248 all out in 47.4 overs. Harshit Rana bounced back from leaking 26 in an over off Salt to take three for 53 while England’s spin problems persisted as the wily Ravindra Jadeja was outstanding in claiming figures of 9-1-26-3, having been rested for India’s 4-1 T20 series win. While Buttler put away Kuldeep Yadav for two fours in an over, the England skipper settled on picking the gaps and running hard, with Bethell not entirely convincing but providing valuable support.
