England opted to bat first after winning the toss at Lord's Cricket Ground. They ended Day 1 on 251 for 4 after 83 overs. The hosts adopted a circumspect approach, scoring at just over three runs per over. Despite having wickets in hand, Ben Stokes and his side didn’t play with their usual Bazball approach.
“It was a good day for England,” Ashwin began, “but everyone believed they would continue with Bazball. What we saw instead was Prankball. Their run rate dropped, and they looked far more defensive than expected.”
