England vs India live stream and how to watch the 1st ODI cricket online and on TV

The action between these two old rivals is coming thick and fast - just 48 hours after England's consolation win at the end of their the three-match 20 over series, today sees them take on India again for this, the first of three ODIs between the two sides. The England vs India ODI series sees the return of key stars Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes to white-ball duty for the hosts as they look to build on Sunday's win at Trent Bridge. Follow our guide to find a free England vs India live stream, online and on TV, from wherever you are.

Bairstow is expected to open alongside Jason Roy, with Stokes set to slip into the middle order. The Men In Blue come into the series in confident form despite Sundays defeat, with plenty of credit in the bank after their clinical 50-run win in Southampton, followed by an equally impressive 49 run win in the second T20I in Birmingham.

The match looks set to give Virat Kohli a chance to once again answer his critics with the 50 overs-a-side format allowing the Royal Challengers Bangalore star the opportunity to rack up a big individual score and silence those growing voices that have started to call into question his place in the starting line up.

The 1st ODI of England vs India starts today at 1pm BST on 12th July 2022. Read on to find out how you can watch an England vs India live stream from wherever you are in the world.
