How to watch India vs England: live stream 1st ODI 2025 online
India and England play the first of three ODIs in Nagpur
The India vs England 1st ODI live stream sees the tourists looking to recover from the 4-1 drubbing handed to them during the T20 matches in the last few weeks. Below we have all the information on how to watch India vs England from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and live streams on TV screens, laptops, tablets and mobiles.
England's 2019 50-over World Cup win now seems like a distant memory, and a 2024 that saw them go a whole year without a series win has plunged them to 7th in the world rankings. This is the first opportunity to see how the side will perform under coach Brendon McCullum in the 50-over format.
India welcome the talismanic Rohit Sharma back to captain the side after a miserable Test tour to Australia. But confidence in the white ball camp should be sky high after walloping Wednesday's opponents in the T20 internationals. It's been almost six months since their last ODI – they'll be hoping for a much better showing than their 2-0 series lost to Sri Lanka that time around.
