England dominated Pakistan in the first One-day International (ODI) in Cardiff despite fielding a depleted lineup.

England named an entirely revamped 18-man squad on Tuesday, with the returning all-rounder Ben Stokes as captain instead of Eoin Morgan, after three of their players and four support staff, all as yet unnamed, tested positive for Covid-19 in Bristol on Monday.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the England squad, which faced Sri Lanka, were forced to self-isolate. Consequently, they were ruled out of the three ODIs against Pakistan as well.

The home side fielded five debutants in the first ODI on Thursday against Pakistan.
