For the first time since team India landed in England it looked like they gave a team performance and team India was in a strong position in the match at the time rain abandoned the match resulting both teams will head to the second one day international match 0-0.
Debutant Rehane played a nice knock of 40 runs and this guy may be part of the dressing room for a long time. Parthiv Patel may not be a regular members of the Indian cricket team now a days but if you look at his performance in the last couple of series in which he has played around 11 matches this once wicket keeper batsmen for team India has played 4 50+ inning and a couple of 30 and 40+ innings all in the opening slot. Perhaps he is a good alternate in case M. S. Dhoni got injured or ruled out of the team due to poor performances. Also it was a sad to see this batsmen falling 5 runs short of his maiden century, perhaps there is a more better time for it to come.
Parthiv Patel during his knock of career best 95 runs.
Injuries are consistent for India and now Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma got injured and its not sure if any of them will feature in the second ODI tomorrow.
