England lived up to their reputation as world champions. There was a lack of intent from India and their opponents were better in all three departments of the game. That 100-run plus stand between Sciver and Beaumont didn’t allow India to get back in the game. 201 was below par, yes, but England made really light work of the chase. Two games for India to make a comeback and clinch the series. But this is a morale crushing defeat.
That’s it from us today but do join us on 30th June as we’ll bring you the live updates from the second ODI between the two sides. Goodbye.
22:00 (IST)
Tammy Beaumont, Player of the Match: Thought was a very good wicket, our bowlers did a fantastic job to keep them to that score. It skidded on quite nicely. Akways great fun with Nat. She scores very quickly. I know if I play a few dots she'll release the pressure. My role is to bat as long as possible. There's such talent there. So much talent, so much competition for places.
21:58 (IST)
India captain Mithali Raj: There are some areas we need to address. England definitely had a very experienced bowling attack and they know their conditions well. We’ll try to come back and show intent in the next game. Other than Jhulan, the other two seamers couldn’t find their rhythm. We’ll definitely look to make changes to the composition of our team in the next game.
England captain Heather Knight: Katherine and Anya set it up with the new ball. Bit more pace in the pitch. It was a plan. Felt that the pitch had a bit more pace to be effective (short ball). Thought it was actually a brilliant cricket wicket. She was brilliant today, nearly catching Tammy. Scores very quickly. That record is remarkable. What form she is in (Tammy). Brilliant to see her do so well.

21:32 (IST)

After 25 overs, ENGW 125/2 (Natalie Sciver 25, Tammy Beaumont 62)

After 17 overs, ENGW 86/1 (Natalie Sciver 3, Tammy Beaumont 45)

20:31 (IST)
After 16 overs, ENGW 84/1 (Natalie Sciver 1, Tammy Beaumont 45)
Bisht continues. Beaumont has been using her feet against spin quite a lot. And that brings stumping into play as a dismissal. But she’s striking it right from the middle of the bat.

Live Score updates England Women vs India Women first ODI at Bristol: Live Score updates England Women vs India Women first ODI at Bristol: Harmanpreet continues. Beaumont thumps the penultimate delivery down the ground for a maximum to level the scores. It is followed by a wide from Harmanpreet, meaning England get home with eight wickets in hand and with 91 balls to spare. The hosts have been way too good for India.
After showing their calibre against England in the longest format of the game, India will hope to maintain the same form in the limited-overs series against England, who won the 50-over format World Cup in 2017.
In their preview ODI series played in March this year, India suffered four defeats against South Africa and won just once. With the World Cup scheduled next year, the skipper and the team management will aim to make significant improvements with the team.
"We look really positive going into the World Cup. The way the girls performed to save the Test has added confidence to the unit. England is a very good side, one of the best in the world. They will have the advantage playing at home. But we have players who have played leagues here in England, we'll gather information from them and that will help us do well," Mithali Raj said.
India's batting sensation Shafali Verma is all set to make her ODI debut in the first match. She has been in good form, performing in both the innings in the recent Test.
