England were bundled out for 205 after skipper Joe Root won the toss and decided to bat first. At stumps, India's score read 24/1 with Rohit (8) and Pujara (15) at the crease -- trailing the visitors by 181 runs in the first innings. After a disappointing show with the bat, England got off to a flying start with the ball as James Anderson struck with the third ball of the innings. The pace spearhead trapped Gill (0) in front of the stumps as India lost a wicket with no run on the board. But Rohit and Pujara ensured that was the end of the visitors' joy on the day as they played out the remaining 11.3 overs without losing any wicket. Earlier, Axar Patel hogged the limelight with his four-wicket haul while R Ashwin scalped three as England was bundled out for 205. While it was Mohammad Siraj who picked the all-important wicket of Root in the first session, Ashwin broke the deadlock in the third session as he dismissed Ollie Pope.

Warner trumps Carey’s effort as NSW win
DOMESTIC ONE-DAY CUP by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Warner marked his return to action with a match-winning 87 © Getty David Warner (87) and Oliver Davies (40*) made useful contributions to help New South Wales post a comfortable six-wicket win over South Australia in the One-Day Cup in Adelaide.

Eventually, South … [Read more...] about Warner trumps Carey’s effort as NSW win
