England have posted a total of 337 for 7 in their stipulated quota of 50 overs against India during their World Cup tie at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Sunday.
Winning the toss, England skipper Eoin Morgan decided to bat first in a must-win match for the Englishmen.
The Three Lions came all guns blazing with openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow. The duo stitched an opening wicket partnership of 160 runs in 22 overs. At this point, England were looking to go for a mighty total but Kuldeep Yadav sent back Roy (66), courtesy a breathtaking catch by substitute fielder Ravindra Jadeja to calm things down.

But Jonny Bairstow continued his onslaught to register 8th ODI century of his career before falling to Mohammed Shami at an individual score of 111. Bairstow’s blitzkrieg included 10 boundaries and 6 half-dozens. Things became tough for England after Bairstow’s departure but Joe Root and Ben Stokes added 70 runs for the 4th wicket and took England back in the game.
Fireworks from England ace all-rounder Stokes toward the end helped England reach a total of 337 runs. Stokes scored 79 runs in just 54 balls, smacking 6 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowler for India with figures of 5 for 69 in 10 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was also exceptional with the ball as the yorker specialist conceded just 44 runs in his 10 overs with a wicket of Stokes.
