India finally breaks through in the UK after beating England in ODI at Edgbaston
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) --- India finally won on its tour of the United
Kingdom after handing England its first one-day international defeat at
Edgbaston in 12 years on Tuesday.
England fought back from 107-6 to be 258 all out but couldn't defend it. A calm
and collected India paced the run chase superbly and reached 262-4 to win by
six wickets with 28 balls remaining.
The victory revives what has been a dismal tour for India. The Twenty20 world
champion was blanked in that format by Ireland in Belfast 2-0 and by England
4-0, surrendering its No. 1 ranking.
But ODI reinforcements in the shape of captain Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rohit
Sharma, Jaspit Bumrah and Lokesh Rahul --- many of whom hadn't played for weeks
--- proved too good for England at the start of a three-match series.
The only blemish for India was Gill retiring hurt on 80 with a suspected right
hamstring injury. Gill was well poised for his third century in his last five
internationals for India until he had to hobble off.
