With this being the first ever international game played at the Subrata Roy Sahara cricket stadium, quite a few ‘firsts’ were scored yesterday in the T20 game between India and England. Ashok Dinda bowled the first ball in an international game here, while R Ashwin got the first wicket.

Nottinghamshire batsman Alex Hales scored a number of firsts, facing the first ball, hitting the first four, first six and first fifty in an international game at this venue.
