IND v ENG First ODI, Rose Bowl: England crush India by 104 runs

Aug 21, 2007

Ian Bell and Alastair Cook both scored their maiden ODI hundreds as England beat India by 104 runs at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday in the first match of a seven-game series.
Bell made 126 not out and Cook 102 in England's total of 288 for two after India captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to field. They were the first England batsmen to score a century at this level since Kevin Pietersen made 100 against the West Indies in Barbados in April in the team's final match of the World Cup.

Reported Earlier: Indian captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to bowl in the first ODI against England at Southampton on Tuesday.
Having ended a 21-year-old jinx of not winning a Test series in England, India would be keen to keep the momentum going in the seven-match one-day series. Andrew Flintoff will be returning to action after a three-month absence following a third ankle operation. India have left out Ramesh Powar and Robin Uthappa.

India Team: Sachin Tendulkar
