The match will happen at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Preview

England will face India in the first ODI of the three-match series during India’s tour of England on Tuesday, July 14, at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The hosts enter the series with momentum after securing a commanding 4-0 victory over India in the recently concluded T20I series.
